Off-line punching and coining machines for plastic cable ducts and trunkings

POVI 10000 and POVI 5000

The hydraulic cable duct punching machines POVI 10000 and POVI 5000 are the only plants in the world designed to reach process speeds of up to 12 m/min. with the highest quality standards.
They are designed and manufactured to produce PVC and PC/ABS electrical cable ducts and trunkings according to the standard punching patterns required by the market.

Advantages

Technical features

POVI 10000 and POVI 5000 are modular systems that can be customized according to the customer’s specific production needs. Baruffaldi Plastic Technology is the only partner capable of designing and manufacturing the most suitable plant to secure the maximum capital return on your investment.

POVI 10000 and POVI 5000 are off-line state-of-the-art high-productivity systems, designed to punch and coin cable ducts and trunkings on three sides.

It is possible to punch all sizes with the same plant: from the smallest one (15×15 mm) to the biggest one (100×150 mm). The punching process can also be combined with the so-called embossing process, which consists of making a “fingerprint” on the outer profile surface, facilitating manual removal of the pre-punched part during installation.

Coining is a special technology developed exclusively by Baruffaldi, that adds an important plus to the product, eliminating swarf and sharp edges caused by the punching process on the cable duct sidewalls.

Moreover, POVI 10000 and POVI 5000 are equipped with an innovative cable duct transport system inside the various units of the plant, which leaves no visible mark on the bottom of the duct.

The POVI 5000 has a lower cost, both in terms of investment and maintenance, but guarantees the same quality as the POVI 10000 thanks to the same technical characteristics of these off-line punching and coining machine.

The soundproof cabin guarantees low noise levels and a reduction of acoustic emissions for a safe and healthy working environment.

 

Other units in the Baruffaldi POVI systems

Feed-in table: IT/CD

Frame with motorized height adjustment, manageable by two buttons and numeric display, with conveyor belt feeding table for the manual operator loading of the cable ducts.
A special device inserts the ducts one by one in the punching machine and the profile presence sensors verify the alignment with the axis of the machine, to avoid jamming.

The feed-in table is also equipped with a special unit to heat ducts feet, in case of high product thickness or low ambient temperature, in order to avoid breaking them during the punching process. The temperature is set according to the thickness of the product to be processed and the ambient temperature.

Scoring unit: SML/2

Independent, stand-alone unit positioned at the exit of the punching machine and before the feed-out table, complete with motorized devices for the advancement of the duct at a constant speed and its expulsion on the feed-out table at the end of the process.

In the standard version, the unit makes two continuous incisions (score lines) on each internal sidewall, one at the base of the slots and the other at the base of the wall respectively to facilitate the breaking of the fingers and of the sidewall itself. Position and depth of the score lines are easily adjustable based on the size and thickness of the cable duct.

Printing unit

All POVI systems can include a cable duct printing system to print the necessary production data on the product. Depending on the customer’s request, we can therefore include an inkjet printer, a laser printer or any other marking device chosen by the customer (optional).

Independent unit for applying 1 or 2 strips (depending on the cable duct width) of double-sided tape on the outside of the cable duct bottom.

The unit is positioned between the score line unit and the brushing machine and is equipped with 2 indipendent drive groups and cutting device to ensure correct handling of the products.

The POVI systems guarantee a high-quality punching and coining process, that normally leaves no residual burrs. However, in some cases (particular materials, critical geometries and complex punching schemes), it may be necessary to brush the “critical” area of the product, that is the feet. For this purpose, we therefore designed ad hoc brushing machines, which have the same characteristics of versatility and flexibility as the other units of the plant. 

Our standard cable duct brushing machine consists of 2 heads, each equipped with 2 motorized brushes, with independent width, height, and inclination adjustment. The special carters positioned above the brushes can convey the dust to the suction device of the unit or the centralized suction system of the customer’s shop floor.

Feed-out table: TT

Solid and sturdy unit with adjustable feet, complete with extraction device and tilting supporting surface, pneumatically operated. The operator can easily pick up the cable ducts and place them in cardboard boxes or transfer them into containers. It is available in two standard lengths.

For customers who wish a different solution, we can also manufacture a horizontal out table with conveyor belts (size approx. 2 x 2.5 m) with a pneumatic device to release the punched and coined cable ducts on underlying belts.

Palletizers and stackers

An automatic unit with two octagonal axes deposits the cable ducts in an orderly manner on a pallet or inside special boxes. Customizable system based on customer needs.

Hydraulic in-line punching machines for cable ducts and trays

POVI 6000

These stand-alone and compact hydraulic punching machines are ideal for the in-line punching of “U”-shaped plastic profiles that need punching on all three sides, such as cable trunking, ducts for floor conditioning systems and single wall cable trays with a width of up to 600 mm and a thickness of up to 5 mm.

They are latest generation punching machines, designed and built to work at high speeds, up to 10 m/min., and extremely flexible and versatile according to the different and specific production requirements. The three punching heads are independent, i.e. they can work both together and individually. They can also be equipped with proportional valves, which allow you to control their movement precision, reduce mechanical stresses and guarantee a high-quality punching standard on all thicknesses.

The punching process can also be combined with the so-called embossing process, which consists of making a “fingerprint” on the outer profile surface, facilitating manual removal of the pre-punched part during installation.

The in-line punching machine is equipped with a carriage that slides on prismatic linear guides, on which the three punching heads with the relative cutting sets are assembled. The horizontal movement of the carriage is operated by a brushless motor with ball & screw, controlled by a PLC.

Hot Blade Punching Machine for PVC Profiles

HPM-10

Baruffaldi Plastic Technology designs and manufactures high-tech punching technologies since more than 50 years. Recently the team has developed the latest version of hot punching machine for profiles.

The system is innovative because it allows the punching of multiwalled profiles without the use of the die or limits on the shape  to be drilled, without the need to work with the interpolation of the machining axes. It therefore easily solves the punching of slots with complex geometries.

The hot punching system is not the only flagship of this machine. The plant can operate both off-line and on-line, placed after the cutter with a profile bar handling system.

The machine is highly versatile not only in its use within the production cycle, but also has two other pluses: the quick and easy format changeover to switch to different drilling patterns, and the total recycling of the punching scraps, evacuated automatically from the same punching set.

The whole process takes place with extreme silent operation and the end result gives a clean product, thanks to precise punching without dust release, combining product quality with the quality of the working environment.

The soundproof cabin guarantees low noise levels and reduction of acoustic emissions for a safe and healthy workplace.
