Punching without limits

 The work sequences for modern punching machines are highly sophisticated nowadays: fast, process-dependable and often automated. But there are a few exceptions. The sheet skeleton, for example, is a risk for process reliability because parts can get caught on it.
 At the MTA Malaysia 2011 and Metaltech Malaysia 2011, TRUMPF has launched the TruPunch 3000(S11) machine in South East Asia, which offers an alternative: Skeleton-free processing.
 The resource-efficient universal machine works without producing a scrap skeleton, saving on an average 15% on parts cost. With its intelligent handling of small parts, sheets up to 6.4mm thick can be processed virtually scratch-free.

 Malaysia's M&E industry
 Malaysia is a leading manufacturer of automation machinery and equipment (M&E) industry in the ASEAN region. Major companies in operation are capable of producing advanced handling systems with full automation and incorporating intelligent robot. The machinery and equipment industry is of strategic importance to the overall industrial development of the country, due to its cross cutting linkages with all industrial sectors.
 To date, the country's M&E industry had 12 manufacturing projects approved with investments amounting to RM69.2 million (US$22.9 million) during January-March 2011, according to BERNAMA.
 Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Jacob Dungau Sagan said that the total RM14.2 million (US$4.7 million) were from foreign investors, while RM55 million (US18.5 million) came from local players. "This reflects the continued confidence by foreign investors over the long-term potential growth of the industry," he said during the opening of MTA Malaysia 2011 and Metaltech Malaysia 2011 exhibitions.
 TRUMPF's introduction of its TruPunch 3000(S11) machine in Malaysia shows that foreign investors are confident in investing machinery in the country.
 During the same period, Jacob said exports of M&E products rose 8.2 percent to RM3.4 billion. He also said the M&E industry was a cross-cutting link sector for high technology industries, thus the emphasis for growth was on high value added and high technology M&E to provide support and services for the sectors identified under the National Key Economic Activities (NKEAs).
 "This intends to shift our reliance from semi-skilled and low cost labour to one that hinges on advanced manufacturing, high technology and a modern services sector and also employing highly skilled talent," he added.

 Goodbye to sheet skeletons
 The basis of TRUMPF's new development is powerful software with all the right nesting algorithms, combined with the option of rotating parts and leftover pieces with innovative tool technology. The result increases reliability in several areas. For example, parts no longer get stuck in the sheet skeleton; the operator no longer has to remove the leftover material from the machine table; and sorting is improved due to a turnout underneath the parts chute that automatically separates the finished parts from the scrap. Costs are reduced by about 10 percent because less material is required due to the number of shared split cuts.
 Since the punching head is not in continuous use in the midsized TruPunch 3000, another innovative feature has been added to the machine: an electric punching head. It's not only quiet, but - in contrast to the hydraulic version - it uses very little power in standby mode. And, on top of that, it is more productive. Thanks to its high rotation speed, the electric punching head is very fast when it comes to rotating tools or forming threads. And because the punching hydraulic is no longer necessary, the footprint of the TruPunch 3000 isbalerínky
