Prima Power has been gathering experience in the development of turret punch presses since the early 1980s. Therefore, their knowledge helped them realize that even though modern machines are very different, the targets for the customer are generally speaking the same: ease of operation and higher productivity.
With this in mind, they wanted to fulfill these expectations with Punch Genius, a compact machine using a small footprint. Prima Power was, in fact, bold enough to name their machine series Genius, specifically based on real customer’s experiences and wishes. As a result, the machine offers significant advantages in productivity and operational convenience, and compatibility with several automation solutions.
Punch Genius turret punch is operated by a modern central control unit with a touch screen panel. As a result, the management of machine set-up and work queues is therefore made easy with the Tulus user interface. Furthermore, the NC Express CAM programming system and Tulus work perfectly combined, provide comprehensive reports on machine and production status, and be linked to the factory ERP system when required. Overall, special attention has been given to user ergonomics and user-friendliness of the control unit.
Modern turret punch press
A modern turret punch press uses numerically controlled, servo-electric axes, which as a result, offers increased energy efficiency, high operation speed in addition to low maintenance costs. Equally important, the cornerstones of the Punch Genius productivity include large tool capacity, a wide range of tools available, and easy, fast set-up change.
Furthermore, forming and other auxiliary work stages such as tapping and marking are other factors reducing the manufacturing cost per component.
As shown above, the Punch Genius turret punch press is, therefore, a productive and competitive manufacturing solution.
