Whether in medical technology, the automotive field, electrical engineering, electronics or rack and storage technology, the need is not simply for sheet metal parts to be punched as accurately as possible, but production sequences should also be effective and time-saving. The manufacturers of punching installations are responding with appropriate machines and numerous developments, which are being presented at the Euroblech show in Hanover, Germany, on 21-25 October.
Installation constructor Andritz Kaiser has already been an exhibitor at the Euroblech for decades, and the firm is once again on hand with customer-specific applications. Wolfgang Wiedenmann, deputy sales manager and responsible for marketing and publicity, previewed the show: “The central point will be the presentation of our latest generation of automatic punching/forming machines. We will be showing a servo-press with 2000 kN pressing force in the proven solid casting version. The highlight of our presentation will be our new, modified plunger guidance system for automatic punching machines, developed specially for applications subjected by the tool to high non-centred forces.”

The only way to find out for sure, as you’ll already have deduced, is to send the entire Pixhawk/servo/battery rig aloft. Naturally, we have a cunning plan to do just that, and we’ll bring you details tomorrow. ®
Haulick+Roos GmbH has been represented in Hanover for more than 20 years, and it is exhibiting again this year. The company offers mechanically-driven precision automatic punching and forming machines with cycle rates of up to 400 cycles per minute, and precision high-performance automatic punching machines with cycle rates of over 1000 cycles per minute, each with its own peripheral equipment. “We are presenting innovations in the area of servo technology and further developments of an existing press series,” said Markus Roos, an executive partner at the firm. “The highlight will be the presentation of the further developments in our innovative ROP series for the higher pressing force range and of further optimisations of customer-utility due to our innovative servo-drives.”
“Servo wiggle” is an ArduPilot AUTO mode command “that is used to wait for LOHAN to ascend to the needed (ie launch) altitude, wiggling servos on the way”, as Pixhawk brain surgeon Andrew Tridgell put it.
