Vertical Pull Up Machines

Vertical Pull Up Machines - In vertical pull up machines, the pulling ram is above the worktable and the broach handling mechanism below it. While the broach is lowered, the work is placed over the pilot.

The handling mechanism than raises the broach until it engages the puller head. As the broach is pulled upward, the work comes to rest against the underside of the table where it is held until the broach has been pulled through. The work then falls free.

Vertical pull up machines are highly productive. They may have up to 8 broaches working simultaneously. Moreover the workpieces need only be placed in the machines, and the broach handling and work removal are automatic. In certain cases the workpieces may also be fed automatically.
