Vertical surface broaching machines by Ohio Broach offer top advantages

A standard Ohio Broach heavy-duty vertical surface broaching machine

The Ohio Broach & Machine Company has earned a diverse, wide-ranging base by providing world-class broaching services for more than 65 years and counting. In addition, the firm designs, manufactures, and sells various models of broaching equipment for varying requirements, such as a line of heavy-duty vertical surface broaching machines.

Designed and built at the Ohio Broach facility in Willoughby, OH, these heavy-duty vertical machines have capacities from five to 25 tons and strokes from 24 to 72 inches.

Hardened and ground steel ways

These machines are available in standard colours of machine-tool grey or vista green, with other options available on request. Each of these vertical surface machines has a standard voltage of 480/460, three phases, and 60 hertz, with alternative voltages also available. Other major benefits of this broaching equipment by Ohio Broach:

• Hardened and ground steel ways. Machine ways constructed with high carbon steel are used in these machines. First, the Ohio Broach crew hardens and tempers the steel. The next step is to grind the steel to closely controlled tolerances, ensuring durability and a long operational lifespan.
• Hydraulics. High-performance and fixed-displacement vane pumps used in tandem with other controls and valves. This design forms the basis of the standard machine drive system. The system model has reliable open-loop design, with the valves and pumps mounted on a self-contained hydraulic reservoir.
• Lubrication system. Pressurized, individual point lubrication used in all of this equipment, with no “tree-type” lube circuits. Standard system features include low-reservoir-level indication, anti-start interlocking when the machine is in automatic control mode, and high-pressure indication for detecting impaired normal flow conditions.
• Machine frame. Ram-slide and table sub-assemblies mounted on a rigid base weldment, with the lower part of the weldment functioning as a coolant reservoir for the machine. This allows a compact design that uses up a minimal amount of floor space.
• Precision ram slide. A ram slide made out of close-grain, high-tensile, cast iron material. The surfaces are scraped by hand to achieve an exact fit and then flaked for the highest lubrication penetration.
