For over 50 years, we have been recognized worldwide for our expertise in sheet metal punching and bending technology. Now, as part of the Vaski Group for one and a half years, Pivatic has introduced a brand-new compact punching line concept designed to boost internal synergies and unlock new possibilities for multi-material and kit production.
First unveiled at Pivatic’s 200th anniversary celebration in Hyvinkää this summer, the PivaPunch PCC150-e TTi Compact system sets a new standard for productivity in the manufacturing of product families and symmetrical parts.
Thanks to MULTICOIL technology—the fastest coil change system in the sheet metal industry—coil changes can be completed in as little as 25 seconds. Combined with Pivatic’s fully automated continuous punching process, the Compact line achieves part cycle times as short as 5 seconds for symmetrical products, with feeding, punching, and cutting performed simultaneously.
The Compact line is also available as the PCC80 version, tailored for coils up to 800 mm wide.
A deeper look at Pivatic technology
Beyond maximizing productivity, the PivaPunch PCC150-e TTi Compact has been carefully engineered to deliver efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings. The UNICOIL and MULTICOIL coil systems from Vaski Group offer significant advantages in small and medium batch production, with decoilers (1) available in 6-ton and 10-ton capacities. A breakthrough innovation introduced this year allows operators to load a new coil into the MULTICOIL system while the machine is running—eliminating production interruptions.
The straightening feeder (2) without a traditional loop reduces required floor space by several meters, while its non-stop roll movement ensures premium part quality even for sensitive materials like aluminum.
Pivatic’s signature Pivat quick-change cassette system has also been refined for the Compact line. Cassette reach has been extended for all tools to cover the centerline even with wide coils, enabling highly flexible kit production—where narrow parts can be produced side by side from a single wide coil.
Each punching station is equipped with 52 tool slots, expandable with multitool adapters to over 100 tools. Thanks to Pivatic’s cassette technology, punch and die alignment tolerances are optimized, dramatically reducing tool wear. This results in a tool life 5–10 times longer than conventional thick turret punching machines.
By utilizing the full coil width and cutting parts directly to length, Pivatic’s punching method drastically reduces waste—producing no skeleton at all.
For applications requiring perforation or repeated hole patterns, a HT press station (4) can be added after the thick turret punching station (3). Tooling changes are completed in under one minute with the quick-change cassette. After punching, parts are cut from the strip by a shear (5) and can be boxed, stacked for storage, or forwarded to downstream processes such as bending or assembly.
The most common downstream process is the CTW width-cutting station (6), which enhances nesting efficiency and kit production capabilities.
Introducing the new Pivatic HMI
Alongside the Compact line, Pivatic has launched a new human–machine interface (HMI) offering real-time production monitoring. Customers can track material usage, order completion, part counts, tool setups, part positions within the line, and alarm logs—all from a single visual dashboard.
Remote data monitoring minimizes unplanned downtime, integrates valuable data directly into ERP systems, and simplifies the operator’s role with a clean, intuitive interface.
