Inkjet Printed Component Information

ExtraTools.

Option 1- Customer defined prepunch tool

Option 2 - Customer defined postpunch tool

The H500 is a larger Howick Frame Machine so it has space for two extra hydraulic tools, commonly these are specified for extra fixing hole punches such as bolt down holes or for floor structure attachment positions. For machines that require more than two extra tools, or larger tools are required, "Howick" will design and manufacture a specialised machine to suit.

End Bearing. 

This machine is unique with the ability to produce True-Load Bearing Studs from the use of a special cut-off tool that crimps the end of the studs to locate into the bottom of the track section. Customers using this machine are able to build and engineer multi-storey buildings of up to 10 floors as the fastenings do not carry the compression loads.
