Strippit/Lvd Introduces New Verona Series Full-Featured CNC Turret Punch Presses



Akron, NY-Strippit/LVD introduces the Verona Series of CNC turret punch presses offered in 20 and 30 metric ton models. Verona turret punch presses are robust, full-featured machines designed for high production demands. These Thick turret tooling style punch presses offer a large turret capacity with a versatile mix of stations and the largest feed clearance in the industry. Powerful control capabilities and programmable features make Verona punch presses easy to set-up and operate.

Engineered for high productivity and long life, Verona punches materials up to .250" (6,4 mm) with a maximum hit rate of 1000 HPM at 0.04" (1 mm) pitch. A state-of-the-art positioning system combines heavy sheet carrying capacity with accurate motion control to produce a finished part accuracy of ± .004" (0,10 mm) with a repeatability of ± .002" (0,05 mm) over the entire table. Bridge frame construction provides accuracy and durability.

Strippit/LVD's latest punch presses handle workpieces up to 60" x 98.4" (1524 x 2500 mm) depending on model. Larger workpieces are handled with clamp repositioning. Smart Clamp(TM), a standard feature, automatically determines exact clamp locations to provide the smallest possible no-punch zone.

Advanced Hydraulic Ram Technology
An advanced servo hydraulic press drive and easy-to-use interactive software optimize Verona's high-speed operation while reducing noise and shock. Fully programmable stroke profiles and patented Smart Stroke® feature maximize punching performance and provide flexibility for punching and forming applications. Smart Stroke® automatically optimizes the punch cycle by determining the hover height based on material thickness and distance between holes, maximizing productivity without operator or programmer intervention.

Up to 48-station Turret Capacity
Verona's large and versatile double-track turret provides flexibility and easy set-up. Every station accepts shaped punches and dies, reducing set-up time. A unique mix of turret stations provides exceptional capacity. Verona 20-ton models offer a 34-station configuration with four 3.5" (88,9 mm) auto-index stations. The 30-ton machines offer 48 stations with three 3.5" (88,9 mm) auto-index stations and one fixed 3.5" (88,9 mm) station or 4.5" (114,30 mm) station. The 4.5" (114,30 mm) station is ideal for producing large louvers, special forms or using full-size parting tools.
Turret capacity can be increased with the addition of indexable Multi-Tools to expand the number of auto-indexable tools.

Feed Clearance of 1" (25 mm)
Verona also provides enhanced forming capabilities with a full 1" (25 mm) feed clearance between the upper and lower turret. This generous feed clearance allows for the production of higher forms such as lances, louvers, embossments or card guides.
The punch press accommodates the latest in tooling technology for high-performance fabricating. These capabilities further reduce set-up time, enhance productivity and promote long life with minimal maintenance costs. Wheel tooling, including rollcut and rollform capabilities, permits quick and efficient cutting and/or forming of straight or curves shapes without nibbling. Verona machines also employ part marking technology for part number or sheet marking requirements and can utilize tapping tools.

Powerful PC-Based Control
Verona is equipped with a state-of-the-art, PC-based GE Fanuc 180i control that speeds set-up and delivers powerful features such as diagnostics, increased program storage capacity and networking.

Optional CADMAN® programming software provides full support for all standard and advanced punching functions, including Auto-Index stations, Multi-Tools, standard and special punches, forming, embossing, tapping, stamping and wheel-style tools.
Robotic Pick-Sort Material Handling System

Material/part handling can be automated with the addition of an automatic sheet loading/unloading system and parts sorting device. Strippit/LVD's automatic load/unload system reduces manual worksheet handling and provides fast, efficient processing of materials up to .135" (3,5 mm).

Verona may be integrated with a robotic Pick-Sort material handling system. The robotic system loads full size sheets and automatically retrieves and stacks individual punched parts with dimensions up to 39" x 78" (1000 x 2000 mm). The Pick-Sort system converts the Verona into a freestanding, lights-out production cell.

Strippit/LVD is a leading manufacturer of a comprehensive range of sheet metal/plate working machine tools and software solutions, including laser cutting systems, punch presses, press brakes, guillotine shears and automated flexible manufacturing systems, integrated and supported by its CADMAN® PC-based Windows® compatible software.
