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
