Nisshinbo Offers a 30 ton Upgrade HIQ-1250/22/37

HIQ-1250/22/37 equipped with Wilson Wheel® tooling also performs four-axis contouring

Atlanta, GA – By combining truly cutting edge technology with the industry’s most innovative "no haggle" pricing policy, Nisshinbo’s HIQ-1250/22/37 punch press provides end users with a complete fabricating package from a single source.

The heart of this CNC turret punch press is Nisshinbo’s patented POWER MIZER™ hydraulic servo ram with full position feedback. The speed of the ram’s downward stroke is programmable, and the most efficient ram pressure is automatically selected from a range of nine levels. POWER MIZER™ ensures the lowest impact force possible per operation for quieter running, reduced energy consumption and maximum tooling life. Although the HIQ-1250/22/37 has had a maximum punching force of 24 tons USA/22 tons metric. The redesign frame is now capable of withstanding an increase in punching force.  The newly offered option of 30 mton (33 tons) increases the capability of this model.

Contour Cutting and Forming

Teamed with the Wilson Wheel® family of vertical wheel cutting and rolling tooling from Wilson Tool International, the HIQ-1250/22 punch press is also capable of a host of contour cutting and forming operations. Nisshinbo pioneered the application of this revolutionary tooling to punch press equipment, permitting high speed cutting and forming of offsets, louvers, ribs or slits along any contour at speeds up to 2,000 ipm. Equipped with Wilson Wheel cutting and rolling tooling, the HIQ-1250/22 truly becomes an all-purpose fabricating machine.
