MEGA Tech proud to present the Strippit PL combines high-accuracy punching with the speed and versatility of fiber laser cutting for complete part processing on one machine. The combination of technologies eliminates processes, reduces production time and material handling, providing high quality parts.
TECHNOLOGY PIONEER
Strippit introduced punch-laser technology to the industry in 1978 and has refined it for today’s manufacturing demands. Strippit PL is the next generation of combination machine – a punch, laser, form, bend and tapping center more flexible than ever because of technology advances.
VERSATILE PUNCH PRESS
Offered in single-head or thin- and thick-turret styles, 20- or 30-ton configurations, the Strippit PL provides a versatile mix of tool stations – fully indexable to enhance capacity and reduce set-up time.
EFFICIENT FIBER LASER
The solid-state fiber laser offers high cutting speed and high wall plug efficiency. It delivers maximum cutting performance and 99.9% reliability.
FULL SHEET PROCESSING
Cut and punch a full-size workpiece without the need to reposition.
EASY-TO-USE CONTROL
The latest LVD Touch interface is easy to operate for any level of user.
COMBINATION ADVANTAGES
Performing multiple processes on one machine with one worksheet clamping (no repositioning) means less set up time, fewer or no secondary operations and improved part quality, which results in shorter lead times and reduced operating costs.
PUNCHING PRODUCTIVITY
For batch runs and producing formed parts, the cost-per-part efficiency and productivity of the modern punch press can’t be matched.
ADVANCED PUNCHING, FORMING AND BENDING
The Strippit PX 1530-L can punch, form, bend and tap, forming flanges up to 3″ (75 mm) high, as well as countersinking, wheeling and scribing. This single-head punch press has 20 indexable tool stations and holds tools as large as 3.543″ (90 mm) in diameter.
SCRATCH-FREE PROCESSING
The retractable die used on the Strippit PX 1530-L ensures scratch-free punching and forming.
ALL-TOOL ROTATION
Set up and tool change time is minimized with the single-head punch press which features a circular tool magazine that allows every tool to rotate 360 degrees.
HIGH-TONNAGE CAPACITY
For high-production needs, the 48-station Strippit V 1530-L delivers 30 tons of punching force and features four large, programmable 3.5″ (88.9 mm) auto-index stations. The Strippit VT-L offers a thin turret configuration with 40 stations. Turret capacity can be further expanded with the use of indexable multi-tools.
DYNAMIC STABILITY
The machine’s X-axis moves across the frame while the Y-axis table moves along the length of the frame driven by two ball screws for dynamic stability. The rack and pinion drive system eliminates backlash and ensures accurate positioning.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT DESIGN
All Strippit PL models are equipped with an Energy Reduction System (ERS) to minimize power consumption.
