Features

Reduces Operator Interface, Increases Efficiency
ASC’s high-efficiency Flange Line features an exclusive self-centering entry guide feed system that reduces operator interface during material set-up and ensures centerline positioning. A pop-up weld station provides a means for quick and easy material splicing.

The servo-driven non-slip feed assembly provides precise length accuracy and sheet positioning. The shuttle die set allows the operator to make quick changeovers from punching to shearing, and provides infinitely variable punch positioning.

Hydraulic Operation For More Consistent Performance and Longer Equipment Life
The ASC Flange Line’s hydraulic system ensures constant press tonnage throughout the full range of stroke. Additionally, it provides the added benefit of low impact punching and shearing to ensure longer equipment life. The low pressure hydraulics system reduces shock and equipment maintenance and provides system overload protection.

An innovative floating exit pinch roll adds versatility to the system allowing for short part length capability.

Single Operator System Reduces Overhead, Simplifies Process
The Flange Line can be operated by a single person, due to ASC’s exclusive CNC-500 control system. The closed loop control system enables the operator to handle upload/download functions, batching, part marking and label printing, all from a single control panel.

Advanced Rack and Pinion Die Set
The innovative rack and pinion die set squaring assembly provides positive die set alignment to accommodate off-centerline punching and shearing. Nitrogen stripping cylinders provide a greater stripping force at the point of actuation.

The press is outfitted with quick die blocks to facilitate rapid pattern changeover of punch sizes.
