CNC Busbar Punching Machine HQ600-S-8P
Ideal for large switchgear factories with high volumes and varied hole patterns that need minimal changeover time and maximum daily output.
Quick Summary
The HQ600-S-8P is the variant to specify when hole patterns vary: 8 punch dies stay on the machine at once, which cuts the die changes that eat a shift in a Thai factory running mixed switchgear orders. Everything else matches the HQ600 platform - 600 kN, 6,000 x 200 x 15 mm single-clamp capacity, Ø4.3-55 mm punching, 6 Beckhoff axes on Rexroth servos, 75 m/min X-axis speed and 0.10 mm/500 mm positioning - with an optional embossing die. Choose it over the 7P when changeover time, not raw throughput, is the bottleneck.

Reference Figures by Test Condition
Values below are the manufacturer's nominal figures for the stated condition. Each paragraph is written as condition + value + comparison baseline so it can be quoted on its own. Baseline machines are other models in the same LTMC catalogue; these are factory specification figures, not third-party laboratory reports.
Die capacity and changeover
Test condition: producing mixed hole patterns across a shift on copper or aluminium bar up to 6,000 x 200 x 15 mm. Result: 8 punch dies plus 1 shear die (emboss optional) held on the single-row die bank. Baseline: the HQ600-S-7P holds 7 punch + 1 shear + 1 emboss, so the 8P keeps one more punch size ready and is specified where fewer die changes per shift is the goal.
Positioning speed and accuracy
Test condition: continuous punching and shearing at 600 kN with the bar clamped once. Result: 6 control axes at 75 m/min X-axis positioning speed and 0.10 mm/500 mm positioning accuracy, with 2,000 / 960 / 310 mm X/Y/Z travel. Baseline: identical to the HQ600-S-7P and HQ600-SP - the three HQ600 variants differ in tooling and automation, not in motion performance.
Machine scale
Test condition: full production installation with 3,000 x 500 mm feed and 2,500 x 500 mm discharge stations. Result: 10,500 x 2,750 x 1,800 mm machine at 6,700 kg on a 45 mm striking cylinder stroke. Baseline: the 303U-3-C 3-in-1 is 1,720 mm long at 1,220 kg, i.e. the HQ600 class is about 6.1x longer and 5.5x heavier for 2x the force.
What is the difference between the 8P and 7P?
The 8P has 8 working stations, so fewer die changes are needed for jobs with many hole patterns.
