Banner Metalcraft Inc. has four complete programming centers capable of reading .PSD, .DWG, .IGES, .DXF and CATIA files. These centers are also able to import .PDF, .CAL, .TIF, .GIF, .HPGL and most other raster images. The flat pattern scanner is primarily used for creating flat pattern inspection reports. Although it is capable of reverse engineering of parts up to 48" x 48". The 36" x 48" digitizing board transfers mylar data into the computer for programming. The 36" roll printer can create prints and mylars if they are required.
Our 2200 watt combination punch/laser gives us the ability to burn intricate areas of a flat pattern and then punch the remaining part at up to 7 hits per second. This blend of punching speed with laser versatility has proved to be invaluable. The second punch press can punch up to 6 hits per second. Both machines are capable of punching up to .250" (most alloys). Our third punch press is a hydraulic punch press with the ability to punch up to 12 hits a second. Incredibly fast and accurate, this machine runs our smaller parts. Combine this with almost 1000 different punches in stock, we are equipped to fabricate any of your requests.
The brake department consists of nine brakes. From our four foot, 16 ton brake for small jobs, eight foot, 130 ton brake for the large/thick gauge jobs and 7 brakes in between for everything else. These high end brakes combined with highly skilled operators create an unmatched bending/forming department. No part is too intricate.
The machining department has five CNC milling machines. A OKK is used for general machining. The Hass VF6SS has a 1000psi coolant thru spindle and a large 64”x 32”x30” machining area. Both VF4SS machines are also equipped 1000psi coolant thru spindles. One of these machines has a two pallet system with three vises per pallet. The Howa has a rotary pallet system with two vises pre side. Three manual Bridgeport supports small secondary work.
For block formed parts, our 680 ton rubber press forms parts with ease. You can send us your form block or have us design and manufacture one. This machine is capable of form blocks up to 23"W x 52"L x 4.5"H.
We also have a 24" round, 400 ton rubber press for smaller parts.
