Horizontal and vertical broaching machines are available from Ohio Broach

Ohio Broach sells various broaching machines.

The Ohio Broach & Machine Company is known internationally for world-class broaching services and skills. But the firm also manufactures a line of broaching machines, so clients can perform their own broaching applications privately. Designing, building, marketing, and selling broaching machines has been a key part of Ohio Broach’s success for decades.

These machines allow for a variety in broaching-equipment design, including both horizontal and vertical models for varying needs.

CNC shaper and Table-Up options

The heavy-duty vertical surface broaching machine is a popular option available from the company. This device has such features as high carbon steel ways hardened and ground for long lifespans, precision ram slides made of high-tensile cast iron, lubrication systems with operational interlocks, an integral coolant reservoir with a high-efficiency coolant pump, and an integral hydraulic reservoir and hydraulic system with a high-performance, fixed-displacement vane pump.

Also available is a dual-ram vertical broaching machine – similar to the aforementioned model, but with two heavy-duty vertical surface ram and guide block assemblies on a common base. This machine is available from Ohio Broach either in the traditional alternating ram operation or as two independently operating rams.

Recommended for flats, slots, surface contours, and other secondary operations, the RP/224 vertical surface machine has a compact design that takes up relatively little floor space. Among the features of this unit are solid-state programmable controls, a durable cast iron guide block, a point-pressurized lubrication system, and high-performance pumps, controls, and valves.

Ohio Broach also offers three models of horizontal internal broaching machines: the HC and HDC, which have close-grained, high-tensile, one-piece cast iron guide heads, and the HF, with a continuously welded and thermally stress-relieved, fabricated-steel guide head. All pull heads have rapid returns to the start position, plus precision-ground wear pads that can be easily replaced.

Finally, two more options that are available from Ohio Broach are the CNC shaper, which enables removal of materials against shoulders or in blind holes, and the Table-Up internal broaching machine, which allows users to load parts at the floor level without any pit or platform.
