The Povi 5000 is the latest generation of punching machines for cable ducts developed by Baruffaldi Plastic Technology and showed at K 2013. This is a high performance solution able to process different length cable ducts and shorter than the standard two metre measurement. Available in the in-line and off line versions, it has a completely re-designed profile handling system that is easy to use and maintain. The machine guarantees high quality results for an investment that is 40% lower than that of the larger version, the Povi 10000, and is therefore particularly recommended for use by small processors or manufacturers in emerging economies hoping to find a niche for quality products in the rapidly growing, electric cable duct market. The high quality of the cable ducts produced derives from a long-standing tradition and knowledge in punching tools which ensure perfect and accurate punching, combined with a specific software which manages the cable duct feeding and punching accuracy, and the patented coining system which eliminates all traces of burrs and dust. Indeed the Povi 5000 represents a fine example of the manufacturer’s technological offer with automation, a simple design and ease of use being combined in the service of productivity: high speed operation, less scrap and energy saving.
