Tube end forming machine delivering progressive ram forming operations.
Overview
The profiled forming tools are slotted onto a rotary drum. The drum is indexed mechanically using a Geneva drive which provides accurate indexing and smooth sinuous acceleration profile. This is driven by a reversible AC geared motor.
The vice hydraulically driven and arranged in an open-sided manner allowing acutely bent tubes to gripped without fouling the machine body.
The forming operation is hydraulically driven. The position of the tool measured using a linear transducer which does not require homing before use. The position is operated in a closed loop control with a servo-proportional valve.
Operation of the machine is by two hand control; push buttons to the front of the machine and a touch screen HMI. Tool position, indexing order are programmable from the touchscreen
Main Features and Benefits
Rotary Tool Carousel
Reduces machine size overall giving more flexibility in production environments
Maximum indexing moves to any given tool is ½ of a linear tool rack
Tool stations
Allows multiple jobs to be tooled up on the machine at one time
Quick Change Tooling;
Tube Vice Grippers and push tooling require 1 bolt to retain
All tool components are slide in and self aligning.
Open sided vice;
allows end forming on acutely bent tubes
Optional Rotary Forming
Allows flare forming or deburring tools to be included within the process sequence
Compact Foot print
Valuable floor space is saved compared to horizontal shuttle progressive ram forming machines
