unless oil container Is full!
Disconnect from power supply
before proceeding with
maintenance (oil change,
replacing the tank heater)!

& These warning plates and other danger signs must be observed without
fail.

3.2.2 Instructing the personnel


Instructing the Only authorized, trained and suitably instructed personnel may be
personnel entrusted with the operation, maintenance and service of the machine.
This personnel must receive specialized instruction regarding possible
hazards. This applies in particular to electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic
installation work which may be undertaken only by trained personnel.

Reading the machine


The complete technical documentation on the machine should be made
documentation
available for study to all persons charged by the owner with the
operation, maintenance and service of the machine. It is recommended
that the owner obtain written confirmation from his staff that they have
studied and understood the documentation.
Areas of competence The areas of competence in the matter of maintenance, operation and
servicing must be clearly defined in order to avoid any ambiguity
concerning responsibility for the safety aspects of machine operation.

3.2.3 Necessary diligence and care in


operating the machine
Never operate the machine unless you are sure the appropriate safety
equipment for safeguarding the work area is functional.
Operation only in It is the responsibility of the owner, or of the parties entrusted by him, to
perfect condition ensure that the machine is run in perfect working order at all times.

The owner undertakes to ensure that the workplace at the machine is


maintained in a clean and orderly condition by issuing appropriate
instructions to this effect.

& The owner must, whenever necessary, require his employees to wear
protective clothing and hearing protection.

B119E1 Safety 1-5


The owner must ensure proper ventilation (fresh air) in the hall where the
machine is operated.

The owner undertakes to install the machine in compliance with the


installation plan and installation conditions.

It is also the operator's duty to assure that only authorized persons are
allowed to work at the machine.

danpA
Monitoring the Before powering the machine up, the operator must always assure
himself, with the help of the mirror on the light barrier pedestal, that all

& persons are clear of the danger area.

Reporting The operator shall inform the owner immediately of any changes
malfunctions and (including changes that interfere with the functional properties) at the
damages machine that detract from operating safety. The machine should be
visually inspected in every shift to detect defects and damage.

Inspecting and The owner or the operator is not permitted to dismantle or shut down any
servicing the safety safety equipment. If set-up, maintenance or service work makes it
equipment necessary to dismantle or shut down such safety equipment, it is
imperative that these safety devices be reassembled or reactivated
immediately upon completion of such work.

The function of the light barrier should be examined once per shift
(preferably at the start of production). Light barrier function should also be
checked if the light transmitter and light receiver are relocated, and after
any maintenance and service work on the light barrier.

Observance of The shutdown procedures described in the operating instructions must be


shutdown procedures observed before beginning any work involved with the transport,
installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and service of the

B119E1 Safety 1-7


3.3 Safety measures implemented by
the manufacturer
Light barrier The standard machine is equipped with a dual-beam light barrier for
safeguarding the danger zone. The owner is free to use his own
equipment to protect the danger area, in which case he assumes
responsibility for compliance with the safety regulations.

Machine protection by means of light barriers is effective in all operating


modes of the control.

If light barriers are used, interruption of the light path during operation will
cause all machine motion to be halted. This is equivalent to pressing the
FEED HOLD button.

Machine shutdown caused by an interruption of the light barrier is


cancelled by pressing the START key.
Before restarting the machine after light barrier interruption, the operator
must assure himself, with the help of the mirror on the light barrier
pedestal, that all persons are clear of the area safeguarded.

The operator must take additional steps to eliminate danger that may

1. Introduction
Mechanical cutting pro Punching and nibbling are mechanical cutting processes used in indu
cesses strial fabrication. With these processes, cutouts and contours of any
shape and size (within the working range of the machine) can be pro
duced in flat workpieces.

The workpiece is held by clamps and positioned under the tool by a


coordinate guide. A hydraulically driven punch, available in any shape,
cuts through the material with each stroke.

Tool set A set of tools for punching and nibbling consists of a punch, die and
stripper. The punch may be a single tool, or it may comprise several
separate (multiple) punches.

2. Mechanical cutting processes


2.1 Punching
Definition When punching, the cutter makes one single stroke. The cutout thus
produced corresponds exactly to the geometry of the punch. Elements
such as hole rows and grids, and bolt circles result if the workpiece is
shifted a given distance after each given stroke.

