Prima Power E5 1530

Q: How much does the Prima Power E5 1530 cost?

Our best estimate for the Prima Power E5 1530 is $380,000 - $650,000. This is an estimate for a cnc punch presses in this class, not a quote from Prima Power; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/prima-power-e5-1530#price; the request is passed to Prima Power or an authorised dealer.

Q: What sheet thickness can the E5 1530 punch?

The listed figures are up to 6.0 mm (0.236 in) in steel and up to 8.0 mm (0.315 in) in aluminum. Punching force is 220 kN (24.7 US tons), so the tool perimeter that can be driven through the thickest material is limited. No stainless figure is listed.

Q: How fast is the E5 1530?

The maximum stroke rate is listed as up to 1,200 hits/min, given for nibbling. Repositioning is up to 100 m/min in X and up to 60 m/min in Y, so sheets programmed with the longer moves along X make better use of the machine.

Q: How many tools does the E5 1530 turret hold?

Up to 40 stations are listed, in A/B/C/D tool sizes. The words 'up to' mean the count depends on the turret layout fitted, so check the stations and their sizes on the machine in front of you.

Q: How much does the E5 1530 weigh and what control does it use?

Machine weight is listed as approx. 11,000 kg (24,251 lb), the figure to plan lifting and floor loading around. The control is listed as Prima Power NC Express. The drive type is servo-electric.

Overview

The Prima Power E5 1530 is a servo-electric turret punch press with a 1,500 x 3,000 mm (59 x 118 in) working area and 220 kN (24.7 US tons) of punching force. It is not part of Prima Power's current lineup, so this page works from the listed figures and suits someone weighing up a used machine.

Force and thickness go together here. Steel is listed up to 6.0 mm (0.236 in) and aluminum up to 8.0 mm (0.315 in), and 220 kN has to shear the whole perimeter of the tool being driven through that material. Large shapes in the thickest steel reach the force limit long before small round holes do, so check the heaviest hit in the job, not the typical one.

Speed is uneven between the axes. X repositioning is listed at up to 100 m/min and Y at up to 60 m/min, so nests laid out with the long moves along X run faster. The stroke rate of up to 1,200 hits/min is a nibbling figure and should not be read as the rate for widely spaced holes.

The turret holds up to 40 stations in A/B/C/D tool sizes. Noise is listed at < 75 dB during operation, which counts if the press shares a room with assembly or inspection. The control is Prima Power NC Express and the machine weighs approx. 11,000 kg (24,251 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Servo-electric drive with a stroke rate of up to 1,200 hits/min when nibbling
Noise level is listed at < 75 dB during operation
Up to 40 turret stations in A/B/C/D tool sizes, so a wide tool mix can stay loaded
X repositioning at up to 100 m/min across a 1,500 x 3,000 mm (59 x 118 in) working area

Limitations

220 kN (24.7 US tons) restricts large-perimeter tools in the thickest listed steel
Y repositioning is up to 60 m/min, well below the 100 m/min listed for X
Steel is limited to 6.0 mm (0.236 in); the 8.0 mm (0.315 in) figure applies to aluminum only

Best For

Thin-gauge steel panels up to 6.0 mm (0.236 in) on 1,500 x 3,000 mm sheet Aluminum sheet up to 8.0 mm (0.315 in) Perforated and nibbled patterns at up to 1,200 hits/min Shops where a < 75 dB punch press matters

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sheet thickness can the E5 1530 punch?

The listed figures are up to 6.0 mm (0.236 in) in steel and up to 8.0 mm (0.315 in) in aluminum. Punching force is 220 kN (24.7 US tons), so the tool perimeter that can be driven through the thickest material is limited. No stainless figure is listed.

02 How fast is the E5 1530?

The maximum stroke rate is listed as up to 1,200 hits/min, given for nibbling. Repositioning is up to 100 m/min in X and up to 60 m/min in Y, so sheets programmed with the longer moves along X make better use of the machine.

03 How many tools does the E5 1530 turret hold?

Up to 40 stations are listed, in A/B/C/D tool sizes. The words 'up to' mean the count depends on the turret layout fitted, so check the stations and their sizes on the machine in front of you.

04 How much does the E5 1530 weigh and what control does it use?

Machine weight is listed as approx. 11,000 kg (24,251 lb), the figure to plan lifting and floor loading around. The control is listed as Prima Power NC Express. The drive type is servo-electric.
