OCEAN CLIPPER CNC ANGLE LINE
DESCRIPTION This American made clip angle processing machine has been especially designed for the structural steel fabricator to eliminate costly layout and manual drilling procedures and to fabricate larger profiles in less time. By expediting processing times through elimination of human labor, fabricators achieve greater profits while greatly increasing their tonnage-per-month and tonnage-per-employee outputs. The Ocean CLIPPER can be installed in any structural steel fabrication shop or other operation where layout and punching of clip angles or similar parts is required. It is capable of processing angles from as small as 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/8” all the way up to 6” x 6 x 5/8” Main Characteristics of the Ocean CLIPPER:
Eliminates manual layout, and manual drilling / punching
Provides exceptional accuracy of hole placement, eliminating costly field modifications
Easy installation by fabricator
Very space efficient – no bigger than most ironworkers
Simple and easy to operate
No computer experience required
Fully automatic punching, drilling, and shearing cycle
Immediate payback on a low investment through attractive finance options
OCEAN CLIPPER CNC ANGLE LINE
CONCEPT OF THE ANGLE LINE
A FIXED MACHINE WITH INFEED SUPPORT
The angle line comes complete with 40ft of in-feed idler roller conveyor support amd 10ft ot outfeed conveyor. B IN LINE PUNCHING / DRILLING The CLIPPER features a hydraulic punch in line with a hydraulic drill. This permits the punching and drilling of holes and slots directly in line without the repositioning of the material. This is not possible with machines featuring punches on both legs. The benefit of this design approach is that the machine size is less than one half the size of similar angle lines. The limitation is that the CLIPPER cannot produce slots on both legs – one of the holes will always be round. In clip angle production this is not a limitation at all.
C ANGLE SENSOR SYSTEM
When drilling the first hole the sensor system automatically contacts the heel of the angle. This measures the drill length and this controls the stroke of the drill for all subsequent hole drilling.
D HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A hydraulic power system provides pressure for all the items including the drill, punch, shear and measuring shuttle. The stand-alone hydraulic unit is connected to the machine through high pressure flexible hydraulic hoses. E SIEMENS 2 AXIS 840Di NUMERICAL CONTROL The Siemens numerical control is superbly reliable and compact. It is easy to install and adapts to many machine configurations. It is perfectly suited for the CLIPPER and the structural steel fabricator. The Siemens 840Di Controller is the most reliable and widely deployed CNC controller on the market, and is found on the Ocean AVENGER CNC Beam line as well as all Peddinghaus CNC machines.
E1 INTRODUCTION - DATA STORING
The numerical control has all the tools developed by Siemens to facilitate program creation and provide appreciable operational savings:
Conversational programming
Graphic part representation; on-screen profile representations
Absolute and incremental coordinate programming
Program exchanges by floppy disk, RS-232 connection, local network or optional modem board
Part program storage capacity: 1GB
Industrial PC keyboard and LCD 10 color TFT 10.4” video display panel
E2 AXIS CONTROL
2 simultaneous axes, longitudinal positioning of the angle (X) and vertical movement of the drill and punching heads (Y)
Automatic zeroing of the angle against the datum line
Controlled acceleration and deceleration
Backlash compensation
Axis calibration
E3 PENTIUM PC
The control console is equipped with an industrial, micro-programmable 566Mhz controller mounted in the unit which functions with the CNC processors for use with CAD/CAM and other software tools.

CLIP ANGLE PROCESSING CYCLE Once the machine has been started up, the operator loads the part file he wants to run. He loads the material onto the in-feed conveyor.
The machine will be waiting for the material to be loaded into the gripper, the stripper will be down, the gripper jaw will be open, and the gripper will be in the full back position. The material will be pushed through the gripper jaw until it runs into the stripper. The pad on the anvil extends past the face of the stripper to help hold the material up. The operator will push the clamp button and the gripper jaw will close securing the material. The machine is now loaded.
Once the operator presses the cycle start button, the stripper will open up enough to allow the material to pass through. The x-axis will advance the part to the first hole position. The stripper will come down to hold the material. The punch or drill will move to the proper gauge and then cycle. The stripper will then open up and move to the next hole position. The stripper will come down and the punch or drill will cycle again. The stripper will open and the x-axis will move to the next position. This process will continue for the rest of the holes required. When the machine reaches the position where it needs to shear, the shear will automatically cycle. The machine is optimized to eliminate unnecessary travel, especially in the x-axis. Under normal operating conditions, the material will only be moving in the positive X direction. Depending on the size of the parts you are making, it may be punching or drilling holes on the 4th part before the first part is sheared off. In the same respect it may be punching or drilling holes in the 10th part before the 6th part is sheared off. When the gripper carriage runs out of x-axis travel for making parts, the stripper will come down and clamp the material. The gripper jaw will open, and the gripper will reposition further down along the material. The gripper jaw will then close again and the stripper will open and the material will advance to the next punch, drill, or shear position. For the trailing end of the material, the gripper will reposition to the end of the material based on the value you entered for the length. The value you entered must be close so that the gripper has enough material in its jaw to keep it from moving. The gripper will advance to the last hole position, and the stripper will come down. The punch/drill will cycle and make the last hole. The stripper will open fully, the anvils will move out of the way, the punch will move to a safe gauge, and the gripper will move to the last shear position. After the last part has been sheared, the gripper will move out of the machine and wait for the operator to remove the remainder of material. It will then be ready for the next piece of material to be loaded.