Punches with a bevelled The punches can be divided into two groups: punches with flat cutting
cutting face faces (normal punches) and those with a bevelled cutting face
("Whisper tools"). Such Whisper tools have two significant
advantages:

□ less punching force required for tools of comparable size


□ reduced noise emission when punching

2-2 Technology B119E2


Cutting tools with bevelled surfaces are longer than corresponding
tools with flat cutting faces; consequently, a greater depth of pene
tration is required when using these longer tools. Tools with bevelled
cutting surfaces are available as standard tools for diameters (round)
or lengths (square) of 10.5 mm or greater.

Such shear-cut tools may be used for nibbling materials with a tensile
strength of 400 N/mm2 up to a sheet thickness of 3 mm, and with a
tensile strength of 800 N/mm2 up to a sheet thickness of 2 mm.

Accuracy and shear-cut


The following steps are recommended in order to attain the highest
tools
accuracy when using shear-cut tools:

□ Insert the tool with symmetrical axis in Y direction


□ When nibbling, the shear tip must have contact with material

y
..

Nibbling with shear-cut tools Fig. 10064

Reducing the necessary


The punching force required depends on the tensile strength of the
punching force
material and on its thickness. The amount of punching force needed
can be reduced by following the suggestions given below:

□ use tools with bevelled cutting face (see above)


□ prepunch and finish-punch
A smaller punch initially prepunches the hole, after which the tool
of the required size is used to finish punching. This method
allows holes to be cut for which the existing punching force would
otherwise be inadequate. Because of this prepunched hole,
material flow is not impeded at the finish punching stage, thus
reducing cutting resistance.
B119E2 Technology 2-3
2.2 Nibbling
Definition
In the nibbling process, the workpiece is advanced step by step in the
desired feed direction while the punch constantly moves up and down
(continuous stroke sequence). A unique feed control assures that the
workpiece comes to a stop shortly before the punch dips into the
material.
The next feed step commences as soon as the punch is again above
the workpiece surface. Through continuous repetition of this process -
feed release, feed interruption, coupled with constant stroke
movement of the tool - the cutting of the desired workpiece shape is
divided into a score of small individual cuts.
The size of the individual feed increments is determined primarily by
the following factors:

□ type and size of tool in use


□ required quality or roughness tolerance of nibbled edge

Please refer to the programming instructions for specifications on the


roughness tolerance of the workpiece edge when nibbling.

Nibbling speeds The maximum feed step depends on the feed release, and con
sequently the sheet thickness, as well as on the stroke rate of the ma
chine. The speeds possible when nibbling can be derived from the for
mula given below:

a Feed step [mm] a·n


n Stroke rate of ram v = -- [m/min]
per minute 1000

The fact that the cutting process is divided into partial cuts in rapid
succession, using a simple tool, makes nibbling particularly suitable
for the following tasks:

Nibbling application □ Fabrication of cutouts and contours of any size and shape which,
due to the punching capacity of the machine, cannot be made in
one single downstroke of the ram.

□ Production of cutouts that are irregular in shape and for which a


special tool capable of making the cutouts in one downstroke of
the ram would be too time-consuming or too costly.

2-4 Technology B119E2


Nibbling tools Generally speaking, the punching tools of the TRUMATIC can also be
used for nibbling. It is best, however, to use tools measuring between
4 and 30 mm in diameter or length.

Special nibbling tools are available primarily for use in nibbling operat
ions, especially when working with materials that are thicker or of
higher tensile strength. These tools, because of their special
construction and the tool steel used, have a considerably longer tool
life. We strongly recommend the use of these tools. Please refer to
the TRUMPF catalog on "Punching and Nibbling Tools" for further
details.

The tool requirement for one workpiece can often be reduced because
cutouts which are supposed to be punched can also be nibbled.
Besides savings in tool costs, another benefit lies in reduced
production times.

