Schroeder PDC-NC

Details

Heavy-Duty “Duo-Cut” Drive delivers exceptional static and dynamic rigidity, making it a stronger version of the MHSU machine while retaining the
many functional merits.

Next-Generation Software Control

The PDC-NC features Cut Control software with an intuitive touch display. The programmable cutting sequence automatically adjusts the back gauge for varying lengths on the same sheet, speeding up production while minimising waste.

Applications & Best Uses

The machine’s primary advantage is its automated precision and handling efficiency.

Serial Cutting: The Cut Control software optimises multi-length serial production with up to 9 programmable sequences.
Sheet Metal and Plastics Processing: It is purposefully designed to process various types of sheet metal and plastics with consistent accuracy.
Heavy-Duty Fabrication: Conquer high-capacity workshop tasks effortlessly. Built with a rigid frame and a powerful Duo-Cut drive, this machine easily handles steel up to 3mm thick.
Ergonomic Material Handling: Perfectly suited for operations requiring automated material support and blanks delivery to reduce operator strain.

The Schroeder PDC-NC advantage

Engineered for Precision and Durability: The PDC-NC features a torsion-free rigid welded construction and a “Duo-Cut” drive utilising two dynamic, low-noise geared motors, ensuring exceptional static and dynamic rigidity. The generously designed flat cutting beam guides are equipped with wear-resistant sliding covers to provide optimal guidance and dampening.

Hands-On Performance:

Automated Cut Control: The touch-operated Cut Control software allows for 9-step programming and motorised back gauge positioning via servo motors for effortless setup.
Pneumatic Sheet Support: Holds the sheet horizontally and perfectly aligned to the gauge, safely depositing the blank to the front or back after the cut.
Material Protection: The hold-down device features a hard rubber rail, and the table includes exchangeable stainless steel plates to prevent scratching polished sheets.
Enhanced Drive System: The bilateral drive ensures consistent force distribution for a significantly improved cutting capacity.
