Peddimax No. 1 with CNC gauging system 400 × 1,000mm
Ref. No. 556
for processing steel plate and angle iron
suitable for models


The CNC gauging system 556 is supplied in sizes of 400×1,000mm and 400×2,000mm.
Mode of operation
- From the centre of the tool, the gauging system can be traversed in the Y-axis up to a distance of 400mm (depth of throat) and in the X-axis up to a distance of 1,000mm.
- Guides on the l.h. and r.h. side of the measuring carriage prevent tilting.
- Exact positioning is ensured by ball screw assemblies.
- The motors are equipped with incremental encoder.

User-friendly versatile software featuring:
- Touch screen
- Data input in inch decimal or metric
- Options "punching" or "centering"
- Graphic display of the holes and/or hole centers, workpiece dimensions, positions of holes and hole centers as well as process monitoring
- Storage of the programs on USB memory stick
- Reading from / writing to USB memory stick
Applications in steel construction
The CNC stop system connects Peddinghaus punching and shearing machines to the company network and transfers job and length data directly to the machine. Instead of entering each position manually at the operator console, the control takes the stop lengths and hole positions straight from work scheduling. This makes recurring section series traceable and repeatable to produce.
Typical applications
- Transfer of cut and hole lengths from work scheduling to the machine without manual entry
- Series production of identical sections using stored length and hole patterns
- Reduction of transfer errors when processing parts lists
- Traceable job handling through integration with the company's IT system
- Fast changeover between different components via retrievable data records
Which businesses use it
Used in structural and metal fabrication shops as well as in series and section production that want to integrate their machines into in-house work scheduling.
Frequently asked questions
What is the CNC stop system used for?
It links the punching or shearing machine to the company network and takes stop lengths and processing data directly from work scheduling instead of entering them at the operator console.
What is the practical benefit of the network connection?
Job data reaches the machine without renewed manual entry. This reduces transfer errors and speeds up setup for recurring section series.
