VihoX 16T Hydraulic Swing Arm Cutting Press for Plastic Packaging & Soft Sheets

Description

Delivering an upgraded 16 metric tons of downward shearing capacity, the VihoX-16SA extends the horizontal bed span to 400 × 900 mm to accommodate broader blister arrays and elongated thermoformed packaging articles. Powered by an upgraded 1.5 kW electric hydraulic power unit, this machine handles tougher composite materials, expanded polyethylene foam, and semi-rigid blister cards with effortless mechanical authority. Its radial swinging arm offers effortless swivel action, allowing operators to rapidly inspect cut edges and clear skeleton scrap without physical strain.

Technical Specifications Matrix: VihoX VihoX-16SA (16T)

Specification Parameter Engineering Value (VihoX-16SA) Production Advantage & Technical Impact
Nominal Cutting Capacity 16 T (Metric Tons) Delivers ample force margin when cutting through thicker PET, PVC, high-impact polystyrene, and cellular gasket foams.
Platen Working Table 400 × 900 mm Extended bed width easily swallows 900 mm blister web strips without requiring secondary stock shearing.
Hydraulic Stroke Length 5–75 mm Adjustable stroke envelope shortens cycle times on thin packaging while enabling full clearance for tall profiles.
Vertical Daylight Clearance Approx. 50–140 mm Ample opening permits convenient insertion of high-rule wooden dies and thick multi-ply raw material stacks.
Primary Drive Motor 1.5 kW Provides robust hydraulic flow for snappy platen return strokes without driving up factory electrical consumption.
Operating Kinematics Manual Feed + Swivel Beam Smooth horizontal sweeping action guarantees complete visual access for exact knife alignment on printed sheets.
Operator Protection Dual Synchronized Buttons Requires concurrent two-hand triggering to initiate hydraulic pressure, keeping operator hands completely out of harm.
Machine Mass & Footprint Approx. 470–750 kg Heavier chassis dampens hydraulic impulse shocks, sustaining level alignment on concrete plant floors.
Exterior Measurements Approx. 900 × 750 × 1350 mm Space-conscious layout integrates neatly into secondary packaging cells and contract thermoforming work areas.

Structural Column Rigidity and Hydraulic Balancing of the 16SA

The structural backbone of the VihoX-16SA relies on an oversized cast alloy vertical column that resists lateral torsional deflection when off-center die strikes occur. The 1.5 kW high-torque motor drives a silent hydraulic gear pump, generating rapid ram descent followed by a smooth pressure build-up. An adjustable mechanical depth collar prevents platen over-travel, safeguarding both blade edges and cutting pads.

Daylight capacity expands up to 140 mm, providing generous vertical clearance for taller wooden dies or multiple stacked sheet layers. Hydraulic circuitry features an integrated pressure relief valve to shield the system against hydraulic overload, while heavy-duty seals inside the cylinder bore ensure leak-free performance throughout continuous industrial shifts.

Production Line Pairing: Secondary Trimming with the VihoX-16SA

The VihoX-16SA bridges the operational gap between manual prototyping and heavy automatic die-cutters:

  • Thermoformed Tray Trimming: Ideal for trimming edge scrap from blister clamshells produced on VihoX plastic packaging machinery.
  • Flexible Material Blanking: Accurately cuts gasket rings, textile cut-pieces, and EVA packaging cushions using cost-effective steel-rule dies.
  • Extrusion Sheet Conversion: Works alongside VihoX sheet extrusion lines for sample sheet punch testing.

Frequently Asked Questions (Buyer Decision Guide)

What sets the VihoX-16SA apart from the smaller 12SA model?

The 16SA offers a wider 900 mm cutting table, greater vertical daylight (140 mm), and a 16-ton capacity with a 1.5 kW motor for cutting tougher polymers.

Can the 16SA handle multi-ply foam and leather cutting?

Yes, the 16-ton press easily punches through multi-layer closed-cell EVA, polyurethane foam, leather goods, and non-woven fabrics.

How do operators adjust stroke limits on the 16SA?

Stroke adjustment is handled via an overhead handwheel and mechanical limit micro-switch, allowing quick adjustments during die changes.

Does the machine include a safety light curtain?

Optical infrared light curtains are offered as an option, alongside the standard two-hand synchronized interlocked buttons.

What maintenance schedule is recommended for the 16SA swing column?

Daily grease application to the column zerk fittings ensures smooth arm rotation, while hydraulic oil levels should be inspected weekly.

Can the cutting head be swiveled completely out of the way?

Yes, the cantilever beam swings a full 180 degrees left or right, granting completely open access across the entire cutting bed.

What is the typical lifespan of the cutting pad on this press?

A standard 25 mm polypropylene cutting pad lasts several months of steady production when rotated and planed periodically.

What international voltages are supported for factory export?

We custom-wind motors and configure contactors for 208V, 220V, 380V, 415V, and 480V across 50Hz and 60Hz industrial systems.
