600-Metric-Ton Punch Press
ER Wagner’s new Nidec Minster punch press is now available for production, greatly increasing ER Wagner’s metal stamping capabilities. The new 600-metric-ton press is the latest technology in metal stamping, giving us the ability to stamp bigger parts made of thicker metal – including high-strength metals – with complex geometries and tighter tolerances. Other benefits include improved part quality through programmable forming speed, and lower part costs due to increased production rates, value added tapping, insertion and welding.Servo Press Features
- Bed Size: 60"-168"
- Speed Range: 1-90 SPM
- Direct Drive Servo Slide
- Stock Width: 14"-48"
- Stroke: 12"-16"
- Shut Height 35"
- Rapid Acceleration and Deceleration
- Infinitely Adjustable stroke and speed
- Full Energy at Any Speed
- Pendulum Motion and Full Rotation
Machine and Wrapped Tubes
When you need precision tubes think ER Wagner. Machined & wrapped tubes can be made in almost any configuration – square, round, octagon, punched, notched, welded, you name it we can do it. As an added bonus – wrapped tubing is often more cost effective than traditional drawn-over-mandrel tube manufacturing.
Shear & Machine Cut Tubes
Tube cutting capabilities range from high-speed scrap-less to precision machined cut-offs. Machine cut tubes include ID/OD chamfering and turning on both ends and also facing with surface finishes less than Rz 10. End facing can include custom end profiles.
Capabilities
- Parallelism 0.1mm
- Perpendicularity 0.15mm
- Flatness 0.1mm
- Length tolerance +/- .05mm
- Length range 10mm – 610mm
- OD range 6mm – 82.5mm
Precision Wrapped Bushings
Roundness and strength are the keys to performance when it comes bushings used in NVH body mounts tubes for axles suspensions and engine cradles as well motor and solenoid housings. Virtually gap-less seams that can be butted, welded or interlocking to rigidity. Our bushings can be flanged, edge treated and chamfered.
Capabilities
- 0.1mm roundness tolerance
- Up to 152mm long
- 102mm max OD
- Up to 4mm wall thickness