These tables of maximum capacities specify the maximum dimensions
permitted for round and square tools with and without a bevelled
cutting face, classified into four tensile strengths, and for varying sheet
thicknesses. If the values for sheet thickness and tensile strength lie
between the ones specified, the next lower value in the table should
be applied. Alternatively, the tool dimensions can be calculated
according to the formulas below:

4.2 Influencing factors
These tables are valid for metallic materials. Especially when
punching non-ferrous materials, heavy strain-hardening may result
and thus require a higher cutting force.

The values given in the table of maximum capacities are standard va


lues which may be affected by the following factors:

□ According to DIN 1541/1543, the sheet thickness may include a


maximum tolerance of +18 %.
□ The tensile strength can reach +12.5 % according to DIN 1623.
□ The necessary punching force is increased by about 4% if the air
gap between punch and die is reduced from 10% to 5% of the
sheet thickness.
□ Lubrication of the workpiece reduces the friction force.
□ The shear factor is based on theoretical calculations and is also
affected by the workpiece properties.
□ The sharpness of the punch
□ Damage and breakage at the cutting edge of the punch

In practice, this means that if all adverse factors are multiplied with
each other, only about 70% of the specified values can actually be
utilized if one wants to make sure that the punch cuts through material
properly.

5.1.3 Feed per stroke with slitting
tools, oblong tools or tools with
corner radius
The minimum and maximum feed steps allowed with these tools can
be calculated as follows:

L Length of punch [mm]


R Radius of punch [mm]

The entire width of the punch must always have contact with the
material.
For cutting strips, a minimum width of about 10 mm is recom
mended.
If the border is less than 10 mm wide, the strip of material may
become warped, subjecting the tool to shearing forces and thus
reducing tool life.

5.1.4 Punch dimensions recommended for


nibbling

6. Slotting tool (Option)
General notes
Slotting is a double-edged shearing process where a continuous ste
pless cut of a given length is achieved. Owing to the tool design, the
resulting chip is not cut off during while slotting. The tool penetrates
the material on the first stroke. Due to the curved form of the cutting
edge, the chip rolls into a spiral on the subsequent strokes. The
maximum spiral diameter, dependent on the sheet thickness, determi
nes the maximum cutting length. At the end of the cut, a deep down
stroke released with M822 cuts the chip off.
The tool set consists of a punch, the cutting edge of which has a
curved polyurethane stripper, and a special die with a groove.

B119E2 Technology 2-21


The machine design is such that the workpiece moves while the tool
remains stationary.

The programmer, however, must base the program on the premise of


a stationary workpiece and a moving tool; therefore, he programs the
path "traced by the tool on the workpiece".

This means that, for the correlation between tool/workpiece movement


and the movement of the coordinate guide:

□ the coordinate guide (K) moves in +XK direction (towards the


right as viewed from the front of the machine) if the tool (W)
describes the path marked +Xw relative to the workpiece (Fig.
3679)

□ the coordinate guide (K) moves in +YK direction (towards the


rear as viewed from the front of the machine) if the tool (W)
describes the path marked +Yw relative to the workpiece (Fig.
3679)

The X and Y coordinates may be programmed in either metric (G71)


or inch (G70) mode.

8.2 Dead area of standard workpiece clamps
Owing to the geometric dimensions of the tool adapter and workpiece
clamps, machining is impossible in the area directly adjoining the
clamps. This so-called "dead area" must be factored in when pro
gramming to ensure that all machining operations take place outside
of it.

Make sure that the clamp dead area is not violated when approaching
a position in its immediate vicinity.

A clamp dead area of 85 mm in Y axis is effective for standard


clamps when positioning with the clamps open, e.g. when repositio
ning.
Please refer to Chapter 9 "Multitools" in the programming manual for
details.

B119E2 Technology 2-27


Retractable clamps Option "Retractable Clamps" enables machining unimpeded by dead
areas. For this purpose, the dead area cam must be active and at
least 3 clamps must hold the workpiece. If this cam is not active, a
dead area of
□ X axis: 226 mm
□ Y axis: 77 mm
around the respective clamp must be taken into account.

A repositioning position 88 mm in Y must be selected for retractable


clamps with inactive dead area cam. In the case of retractable clamps
with the dead area cam active, repositioning is possible in any Y
position -7 mm.

1.1 Ambient conditions


Ambient temperature
An ambient temperature between +10 °C and +40 °C is recommended
for machine operation. The temperature must not be allowed to drop
below +4 "C when the machine is off.

