A punching press designed for work requiring a long stroke and an unusual height between the bed and the ram is shown in the accompanying illustration. This machine is built by the Ferracute Machine Co., Bridgeton, N. J., and is equipped with a bed that is adjustable vertically. As the bed and frame are separate castings, it is essential that their connection be strong and rigid, and this condition is obtained by attaching the bed to the frame by heavy steel bolts, and supporting the bed on a steel adjusting screw 4 inches in diameter.
A projection at the back of the bed fits a planed vertical guide in the frame, and keeps the top of the bed parallel with the bottom surface of the ram at all times. The press may also be used for horning operations by inserting a horn in a 9 ¥>inch hole in. the frame. The bed is hinged on a vertical rod at the left-hand side of the machine which enables it to be swung out of the way when the machine is used for horning. The ram has a maximum adjustment of 3 inches, and the bed 9 inches. The distance between the bed and the ram, when the former is adjusted to its lower position and the ram is at the top of its stroke and its highest adjustment, is 30 inches. The ram stroke is 8 inches. The press exerts a pressure of 70 tons, and weighs approximately 13,200 pounds. |
