AIDA NC2-160-2 176 Ton Gap Frame Punch Press

176 ton, 7.8" Stroke, 80" x 30", AIDA NC2-160(2) 2 Point Gap Frame Punch Press. AIDA NC2 gap frame mechanical presses (also known as C frame mechanical presses) are available from 110 through 250 tons capacity. A compact rigid frame design minimizes the deflection rating and the low overall clearance minimizes reverse tonnage. The six-point slide guide system provides a long useful life. The wet-type clutch and brake provide higher intermittent rates and long life - important factors for hand-fed and top-stop applications. An AC Variable frequency drive allows for wider speed ranges. The Quill mounted flywheel results in a larger bearing surface. The front to back mounted forged steel crankshaft along with hardened and precision ground gears are well suited for high stress blanking applications. Micro-Inching provides die setting at very low speeds.
