HBC-CP160 Machine

Why Choose the HBC-CP160 Machine?

A cut-and-punch machine earns its keep by never being the thing a job waits for. The HBC-CP160 machine is built around that idea, and these are the reasons that matter most:

• Big sections, one machine. Bars up to 160 × 15 mm are cut and punched without a trip to a heavier line.
• Two stations, two power packs. Each pack is rated 2.2 kW and runs at up to 230 bar, and the cutter and puncher deliver 160 kN each.
• Holes where the drawing puts them. Hole spacing is controlled to ±0.1 mm, and round holes run from Ø4.5 to 20 mm.
• Familiar brands inside. Siemens PLC and HMI, Duplomatic valves from Italy, Schneider contactors and Autonics sensors.
• Built for a connected shop floor. The machine is Industry 4.0 compatible.

HBC-CP160 Machine Versions: ES or EH

Both versions share the same two stations and the same 160 × 15 mm capacity. What changes is how the bar is positioned for punching and cutting.

• HBC-CP160-ES: a programmable length stopper. Key the positions into the 7-inch screen and the stopper goes there by itself, at up to 2 m/min. A good match for repeat parts and batch work.
• HBC-CP160-EH: a manual length stopper that the operator sets by hand. A good match for mixed, one-off jobs.

Holes and Cuts the HBC-CP160 Machine Can Make

Every busbar needs the right length and the right holes before it goes anywhere else. At its two stations, the HBC-CP160 machine delivers both:

• Round holes: from Ø4.5 to 20 mm, in bars up to 15 mm thick.
• Hole spacing: controlled to ±0.1 mm along the bar.
• Cuts to length: bars up to 160 × 15 mm, in lengths up to 4 m.

Oval and rectangular holes are possible with optional dies, and the catalog lists each one.

Where the HBC-CP160 Machine Is Used

Each job begins as a straight bar and leaves the HBC-CP160 machine cut to length and punched, ready for the bender or the bolt:

• Main and distribution bars for low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear
• Connection bars between circuit breakers, contactors and terminals
• Connection bars for transformers and generators
• Earthing and neutral bars
• Busbar sets for busway and power distribution units

Industries Served by the HBC-CP160 Machine

Wherever power travels through copper or aluminum bars, someone has to cut and punch them. The HBC-CP160 machine is at work in switchgear and electrical panel shops, transformer and busway plants, power stations and substations, renewable energy and battery storage projects, and data center and industrial power installations.

Is the HBC-CP160 Machine Right for Your Workshop?

This machine earns its place when most of your busbar orders are cutting and punching, or when you already own a bender and need the rest of the line to keep up with it. If that sounds like your workshop, the HBC-CP160 is likely a fit: it cuts and punches bars up to 160 × 15 mm on one machine, holds hole spacing to ±0.1 mm, and on the ES version the stopper moves to every hole and cut position from a stored program. The frame is base-mounted, so plan for a footprint of 3,960 × 1,100 mm, a height of 1,740 mm and a weight of 980 kg.
