Cutting busbar fabrication machine HBC-B160

punchingbendingmobile

Overview
The HBC-B160 is a compact Type-B busbar machine that performs cutting, punching and bending of copper and aluminum busbars up to 160 × 15 mm. A single hydraulic power pack drives stations sequentially, offering a space- and cost-efficient solution for medium- to high-current distribution equipment. Available variants include ES (programmable stopper) and EH (manual stopper).

Key capabilities

• Processes copper and aluminum busbars up to 160 × 15 mm (width × thickness).
• Three functions: Cutting, Punching and Bending in sequential (one-station-at-a-time) operation.
• Single hydraulic power pack (Type-B) running stations sequentially to reduce purchase and running cost compared with simultaneous-drive models.
• Positioning accuracy ±0.1 mm with programmable stops (up to 20 positions) for repeatability.
• Siemens PLC & HMI and Industry 4.0 readiness for monitoring and automation integration.
• Hydraulic components: Duplomatic pumps and valves; dedicated hydraulic motor referenced in documentation.

Functional stations (hotspot items)

• Bender station — sequential bending of busbars up to 160 × 15 mm with repeatable angle control.
• Puncher station — sequential punching with interchangeable male/female punches; max die/hole Ø20 mm.
• Cutter station — precision cutting for clean edges and repeatable lengths.
• Digital controllers — separate controllers for bending and for puncher/cutter stations to program sequences and lengths.
• Hydraulic power pack — single unit supplies sequential power to all stations.

Design & operation notes

• Type-B single-power-pack design implements sequential operation; one operator can manage production, 1–2 operators typical for loading/unloading.
• Positioning systems: 3,600-pulse rotary encoder and a 5-micron linear scale for accurate, mark-free bending and punching in production runs.
• Wheel-mounted chassis for flexible workshop layout and repositioning.
• Industry 4.0 connectivity via Siemens PLC/HMI supports data logging and remote monitoring.

Variants and optional equipment

• HBC-B160-ES: ES variant with programmable length stopper (automatic stopper features).
• HBC-B160-EH: EH variant with manual stopper.
• Optional: laser centre finder, special punch shapes (oval/rectangular), stepped or special bending dies, programmable stopper upgrades.
