BS Sas, Italy, is the manufacturer of
punching systems for automatic punching
of tube and profiles. In order to provide
flexible and highly productive machinery
and working systems, the company offers a
comprehensive range of solutions for tube
and profile punching processes.
The BS range of products is composed of a
standard machine and other custom made
solutions. The BS P80 automatic punching
machine is designed for different working
process options, and is easy to setup and
use with high productivity.
Suitable for processing tubes with diameters
of 25-80mm and 16t capacity, the BS
P80 is characterized by its high flexibility,
allowing punching of tubes with different
sections (round, square and rectangular)
and different profiles. It is the right solution
for manufacturers of shelves, metal fences,
safety railings, stainless steel railings and
suitable for manufacturers of safety doors,
as well as doors and windows in general.
The machine is extremely easy to use due
to a touchscreen control system (PLC)
that allows the modification of processing
parameters such as punch stroke, pliers
positioning speed, processing speed,
number of punching processes, distance
between holes and the length of the tube to
be processed.
Furthermore it is possible to formulate,
save and recall the most used processing
programmes. The systems also assure
maximum reliability due to the related
service offered. Users of the machines
can ask, at any time, for assistance via a
remote customer care system.
BS punching systems are also available
as tailor made machines for punching
tubes with particular sections in order to
maximize productivity. The aim is a working
system that offers maximum productivity
and automation and is suitable to process
steel tubes.
It is possible to punch on three sides at
the same time for the entire tube length.
The machines can be provided with an
automatic tube load/unload system and
with automatic scrap evacuation.

Automatic punching systems for tube and profiles
Multicyl Inc, Canada, is a manufacturer of
complete systems for piercing, punching
and slotting for use in applications including
automotive stamping, metal fabricating and
tube fabricating.
These mandrel punching solutions can
accommodate a range of requirements
including any number of punched holes,
one hole size or multiple hole sizes, one
or two sides, clean or dimpled, and shaped
or round. The equipment has a custom
mandrel that is wire cut to match the
complicated internal design of the extrusion
to ensure accurate hole location.
For tube notching, the company
offers standard units from its
complete line of tube and pipe
notching solutions. Multicyl
systems allow for one side per
cycle, or both sides per cycle. The
company can provide tooling for
like-to-like notching, notching for
different diameter pipe, standard
90º notching, or custom angles.
Multicyl also provide custom
pipe piercing, such as double
mandrel punching stations,
and complete automated tube
punching machines.
The tube slotting technology
from Multicyl enables punching
of a 1" slot in an 8" tube. A cantilever tooling
design allows for a single station to operate
with a variety of tube sizes with no tool
changeover of setup time. In addition, the
cycle time is fast and up to 40t of force is
available. A field proven machine, it is safe
and OSHA approved due to no pinch point.
At last year’s Fabtech, the company
introduced the MultiPunch linear rail (MLR)
system. This is the ideal machine for
punching applications that involve a variety
of parts and multiple setups.
MLR systems are available in standard
rail lengths from 2ft to 10ft. Standard 7.5t
and 12.5t Multicyl punching stations are
used and the simple building block concept
allows users to add or remove stations as
required.
The most important feature of MLR is
punching versatility; different part lengths,
hole sizes, hole positions, end stop
positions, and even part profiles, can all be
punched on a single MLR machine.
