OverviewThe 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
