Compact vertical broaching machine by Ohio Broach meets many needs

Ohio Broach's RP/224 vertical surface machine

The Ohio Broach & Machine Company serves North American businesses as a convenient one-stop shop for all broaching needs. Not only does the company provide broaching services – it also builds broaching machines, for its own use and to sell to private users. A key example is Ohio Broach’s unique RP/224 vertical surface machine. This is a compact vertical broaching machine that the company can tailor in size, speed, and price to meet the customer’s small broaching requirements.

Using up minimal floor space

A high-speed, solidly constructed piece of equipment, the RP/224 is a machine that uses up minimal floor space in any manufacturing plant. This compact vertical broaching machine has been designed and built for secondary machining operations, such as flats, slots, and surface contours. Its two-foot stroke and two-ton capacity enables a broaching speed as high as 100 feet per minute (FPM) and a return speed of 200 FPM.

The RP/224 comes with a number of beneficial features. Some examples: solid-state programmable logic controls; carbon steel machine ways coated with Moglice anti-stick bearing surface to extend operation life; ram slides of close-grain, high-tensile cast iron, ground for exact fits; 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 operation without the need for any pit or platform.

This compact vertical broaching machine has been customized to meet any broaching needs, but every model has the same compact, solid construction that uses up minimal space on the facility floor. Ohio Broach builds this machine with quality as the top priority, as it does with every other machine, at its ISO 9001-certified plant in Willoughby, OH.

Ohio Broach manufactures several types of broaching machines in addition to this one. Other models of vertical machines are available, as well as horizontal ones and a CNC shaper. Whatever options a customer may need – from standalone or transfer-type equipment to automatics or semiautomatic loading functions – they are always available.
