AMADA punching technology –

more than 40 years experience
Abkanttechnologie

For more than four decades, AMADA has

Schweisstechnologie
stood for the highest quality and efficiency
in the field of machine tools. During this
Werkzeuge
time, we have consequently integrated
our theoretical knowledge and practical
experience
VQC into all of our constructions.
Our innovations have always been exactly
suited to the needs and requirements of
our customers. Therefore, the AE series
represents another milestone in CNC
punching technology.
The AE models – the economical
introduction to AMADA punching
technology at delivering the highest level
of performance. Its trend-setting, servo-
electric motor combines all advantages
of mechanical punching technology with
the speed and flexibility of hydraulic high-
speed punching machines. The proven
AMNC controller ensures maximum
precision while being easy to operate. In
addition, the standard specifications of
the AE-255 NT and the AE-2510 NT hardly
leave anything more to be desired.

Efficiency & effectiveness
for your success
The AE series – high performance
for medium format
The servo-electric driven AE series CNC
punching machine opens up a completely
new perspective for sheet metal processing.
Two models are available, the AE-255 NT and
the AE-2510 NT, which distinguish themselves
by an exceptional price-performance ratio.
Thanks to the AE series, you can increase
production speed and profit from the
precision and functionality of reduced
setup times and costs. Once again, this
expands the economic, meaningful range of
application for CNC punching technology.
State-of-the-art technology
ensures the best functionality and
productivity. The AE series as already
successfully proven itself under
difficult practical conditions.
Excellent features
are already part of the standard
specification of the AE punching machine.
For even more flexibility, additional
optional functions are available to deal
with all sheet metal requirements.
Easy operation
by menu-guided user-friendly technology.
The easy operation considerably increases
the entire productivity.
Maximum cost-efficiency
Among other things, the very good price-
performance-ratio is a result of the low
acquisition costs and the absence of
maintenance costs and the resulting costs
caused by downtimes. The considerably
increased range of application in terms of
forming and complete processing also
contributes to the high cost-effectiveness
of the AE series.

 Highly economic CNC
punching machines with
maximum convenience
of operation

Together with the highly accurate servo-

electrical drive, the proven bridge frame
is an essential construction feature
for guaranteeing high-quality results,
even after years of operation.

Servo-electric drive

Powerful
for saving energy

The servo-electric drive combines the On average, the power requirement of

highest productivity with the lowest
operating costs. This drive has proven
itself during tests with 100 million load
cycles. In contrast to the already familiar
problems of conventional punching
processes, the servo-electric punching
operation only has advantages – there
are no known disadvantages.
the drive is 3.5 kW respectively 0.7 kW in
standby mode and therefore considerably
less than the power requirements of a
comparable hydraulic punching machine.
One of the largest savings factors is
the innovative power recovery concept.
Surplus energy from the braking process
is buffered and used for re-acceleration.

The cross-technology, seamless, multimedia
AMNC controller enables convenient, user-
friendly operation on almost all AMADA
machines. A speciality of multiple-machine
operation is the easy handling which therefore
ensures error-free processing. The user can
activate the so-called high accuracy mode
for the production of parts to very high quality
requirements. If desired, this function further
increases the accuracy of the machine.
The tool turret with its patented 3-track
construction reduces setup times to a
minimum, while providing a maximum
of possibilities with 51 stations.
A large selection of tools is available for
forming tasks and the insertion of threads.

Processing reliability
with system
Two systems are available for punch slug
removal. They ensure higher process
reliability:
Power vacuum and the central vacuum
removal for punch slugs. In particularly,
slugs are ejected reliably from the process
during high-speed punching and damage
to the work piece is therefore avoided.

Punch slug removal
Reliable – scratch-free
The AMADA AE series is equipped with
a brush table and a lifting brush table
for scratch-free, high-quality processing
that can be programme-controlled
to avoid scratching the workpiece.
This function even enables reliable
processing of downward-direction
forming such as threaded nozzles.
