Our List of CNC Equipment

Overhead Cranes

Overhead Cranes play a crucial role in our CNC machining shop. They are used for handling heavy raw materials like large metal stock, lifting heavy parts into our precision CNC machines, and transporting large finished parts. One of the primary benefits of using overhead cranes is their ability to move materials much faster than manual labor or floor-based equipment, often working up to two to three times more efficiently.

RAM Tool owns 35 Overhead Cranes in our facility which helps us increase productivity, reduce downtime, and maintain safety for our workers. Our list of 35 Overhead Cranes includes ten Shaw-Box 5-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoists and twenty-five Shaw-Box 10-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoists.

Wire Rope Hoists

Shaw-Box 5-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoist

The Shaw-Box 5-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoist is engineered for medium-duty lifting applications. With a lifting capacity of 5 tons, this hoist is electric-powered, ensuring efficient operation and reliable performance.

Shaw-Box 10-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoist

The Shaw-Box 10-Ton Wire Rope Electric Chain Hoist is designed for heavy-duty lifting tasks, featuring a robust construction that supports a lifting capacity of 10 tons. This electric hoist is perfect for industrial environments that demand high performance and durability.

Presses

Fitting Presses are specialized machines used in CNC machining to assemble components with interference fits, typically applying controlled force to insert one part into another. They incorporate force and distance monitoring capabilities to ensure precise, consistent assembly and quality control during the press-fit process. RAM Tool owns one Reis TUS-130 110-Ton Hydraulic Fitting Press that we utilize to manufacture custom CNC parts.

Radial Arm Drill Presses are designed for drilling large or oddly-shaped workpieces, featuring an arm that can swing around a column and a drill head that can move along the arm. They offer extended reach, with spindle-to-column distances up to 98 inches on some models, allowing operators to work on large parts without repositioning. RAM Tool owns one IKEDA RM-1175 Radial Arm Drill Press that we utilize for custom CNC part manufacturing.

Fitting Presses

Reis TUS-130 110-Ton Hydraulic Fitting Press

The Reis TUS-130 is a 110-ton hydraulic fitting press featuring a 67-inch stroke and a clamping platen area of 53.5 inches (front-back) by 35.4 inches (left-right). This versatile machine boasts a catalog retraction force of 45.9 tons, a 180-degree swing-down ram, and an overall height of 221 inches, making it suitable for various fabrication applications.

Radial Arm Drill Presses

IKEDA RM-1175 Radial Arm Drill Press

The IKEDA RM-1175 is a heavy-duty radial arm drill press with a 4-foot arm length, 13-inch column diameter, and a powerful 7.5 HP motor capable of speeds up to 1500 RPM. It features a #5 Morse taper spindle with a 14.5-inch stroke, power feed capabilities, and a large T-slotted base, making it suitable for drilling, tapping, and boring operations in steel and cast iron workpieces.
