The automatic CNC contact length stop has been designed for use on the section and flat shear station of the Peddinghaus range of combined steelworkers.
The automatic CNC contact length stop guarantees shearing of your workpieces with utmost accuracy. Mounted to the section and flat shear and combined with a hydraulic hold-down, the length stop provides a perfect system for series production.
Design features
- smoothed, rugged aluminium guide ensuring optimal traversing of the measuring head
- the brush-less servomotor allows silent movement of the measuring head
- quick and easy edition and input of production programs
- LCD display featuring large letters
- preselection counter for the production quantities
- IP65-protected against water and dirt
Mode of operation
- The automatic contact length stop equipped with stop head moves into the selected position.
- The cutting operation starts as soon as the workpiece is pushed against the stop head.
- After cutting the stop head draws slightly back allowing the cut-off material to drop into the bin provided for this purpose.
- After the process the stop head returns into initial position.
- The next cutting operation is ready to be started.
Applications in steel construction
The CNC length stop positions the workpiece automatically to the specified processing length before punching or shearing. The operator places the section, and the control moves the stop to the stored dimension. This means lengths can be kept reproducibly without marking out or measuring each piece anew.
Typical applications
- Automatic approach to the cutting length during section processing
- Reproducible cutting to length of identical parts in series
- Setting several hole positions along a section according to a stored hole pattern
- Processing of flat, angle and channel sections to defined lengths
- Reduced setup times through retrievable dimensions instead of manual marking out
Which businesses use it
Used by structural and metal fabricators and locksmith shops as well as in steel trading, where sections are processed to length with repeatable accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
What does the CNC length stop do?
It moves automatically to the specified processing length, so the workpiece only needs to be placed in position. Marking out and re-measuring each individual part is no longer required.
Is the stop suitable for series parts?
Yes. Because the length is stored in the control, every part is processed to the same dimension, which ensures dimensional accuracy for recurring quantities.
Which sections is the length stop intended for?
It is used for common structural steel sections such as flat, angle and channel steel, which are positioned to defined lengths before punching or shearing.
