Kaltenbach WBZ 1500

Kaltenbach WBZ 1500 Plate processing center for base plates, top plates, gusset plates, ribs, flanges etc. in the steel construction industry
The used CNC controlled sheet metal working center for drilling and burning operation in one machine is available from Nenok in Cologne.

With the Kaltenbach Plate processing center, the operator has a multi-functional system for steel processing in the steel construction and steel trading Industry. With this CNC controlled system you achieve high flexibility and profitability for your sheet metal production.
With the Kaltenbach WBZ 1500, you need only one machine operator for the full set of funktion like: drilling, countersinking, thread cutting and flame cutting of sheet metal, sheet metal strip and flat steel. The production of head plates, foot plates and gusset plates is getting economical.

The functionality of the Kaltenbach WBZ 1500 is as follows: First, the contour data is read into the CNC control manually or by transferring CAD data in DSTV format. The controller accepts the generated data and converts it into machine commands so that the positioning axes can approach the desired drilling or cutting torch positons. Thereafter, the metal sheets or flat steel are placed in their initial length. The length measuring device comprising a sliding and pulling gripper carriage is possitioning the workpiece (the plate) first for the drilling process and then for the burning process under the gas cutting unit. The finished components are then suspended or labeled directly by the machine operator and made available for production.