Control cooling
The control is cooled by means of internal ventilation in the housing.
The components are thus well protected against dust and dirt.
The heat from the control housings is normally dissipated by means of
external heat exchangers with fans drawing in the air and blowing it
along the cooling fins. Care must be taken to avoid excessive air
contamination in the intake range of the fans behind the control cabi
net since dust on the cooling fins reduces the cooling effect.

Humid rooms are not suitable for the operation of control systems
since moisture in the air can cause contacts to corrode, resulting in
control errors.

Cooling the operating The operating panel is cooled with the help of two fans. Filter mats
panel prevent dirt particles from getting into the operating panel.

Tropical version The standard version of the machine is designed for ambient
temperatures up to 40 °C. For temperatures up to 45 °C, an external
chiller unit must be connected for the hydraulics.

3.6 Installation Site - Version 12 B119E3


2. Power supply
The equipment is wired for the following rated voltages:

460 V +10 %/-5 % 60 Hz±1 %

Install an isolating transformer if the rated voltage varies from 400 V or


460 V respectively. 1
Power supply to the system requires a four-pole connection with
copper cables (L1, L2, L3 in the right rotary field; PE).
The mains supply on the control cabinet of the machine is done as
shown in the layout.

Specification: Specification: Execution as per Execution as per


Execution as per four-pole VOE 0100 VOE 0100
DIN EN 60204-1/ copper cable Part 430 Part 540
(L1, L2, L3, PE) (IEC 364-4-47) (IEC 364-5-54)

2.1 Electric Network


The machine may not be connected to a network shared by welding
machines (temporary voltage peaks). Relief can be provided in such
cases, and also if the network is heavily loaded, by means of a direct
line straight from the interconnecting station.

Fault current circuit


Use type B only when fault current circuit breakers are required on the
breakers
network side for protection in the case of direct or indirect contact.
See EN 50178 Pt. 5.2.11.2 (VOE 0160, April 1998 edition)
If the machine's leakage current is larger than the set fault current,
when using a fault current circuit breaker, install an isolating
transformer to separate the machine from the mains. See EN 50178
Pt. 5.2.11.1 (VOE 0160)
Network types IT or TT or unsymmetrical networks (one phase grounded) require
connecting the machine via an isolating transformer.

1 If the rated voltage is 380 V or 415 Vat 50 Hz, determine the network tolerance. If the tolerance is between 360 V and 440
V, an isolating transformer is not required.

TRUMPF provides the following interface in the machine's control
cabinet:
Interface for telephone connection (tele-diagnostics) via an analog
modem: RJ11 plug with telephone adapter for customary telephone
socket (e.g. in Germany: TAE6-N-coupling).

The customer must arrange for the following tasks to be carried out:
Installation of a telephone socket for an analog modem on the
machine's control cabinet by the relevant telephone company. A
digital connection must be converted into an analog connection by
means of a converter.
The modem must be accessible with a direct-dialling number.
Otherwise you will need a separate line.

2.4 Network Connection


For the network (programming system), TRUMPF provides the
following interfaces in the machine's control cabinet:
RJ 45 plug for customers with Shielded-Twisted Pair network wiring.

If several machines are connected to the network, this requires a


personal hub (network distributor). This is in the machine's control
cabinet and must be equipped with alternating voltage by the
customer, as the distributor must also function when the machine is
switched off. Voltage supply must be carried out as described below:

B119E3 Power Supply - Version 12 [I] 3-9


TRUMPF

• Voltage supply (except for USA and Canada): 230 V with earthed
socked or in accordance with the country's norm. Earthed coupling
is supplied with the machine.
• Voltage supply in the USA and Canada: 115 V with socket in
accordance with US norm.

Concerning the rated voltage and frequency, the tolerances as

3.4 Components of a tool set
3.4.1 Alignment ring
Function
The alignment ring is a clamping ring which can be rotated on the punch
and clamped in any desired position. The alignment ring serves to align
the punch in the cartridge. The key in the alignment ring centers the
punch relative to the die when the punch is inserted in the punch adapter.

Application
Standard dies of size II may be used with punching forces up to 180 kN.
Dies of size I may be subjected to loads of max. 250 kN.

