Piranha-Whitney 4400MAX Combination Machine

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

INCLUDED EQUIPMENT
This proposal describes the Model 4400MAX CNC Punch/Plasma Fabricating Center, 100 ton (900 kN) punching capacity, 96″ x 170″ (2450 mm x 4325 mm) positioning area per attached specifications, for 460/3/60 volt incoming power. (NOTE: Material blank sizes greater than 160” can be processed by utilizing the Programmable Repositioning Assembly.)

Siemens 840DSL CNC 3-Axis Positioning / Contouring Control including:

Pendant mounted operator’s station,
Windows XP Operating System,
Alpha/Numeric panel and Windows keyboard with trackball,
5 MB part program and system shared memory
USB Interface
10.4″ High Resolution Color LCD Monitor.
Network Card, installed in the CNC Control, including:

10/100 Mb RJ45 Ethernet
Ready for connection to customer’s existing Network, and
Suitable for downloading Part Programs
Automatic Tool Changer – including storage magazine with (16) sixteen tool storage locations. The Tooling System uses Whitney 44TC Style Tools, and includes one (1) Alignment Tool Set.

Programmable Small Parts Drop Door – 24″ x 96″, (600 mm x 2450 mm), located immediately next to the plasma torch, used for automatically unloading small parts and cut-outs.

Hypertherm MAXPRO200®, LongLife® air and oxygen plasma cutting system with impressive cutting speeds, consistent cut quality, and exceptional consumable life.

Integrated Dust Collection System, including the dust collector, spark trap, duct, wiring, and interconnections are provided.

NOTE: The supplied dust collection system is designed for plasma cutting steel and stainless steel. Plasma cutting aluminum requires an optional additional aluminum dust collector.

Integrated Plasma System Support Equipment:

Air intensifier for increasing shop air pressure as required for plasma cutting
Slag Chamber lined with refractory materials
Whitney Halo, plasma torch collision detection device.

Retractable Hydraulic Work Clamp Assembly – including (3) hydraulic work clamps for up to 1.0″ (25 mm) thick material. Clamps require no adjustment for changes in material thickness.

NOTE: Retractable work clamps allow the rear edge of the raw material to be processed (punched and plasma cut) without repositioning, effectively eliminating work clamp avoidance zones.

Programmable Repositioning Assembly is designed to relocate the work clamps on the material in order to process areas of the material that are within the work clamp safety zones. Automatic repositioning allows the repositioning of material blanks which are longer that the X-axis.

NOTE :If the machine will be making finished parts longer than the X-axis length, please contact Whitney to review the specific application.

Hydraulic Pressure Switch Circuit – selectable through part program, for ram reversal upon pressure. This allows forming work such as center punch marks, number stamps, countersinks, louvers, and embossing to be done.

Programmable Repositioning Assembly is designed to relocate the work clamps on the material in order to process areas of the material that are within the work clamp safety zones. Automatic repositioning allows the repositioning of material blanks which are longer that the X-axis.

NOTE :If the machine will be making finished parts longer than the X-axis length, please contact Whitney to review the specific application.

Material Support Roller Tables are supplied for the left and right side of the machine.

NOTE: The material support roller tables are designed to support the material during processing. For applications in which the material thickness is predominately 0.125” (3 mm) or less, ball transfer support tables are recommended in lieu of the roller tables.

Hydraulic Power Unit – with 60 H.P. (45kw) drip-proof motor and hydraulic oil.

Automatic Punch Lubrication – with reservoir.

Remote Diagnostics Package – allows many machine problems to be diagnosed via the Internet using TeamViewer. W. A. Whitney Service Technicians can log directly onto the CNC control for the purpose of diagnosing problems, reviewing NC programs, downloading new software, and changing parameters if required. Customer is responsible for providing a suitable Ethernet connection at the machine CNC control with Internet access. A telephone line or cell phone is recommended so that the technician can talk to the operator/maintenance person while diagnosing the problem.

Software License – for all software resident on the CNC Control. The software is proprietary, and the intellectual property of W. A. Whitney Co. Prior to the commissioning of the machine tool, the user must sign a software license agreement. This is a non-transferable license that must be renewed by any and all subsequent owners of the machine tool. The value of this software license is $1,500.00, and it is included in the price of the machine.

Operating and Service Manual – consisting of (1) print copy and (1) CD copy W. A. Whitney Documentation and (1) print copy of Vendor Documentation including Fanuc CNC and Drives.

Electrical Standards – The machine conforms to W. A. Whitney electrical design standards which are based on N. E. C., NFPA-79, and UL Standards with deviations. Components are NEMA and IEC rated where possible.
