Overview

The Prima Power Punch Genius 1530 (PG1530) is a turret punch press for sheet up to 3,000 x 1,500 mm (118 x 59 in) and 8 mm (0.31 in) thick. Two choices made at order define the machine: the performance level, Pure or Dynamic, and the X25 or X30 variant that Prima Power's positioning figures are split by.

Ram force and hit rate follow the performance level. PG Pure has a maximum ram force of 230 kN (25 US tons) and a maximum hit speed of 700 hpm. PG Dynamic is rated 300 kN (33 US tons) and 1,000 hpm. Index tools turn at 180 rpm on Pure and 250 rpm on Dynamic, which shortens the pause each time a tool has to be re-angled between hits.

Positioning speed has four values. Prima Power gives 108 m/min for PG Pure / X25, 127 m/min for PG Pure / X30, 127 m/min for PG Dynamic / X25 and 150 m/min for PG Dynamic / X30. A Pure machine with X30 therefore positions as fast as a Dynamic with X25. For large panels with widely spaced holes, where travel counts for more than hit rate, that pairing deserves a look before committing to Dynamic.

The turret is customized, with a maximum of 400 tools in the turret and a maximum of 384 index tools. The PG1540 is the longer size at 4,300 x 1,500 mm. Where laser-cut contours are wanted on the same machine, the Combi Genius adds a 3 kW, 4 kW or 6 kW laser.

The PG1530 stops at 3,000 x 1,500 mm (118 x 59 in); 4,300 x 1,500 mm sheet needs the PG1540

Best For

Punched and formed parts from 3,000 x 1,500 mm (118 x 59 in) sheet High hit-count panels on PG Dynamic at up to 1,000 hpm Work with many angled features, using up to 384 index tools Sheet up to 8 mm (0.31 in) thick

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between PG Pure and PG Dynamic?

PG Pure has a maximum ram force of 230 kN (25 US tons), a maximum hit speed of 700 hpm and an index tool rotation speed of 180 rpm. PG Dynamic has 300 kN (33 US tons), 1,000 hpm and 250 rpm. Positioning speed also rises: 108 or 127 m/min on Pure, 127 or 150 m/min on Dynamic, depending on X25 or X30.

02 How fast does the Punch Genius 1530 position the sheet?

It depends on the combination. Prima Power lists PG Pure / X25 at 108 m/min, PG Pure / X30 at 127 m/min, PG Dynamic / X25 at 127 m/min and PG Dynamic / X30 at 150 m/min. Ask which combination a quoted machine is, because the figure varies from 108 to 150 m/min.

03 What sheet size and thickness does the PG1530 take?

The PG1530 takes sheets up to 3,000 x 1,500 mm (118 x 59 in), with a maximum sheet thickness of 8 mm (0.31 in). The PG1540 is the larger size in the range and takes 4,300 x 1,500 mm.

04 How many tools fit in the Punch Genius turret?

Prima Power describes the turret as customized, with a maximum of 400 tools in the turret and a maximum of 384 index tools. The actual number on a machine depends on the turret layout specified at order, so agree the layout with the tooling list in hand.
