ProVision Alliance Punch Bender
Friday 16. May 2008 - The ProVision Alliance is a high-speed, automatic, in-line single-stage bender for singlewide plates with a minimum of 279 mm (11") or doublewide plates with a maximum width of 698.5 mm (27.5"). It is capable of producing up to 250 singlewide or doublewide plates per hour in Vision and 290 pph with edge registration.
The ProVision Alliance can be special ordered to accept up to a 965.2 mm (38″) plate. Plates are fed head or trail to the left or right via optional conveyor, then automatically Vision registered by Cognex System controlled fixed dual cameras with an accurracy of +/- 0.0127 mm (0.0005″). Plates are punched (includes up to four punches) and then bent using Glunz & Jensen’s unique rotary bend leaf design.
The ProVision Alliance also includes an electrical edge contact registration system. The ProVision incorporates the AutoLube Punch System, which automatically lubes the punches to reduce galling and extend the life of the punches. The ProVision Alliance utilizes Glunz & Jensen’s unique rotary bend leaf movement to perform precise lead and trail plate bends.
ProVision Command PC control can be operated from a remote terminal via built-in modem, VPN connection or LAN network. Also included is a network card to transfer the benders informational data to another system.
Glunz & Jensen will debut at Drupa 2008 an new look for the ProVision Alliance. A new skin package dresses the bender to look more inline with the Glunz & Jensen Plate processors; this gives any print facility or newspaper production line a clean uniform look to its plate line.