Size II dies of the reinforced version must be used if:


□ the punching tonnage exceeds 180 kN or
□ the stability of the standard die is not adequate on account of the
unfavorable hole geometry (e. g. oblong hole 5 x 70 mm) even
though the punching tonnage is less than 180 kN

The maximum admissible punching tonnage for size II


reinforced dies is 250 kN.

B119E4 Description 4-17


Selecting a suitable die

I ii,- i * - !) I Choice of a suitable die is also influenced by the material thickness being
worked. Thicker sheets require a larger air gap between punch and die.
The outside diameter of the die (DMat> is derived by adding:
□ the outside diameter of punch (Dst> and
□ the product of the empirically obtained value of 0.2 and the sheet
thickness (s)

3.4.3 Strippers
The stripper can assume two functions:

Stripper function The stripper prevents the sheet from being pulled up with the upstroke of
the punch, especially in thin sheets. It strips the sheet from the punch.

In this function, the stripper assumes a position about 0.5 mm


above the sheet surface during machining.

Presser foot function The stripper comes to rest on the sheet with the punch stroke, thereby
pressing the sheet onto the die beneath it. This improves the positional
accuracy of the holes and the cutting quality.
The stripper assumes this presser foot function during repositioning as
well.

4.18 Description B119E4


Stripper selection
The necessary stripper size is dependent on:
□ the programmed sheet thickness
□ the outside diameter of the punch
□ the regrind length of the punch

The following criteria are applicable for the stripper when using specially
shaped punches:
□ For special punches with an outside diameter < 10.5 mm, choose a
stripper from the line "Punch 10.51-30.0".
□ For special punches with an outside diameter > 10.5 mm, choose a
stripper in accordance with the outside diameter of the punch.

Damage to the stripper adapter may result if the stripper

5.2 Function
The function of the retractable clamps is illustrated below; 3 machine
states are distinguished:

3 machine states □ While machining


□ During tool change
□ While loading and unloading

• A dead strip 77 mm wide results in sheets 400 < X < 800 mm (clamps closed, dead area cam not active).

5.2.2 During tool change
Lowering the dead
To effect a tool change, the transverse rail, carrying the new tool, travels
area cam
forward (-Y direction). The dead area cam is then lowered, so that the
tools can be changed. This up-and-down travel of the dead area cam is
monitored by proximity switches and separate overload protection.

5.2.3 While loading and

unloading Manual loading and

unloading
Opening the clamps For workpiece loading and unloading, each clamp is opened by
pneumatic actuation of the roller tappet valve.

□ For loading, all clamps open simultaneously or in pairs


□ For unloading, all clamps can be opened simultaneously, or clamps
1, 2 or 3, 4 or 5, 6 can be opened in pairs.

Opening in pairs Opening clamps in pairs allows the sheet to be machined a section at a
time. A finished sheet section can then be cut out and unloaded while the
remaining clamps continue to hold the rest of the sheet. Machining of the
remainder sheet can then be resumed without losing the exact position.

Loading positions (recommendations) Fig. 9512

In contrast to the other formats, the above loading position with clamps 2,
3 and 4 is recommended for sheets 1000 mm long (TC S00R-1300 and
TC S00R-1600).

Pushout of parts
Unlike standard clamps, the positions of the retractable clamps do not
have to be factored in when programming parts to be pushed out.

B119E4 Description 4-27


5.2.4 Loading/Unloading with
TRUMALIFT SheetMaster 1300/1600
If a TRUMALIFT SheetMaster is installed, clamps 1, 2 and 5 are fitted
with sensors. The sensor zero stop serves as the locator in X axis. The
clamps close if at least 2 sensors signal contact with the sheet.

The TRUMALIFT SheetMaster always aligns the sheets - regardless of


size - flush right (see diagrams below). The resulting scrap skeleton can
then be retrieved by the TRUMAGRIP 500 grippers.

