Bending busbar fabrication machine HBC-A160

punchingcuttingmobile

Overview
The HBC-A160 is a 3-in-1 busbar processing machine performing cutting, punching and bending of copper and aluminium busbars up to 160 × 15 mm in a single compact unit. It is designed for switchgear assemblers, panel builders and distribution-board manufacturers to enable parallel operation across three independent stations and up to three operators.

Main features

• Three functions in one machine: Cutting + Punching + Bending
• Handles copper and aluminium busbars up to 160 × 15 mm (width × thickness)
• Three independent hydraulic power packs (total 7 kW) operating at 230 bar
• Allows three simultaneous operators to run the three stations in parallel
• Programmable automatic stopper with hole-spacing accuracy to ±0.1 mm
• Punch hole diameter range: Ø4.5–20 mm (max die Ø20 mm)
• Spring-back compensation and digital angle indication on the bender for first-time-right bends
• Siemens PLC control with dual HMI stations; manual and automatic modes with position save/recall
• Industry 4.0 ready — cycle data can integrate with real-time shop reporting and traceability
• Mobile on wheel base for repositioning

Stations & controls

• Bender station with digital controller and digital angle indication
• Puncher station with digital controller for punch operations
• Cutter station with digital controller for cutting operations
• Three hydraulic power packs supplying each station independently

Operational benefits

• Parallel workflow: bending, punching and cutting can run simultaneously to eliminate station bottlenecks
• Reduces rework via precise positioning, spring-back compensation and digital angle readout
• Compact footprint delivers equivalent throughput of a three-station line without additional floor space
