Kaltenbach WBZ 1500

Kaltenbach WBZ 1500 Sheet metal working centre - CNC controlled flame drilling machine available as used machine at Nenok from Cologne, Germany

With the Kaltenbach sheet metal working centre the operator has a multifunctional plant for steel construction, steel trade and appliance construction. With this CNC controlled plant you achieve a high flexibility and economic efficiency for your sheet metal production.

With this used flat steel machining centre type WBZ 1500 a multitude of working steps can be carried out in one plant by one machine operator: Drilling, countersinking, threading and flame cutting of sheet metal, sheet metal strips, and flat steel. The production of head plates, foot plates and gusset plates becomes cost-effective and economical with this sheet metal processing center.

Mode of operation of the Kaltenbach WBZ 1500

First, the contour data is read into the CNC control manually or by transferring CAD data in DSTV format. The control takes the generated data and converts it into machine commands so that the positioning axes can move to the desired drilling or torch positions. Afterwards, the metal sheets or the flat steel are placed on the infeed roller conveyor in their initial length. The length measuring device consisting of a pushing and pulling gripper carriage with hydraulic collet then positions the workpiece (the plate) first for the drilling process and then under the torch unit to burn out the component in the desired shape. Afterwards, the almost finished components are usually deburred or marked by the machine operator directly next to the machine and made available for production.
