ProNest Combination Punch

The ProNest Combination Punch module provides the advanced features required to effectively run Punch/Plasma and Punch/Laser combo machines. These features include: automatic tool recognition, automatic and manual clamp positioning, reposition management, automatic trap/drop door utilization including “slide moves”, manual and automatic splitting of long profiles, part processing options including part-by-part and first part inspection as well as support for plate and part loading and unloading systems. The post also features a visual interface with “play-back” for tool path verification, automatic error check for over-tonnage and tool diameter problems and a tooling report for the operator that shows tool loading information, suggested die sizes and production time estimates.
