Product Features & Details

Rigid Welded Frame for Stable Stamping

The APC-160 uses a heavy steel-plate welded frame designed to provide structural rigidity during pressing. The supplier’s specification table lists a machine weight of 20 tons, supporting a substantial machine structure for production use.

The rigid frame helps limit vibration and movement under load. This supports stable die alignment and consistent operation, particularly when the machine is used for repeated stamping cycles.

Precision Slide Guidance and Die Alignment

The slide guidance system is designed to maintain alignment between the moving slide and the die. By helping control lateral movement, it supports consistent positioning throughout the pressing cycle.

Stable guidance is particularly useful for progressive dies and tooling that depend on accurate alignment between stations. The supplied specification lists JIS/CNS Class 1 press precision.

160-Ton Capacity and 15 kW Main Motor

The APC-160 provides a nominal capacity of 160 tons. The model specification lists a 15 kW main motor for the mechanical drive.

Machine selection should consider both the required force and the position in the stroke where that force is needed. The V and H versions have different rated tonnage points, allowing the configuration to be matched to the die and forming process.

V and H Versions for Different Production Requirements

The APC-160 is listed in two specification variants:

  • V version: 200 mm stroke, 35–65 strokes per minute, and 450 mm die height.
  • H version: 130 mm stroke, 40–85 strokes per minute, and 485 mm die height.

The longer-stroke V version provides additional slide travel, while the H version offers a higher listed operating speed. The appropriate version depends on die requirements, material feeding, part removal, and the target production rate.

Large Working Area and Adjustable Die Setup

The machine provides a 2,000 × 760 mm bolster area and a 1,600 × 550 mm slide area. These surfaces provide space for die installation, including multi-station tooling where the complete die layout fits the machine.

A 100 mm slide adjustment range helps accommodate different die setups. Tooling selection should account for die height, stroke, mounting dimensions, and the clearance needed for feeding and part removal.

Centralized Controls and Electrical Cabinet

The control panel brings operating controls and parameter settings together in one location. A front control box provides an additional operating position near the work area.

The electrical cabinet organizes the machine’s control components for access during inspection and maintenance. The product images also show pressure gauges for monitoring the pneumatic system.

Automatic Lubrication and Pneumatic System

The illustrated lubrication unit provides automatic lubrication to support smooth movement and reduce the need for manual lubrication at individual points.

The pneumatic system includes organized piping and pressure monitoring. Maintaining the specified air supply and following the lubrication schedule help support reliable machine operation.

Die Cushion for Forming Applications

The APC-160 specification includes a two-plate, two-cylinder die cushion arrangement, with a listed capacity of 6.3 tons per cylinder.

The die cushion provides support for operations requiring material holding during forming. Its suitability depends on the die design, required holding force, and forming depth. Inclusion of this configuration should be confirmed in the quotation.

Integration with Automated Stamping Equipment

The supplier describes the APC-160 as compatible with feeders, decoilers, and levelers. These units can be combined to prepare and feed coil material into the press.

Automation equipment should be selected according to coil weight, material width and thickness, feed pitch, die layout, and production speed.

FAQ

What is the APC-160 used for?

The APC-160 is a mechanical power press for sheet metal punching, stamping, and forming. Application suitability depends on the required force, tooling, material, and selected configuration.

What is the difference between the V and H versions?

The V version has a 200 mm stroke and a listed speed of 35–65 strokes per minute. The H version has a 130 mm stroke and a listed speed of 40–85 strokes per minute. Their die heights and rated tonnage points also differ.

Is the APC-160 a CNC servo press?

The supplied listing identifies it as a mechanical punching machine, and the attributes mark it as a conventional machine. It should be specified as a mechanical power press.

Can it work with progressive dies?

The supplier highlights precision guidance and a large bolster area for progressive tooling. The complete die layout, required tonnage, feed pitch, and operating speed should be reviewed before selection.

Can the machine be integrated into an automated line?

Yes. The supplier describes compatibility with feeders, decoilers, and levelers. The line configuration should be matched to the coil material and production requirements.
