Examples of production lines
Figure 4.7.30shows a CNC-controlled hydraulic fine blanking press with
a total press force of 4,000 kN. Its maximum part-dependent stroking
rate is 50/min.
Figure 4.7.31 illustrates an automatic production line for the manufacture
of synchronous tapered plates in three stages. The nerve center
of the line, which produces some 4,500 parts per shift, is a CNC-controlled
hydraulic fine blanking press with a total force of 14,000 kN.
The complete line can be operated by a single person.
The blanks produced on a blanking press are stacked on pallets and
then deposited on the height-adjustable pallet platform. From here, the