6. Machining with scratch minimization
Cause of scratching
During machining, scratches can result on the surface and underside of
the workpiece when machine components rub against the material. A
critical point here is the die: Microscopic burrs, a potential source of
scratches, can form on the surface of the die.
Measures Various standard measures have already been implemented on the TC
500R to reduce scratching:
Standard □ Installation of brush panels in the area of the die adapter.
□ All support surfaces are fitted with rollers on which the workpiece
travels, with virtually no scratching, when positioning.
Option □ As an option, half the rollers can be replaced with brushes, which
further minimize scratching.
□ A pressure reducing valve can be used to decrease the pressure
exerted by the presser foot when the latter is active. This eliminates
any impressions that may otherwise result on the work surface.

Ball rollers 3 Die
2 Brush panels
Principle Fig. 9757

B119E4 Description 4-29


Principle
The brush panels in the area of the die adapter are 1 mm higher than the
surface of the die. When the transverse rail moves, the workpiece glides
over the brushes and does not graze the die.

To reduce scratching even further, dies with additional brush inserts are
also available.
Die with brush insert

4-30 Description B119E4


The brushes also project about 1 mm above the die surface and bolster
the scratch reduction effect described above. Moreover, the die has a
finely polished surface. Different versions of dies and intermediate rings
with brush inserts are available from TRUMPF.

What the user can do


Besides the measures implemented on the machine, the user can also
take steps to reduce scratching:
□ Use extremely even sheets (Euronorm)
□ Clean the following daily: Table surfaces, brushes, brush panels
(especially after working sheets with scales) and support points on
the machine, as well as strippers, intermediate rings and dies
□ Whenever necessary, replace or adjust brushes and brush panels
□ Avoid upward arching of the sheet during machining (see Technical
Information: Evenness of Sheets)
□ For tool size I, use intermediate rings that are either polished or fitted
with brushes (available from TRUMPF)
□ Provide for ample tool lubrication
□ Grind off 0.03-0.05 mm from dies of size I or subtract this amount
from the shims in the intermediate ring, so that the die is seated lower
in the intermediate ring
□ Polish the top of the dies or intermediate rings and underside of
strippers (min. grain size P360)
□ Keep tools sharp at all times
□ If necessary, brush oil on the underside of the sheet
□ Position the stripper about 1 mm higher with function M282
□ Use the multiset to establish correct alignment between punch and
die (to prevent burring)

B119E4 Description 4-31


7. Sensor stop pin
The machine is equipped with a sensor stop if a TRUMALIFT
SheetMaster 1300 / 1600 for automated loading and unloading is
installed.

During manual loading on standard machines, the sheet is aligned


against the stop pin. If a SheetMaster is present, this stop pin is replaced
by a swivel sensor zero stop attached to the punching head. When a
sheet is loaded, either manually or via SheetMaster, this stop swings
downward.
Sensor clamps In addition to this, 2 or 3 clamps are fitted with sensors which must
respond together with the sensor zero stop before the clamps will close.
The sensor stop subsequently swings back into its UP position (see
"Workpiece Clamping").

Part 2: Examples of operation

Safety practices

The operator should immediately press the FEED HOLD button if a


malfunction occurs while the machine is running.

If the fault cannot be rectified from the operator's panel, press impact
switch EMERGENCY STOP before any intervention at the machine itself.

Only then is the service personnel sufficiently safeguarded.

If maintenance or service is required, and not just the simple elimination


of temporary faults, be sure to turn off the main power switch to shut the
machine down.

If home position is approached when working with formed sheets (sheet


type 1), an adequate overtravel height must be assured if collisions are to
be avoided.

Due to the tool change sequence in sheet type 1, no formings may be


present within an area of 96 mm from the stop edges of the clamps.
&
The safety guidelines provided in the Operator's Manual
must be strictly observed!

Only trained personnel may be entrusted with the operation of


the machine!

8. Tools and tool tables

8.1 Creating tool tables and loading tools


into the linear magazine
The tool table tells the control at which magazine station the clamps and
tools are located; it also provides such information as the tool shape,
regrind length and whether it is a Whispertool or not.

You wish to create a tool table e.g. of the following type:


One tool (square 20; regrind length: 2.0) is to be loaded into the tool
magazine and two clamps (stations 2 and 10) will be set. The clamps do
not need to be set if Option "Retractable Clamps" is installed.

In forming, a "negative regrind length" can be programmed - to


compensate the deflection of the machine frame.
