ESI - Fabrication
Modern manufacturing philosophies such as lean manufacturing, JIT etc., have put increased emphasis on the reduction of waste throughout the manufacturing process. Reducing work-in-process and eliminating double handling can have an enormous impact on overall process efficiency. ESI pioneered the development of "In-line" fabrication equipment in the early 1980's and continues to lead the industry in this arena. Functions such as punching, routing, drilling, notching, cut-to-length etc., previously performed off-line can now be brought in-line; eliminating the need for redundant equipment, double handling as well as freeing up valuable human resources. ESI in-line fabrication equipment provides increased accuracy, repeatability and excellent ROI. Manufacturers of automotive gaskets, seals and trim components, appliance components, medical, building materials such as vinyl windows, fencing and office furniture etc. have taken advantage of this cost saving method of precision, finished part fabrication. Machines designed to perform multiple functions are also available further increasing process efficiency. We encourage you to contact your ESI sales engineer to discuss the possibilities of eliminating your off-line processing.

Servo Press Accupunch
The Accupunch series machines provide precision fabrication functions such as punching, notching and complex end cuts of flexible and rigid plastic, rubber or composite profiles to finished part tolerances while still in the extrusion line. High torque servomotors actuating offset cranks are used for providing high speeds to the Servo Press Accupunch. Presses can be mounted in different planes to provide multi-axis fabrication.

Air Press Accupunch
The Accupunch series machines provide precision fabrication functions such as punching, notching and complex end cuts of flexible and rigid plastic, rubber or composite profiles to finished part tolerances while still in the extrusion line. ESI has produced Air Press Accupunches for over 25 years. Large air bladders are used for providing high punch forces to the Air Press Accupunch. Presses can be mounted in different planes to provide multi-axis fabrication.

Boosting Punch with ASC (advanced servo control)
ESI’s ASC boosting punch is designed for fabricating profiles too rigid to stop with the Accupunch. The machine represents a combination of the press used on ESI’s top selling Accupunch and the controls utilized on ESI’s ASC boosting saw. The press is an air diaphragm type with up to 3” stroke and spring return. Standard press size is 20-1/2 x 15-1/2. A full safety cage surrounds the press and boosting mechanism. Support tables are mounted before and after press.
Custom In-line Fabrication
Since it’s inception in 1981, ESI has specialized in on-line fabrication. While the Accupunch series has been available since the early days, ESI is constantly evolving the capabilities of the series. ESI has supplied Accupunches with up to five fabrication presses (some equipped with programmable product features and often mounted in multiple planes), routing systems, drilling systems, sawing systems. ESI has also supplied many variations of boosting fabrication ...
