Madrid, Spain — November 5–8, 2024. Matelec 2024 brought together panel builders, OEMs, and MRO teams looking to compare real-world throughput, accuracy, and TCO in busbar processing. For PAYAPRESS, the show was a launchpad to demonstrate practical gains in setup time and repeatability—live on the stand.
PAYAPRESS × DAGPAP: A Strong On-Site Partnership
In Madrid, PAYAPRESS teamed up with DAGPAP to host hands-on demos and answer technical questions from visitors across Spain and beyond. The focal point was our compact, economic 3-in-1 busbar machine (HBC-A120 ES)—ideal for shops that want punch–cut–bend capability in a single workstation without moving workpieces between machines.
HBC-A120 ES — Integrated 3-in-1 for Everyday Busbar Work
- Integrated punch–cut–bend up to 120×12 mm (Cu/Al) in one cell—fewer handlings, cleaner alignment across operations. See the machine: HBC-A120 ES.
- Encoder-assisted bending with spring-back compensation for consistent angles. Explore dedicated bending options here: Busbar Bender (BE160).
- Punching station with round M6–M18 dies plus optional oval/rectangle slots, aided by a laser pointer for fast centering. Details on higher-capacity punch–cut models: HBC-CP160.
- Cutting station with center-oriented guide and roller support for improved edge finish—see our compact model: HBC-CP120.
- Programmable length stopper (ES): store up to 20 positions (absolute or incremental) to accelerate repeat jobs and reduce rework.
Need simultaneous three-station throughput and the common European capacity of 15×160 mm? Compare with our HBC-A160 3-in-1 workstation (punch, cut, bend) featuring three hydraulic power packs.
What Visitors Asked Us in Madrid
- Hydraulic vs CNC? For low/medium volumes and frequent changeovers, hydraulic 3-in-1 is the sweet spot. For nesting, auto-feeding, and higher takt time, consider a CNC line.
- Tooling coverage? Standard round M6–M18 plus optional oval/rectangle dies cover most LV/MV switchgear patterns.
- Setup speed? Laser centering + programmed stops + quick-change molds cut setup time to minutes.
Show Recap: Strong Interest, Practical Demos
The PAYAPRESS × DAGPAP stand welcomed a steady mix of small workshops and large OEMs. Live demos of HBC-A120 ES and comparisons against our punch–cut, bender, and 3-in-1 (A160) options helped visitors map an upgrade path that fits their mix, footprint, and budget.
