Compact broaching machine by Ohio Broach uses minimal floor space

The RP/224 vertical surface broaching machine, produced by Ohio Broach

The Ohio Broach & Machine Company is renowned in the United States and Canada not only for its broaching skills and expertise, but also for building its own broaching machines – which the company can sell to private users. This includes its RP/224 vertical surface broaching machine.

This compact vertical machine can be tailored in size, speed, and price to meet any customer’s small broaching needs.

High speed and solid construction

The RP/224 vertical surface broaching machine is a high-speed, solidly constructed piece of equipment that uses minimal floor space in a manufacturing facility. Ohio Broach has designed it for secondary machining operations including flats, slots, and surface contours. With a two-foot stroke and a two-ton capacity, this machine has a broaching speed of up to 100 feet per minute (FPM) and a return speed of 200 FPM.

Other features of this broaching machine include the following:

• Solid-state programmable logic controls;
• Carbon steel machine ways coated with Moglice anti-stick bearing surface to extend operational life;
• Ram slides of close-grain, high-tensile cast iron, ground to fit exactly;
• Double cast iron guide block;
• Individual point pressurized lubrication system;
• High-performance hydraulic pump, valves, and controls for reliable open-loop hydraulics;
• Rigid base weldment to support the ram and guide assembly;
• Easy setup for automated or hand-load applications; and
• No pit or platform needed for operation.

Although this vertical surface broaching machine is customized to meet any requirements, each one has the same compact, solid construction that uses up little space on the plant floor. Like all Ohio Broach machines, it is produced with quality as the top priority. The company builds this machine at its ISO 9001-certified facility in Willoughby, OH.

The RP/224 is not the only broaching machine that Ohio Broach manufactures, of course. The company also makes other vertical machines, as well as horizontal machines and a CNC shaper. Whether a client needs a standalone or transfer-type machine, with automatic or semi-automatic loading options, Ohio Broach can make it.
