Broaching machines from Ohio Broach also have many optional accessories

Ohio Broach offers machine tables, clamping systems, platforms, and chip-removal conveyors in addition to machines and broaching services.

The Ohio Broach and Machine Company is one of the continent’s premier sources of broach machines and related products and services. From six types of machines to tool building and sharpening, this range of capabilities has made Ohio Broach one of the most trusted names in this field.

Also available are several accessories for broach machines, which can broaden their machining abilities to suit user needs. This optional equipment includes machine tables, clamping systems for holding work, platforms, and conveyors for chip removal.

A number of options available

Ohio Broach can provide a number of available options for machine tables, all of which have cross keyways that assist fixture changeover. The standard table for broach machines is a platen type with a large, obstruction-free perimeter. But tip-back tables are also available. This option can enable easier access when loading or unloading work pieces by tilting the work-holding fixture; the user then tilts the table forward automatically to make sure the position is correct for broaching. Another option is the infeed shuttle table, which allows for multiple, repetitive broach cuts to enable the machine to keep making passes until it reaches the required depth. Infeed shuttle tables can come with tip-back capability too.

The company also offers upgrading options for applications that involve manual-type work-holding fixture clamping. Ohio Broach’s air-oil booster-type power sources include electrical pressure switches and necessary tie-ins for broaching machines’ electrical systems. Yet another option available is a double-hydraulic power source for large-volume hydraulic cylinders or multi-cylinder applications; these are also useful for powering automatic fixture movements.

Ohio Broach also supplies chip-removal conveyors for both pit and floor-surface broach machines, including drag-link conveyors for handling non-ferrous chips and magnetic types for ferrous chips. These chip-removal conveyors come with baffles and electrical tie-ins. Also available are operator platforms with durable construction with heavy-duty grating and structural tubing.

Whatever a company’s needs are, Ohio Broach can supply suitable accessories to make the broaching process as efficient and profitable as it can be. This is how this company remains a top name in the business.
