Achieved as part of Tower Machine Tools Ltd ongoing commitment to our customers to provide the very best in CNC Turret Punch Presses, Press Brakes and Shears along with the highest quality Wiedemann tooling and service support.

Tower is pleased to announce the signing of a new UK EXCLUSIVE distributorship agreement for Farina and Italtec CNC Press Brakes, Shears & Plasmas.

"We are delighted to be able to add these quality machines to our existing portfolio of Muratec CNC Turret Punch Presses.  This enables us to provide a complete workshop package to our customers and offers more choice to the UK market"

The MAGNUM 5000 has returned to the UK sales market.
With it's 45 Ton capacity it will punch up to 10 mm sheet and can handle a sheet 1525 x 1830mm without reposition.  Previously popular because of it's large turret and tool size capacity, it will take up to a 140 x 5mm slitting tool.

The MAGNUM 5000 is Muratec's symbol of pioneering and long established technological excellence and high reliability in CNC turret punch press design and manufacturing.

High rigidity and precision of the machine are fully complemented by the proven Wiedemann style punching. Low cost tooling, easy-to-use conversational type programming control and such other unique and exceptional features have resulted in these machines becoming favourites of users world-wide meeting all their requirements.

The Motorum range has just got better for the UK market.

MOTORUM 2558:  25 TON 1525 x 2500 WITHOUT REPOSITION

Features:

• Up to 800 hits per minute
• 100 metres per minute linear table speed in the X axis
• 75 metres per minute linear table speed in the Y axis
• 40 rpm High speed turret
• 180 rpm high speed auto index with 76mm capacity
• Quick change punch & die holder system
• Programmable ram stroke for each tool
• Controllable ram speed to minimise impact and noise

AC MOTOR RAM DRIVE TECHNOLOGY

The MURATEC ram drive technology still incorporates a toggle mechanism driven by an AC servo motor.  This innovative technology has resulted in achieving higher productivity, an enviromentally friendly operation, and energy efficient production. A single rotation of the crank arm gives two punching strokes.

A small force is converted to a large force, reducing generation of heat by the motor.  The ram drive technology gives higher power at the ram than the motor gernerated power.

POSITIVE PUNCHING

The POSITIVE PUNCH-IN and PULL-OUT design of the ram, which is mechanically linked to the punch holder during the punching cycle, guarantees positive punching.  This design has already been field proven for it's high strength, precision and simplicity of tooling.

By combining this feature with the newly innovated servo driven ram, the reliability of the machine has been greatly enhanced.

ENERGY CONSERVATION AND LOW RUNNING COST

An environment-friendly eco-machine, the Motorum uses the energy it needs only at the time of punching, thanks to the servo motor drive mechanism.  By using regenerated energy generated at the time of braking, running costs are considerably reduced.

MOTORUM 2044EZ

Looking for a replacement C2500!!

The smaller end of the market is covered with the M2044EZ.  It is designed to meet the sheet metal challenges of today. The rugged design delivers 20 Tons of punching force, which is sufficient to process standard fabricating requirements of punching and forming.  The baby of the bunch has been successfully tested for a continuous 100,000 hits in 6mm thick material for full tonnage.

The updated control and new look "talkative" panel mean that the machine is easier to program manually, and with all the Motorum Servo Motor Ram technology it is faster still.

The turret design is likened to that of the popular Centrum C2500 with 18/22 station options.  With a 1250 x 1250 sheet capacity without reposition it will cope with all the jobs of the C2500 and fit in a smaller factory space than the larger 25/45 Ton machines.
