The Whitney 4400MAX-120 Combination Machine Tool uses the fastest technologies to make parts – Punching and Plasma Cutting.

The Whitney 4400MAX-120 Combination Machine Tool uses the fastest technologies to make parts – Punching and Plasma Cutting.

• Punched holes provide accurate internal features.
• It is faster to punch holes than to pierce and contour holes with plasma or laser.
• External features are plasma cut. Advanced plasma-cutting technology provides highly productive contouring (much faster than laser) with high quality.
  • Small kerf angle (vertical cuts)
  • Dross-free cutting

• Additional features such as forming (countersinks, tread plate, louvers), drilling and tapping can be added to eliminate additional downstream operations, allowing parts to be completed in a single operation.

Manufacturing costs are lower using the combination machine technology.

• Labor costs are lower because it takes significantly less time to manufacture the parts.
• Operating costs are lower.
• Amortization of capital costs is significantly lower since
• Lower initial capital cost than laser
• Faster cycle time – Cost of capital per fabricated part is lower because capital costs are amortized over more fabricated parts.

The PROFIT-DOUBLER

• Higher profit per part —lower overall cost per piece gives a higher profit margin per piece.
• More parts generating profit—more parts are produced (in the same amount of time) on a combination machine, so there are more parts generating profit than on the other technologies.

100 TON PUNCHING CAPACITY

IMPORTANT NOTE: Punching of high tensile material is a special application for Piranha Combination Machine Tools and may void the machine warranty and cause premature tooling wear. High tensile strength material is defined as any material whose tensile strength is greater than 60ksi (413 MPa). Materials often referred to as “remnants” or “seconds” will often randomly exhibit tensile strength greater than 60ksi (413 MPa) and thus will void the machine’s warranty. PIRANHA reserves the right to have a representative sample of customer supplied material mechanically and/or chemically tested. If processing high tensile material, please consult the factory for a review of your specific requirements. In some cases, a larger Piranha Combination Machine model could be recommended.

The 100 TON PUNCHING CAPACITY allows the 4400MAX-120 to:

• Punch larger hole sizes in a given material type and thickness
• Punch holes in higher tensile strength materials
• Punch thicker materials

ADDITIONAL DUST COLLECTOR FOR PLASMA CUTTING ALUMINUM (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: ALUMINUM DUST CAN CAUSE FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS

The ADDITIONAL DUST COLLECTOR FOR PLASMA CUTTING ALUMINUM is a second dust collector that collects aluminum and steel in different dust collectors. The dust collector used for aluminum cutting must be located outside. Precautions must be taken when running aluminum. The chances for fires or explosions increase when running both steel and aluminum on the same machine. Hot steel slag (which has a higher melting point than aluminum) will ignite the aluminum dust particles.

The following items are included in the dust collector assembly:

• Dust collector and filters with silencer
• Explosion vent on dust collector (should there be an explosion, this will direct the force of an explosion in the appropriate direction, and minimize damage to the dust collector).
• Second slag pan, to be used for aluminum cutting only. This slag pan will be interlocked to make sure the appropriate slag pan is used (per part program).
• Manual damper vent to direct exhaust to the appropriate dust collector. This damper vent will be interlocked to make sure that the appropriate dust collector is selected per part program.
• Miscellaneous electrical components and software.
• Special ducting to prevent the settling of aluminum dust within the duct work.
• Documentation (manuals) and name plates
