Advantages
Economic
-
Highly accurate dies means more product per square foot of stock and less scrap.
-
Achieve tooling cost savings through flexible die design. A single die is capable of meeting a large range of fin design requirements with various collar springs, stock widths and material types.
-
Hydraulic slit selector clamps (gaggle tooling) allow row selections to be made by one operator versus two to make a change in shorter time.
-
Tooling can be manufactured from special tool steels for longer tool life, minimizing sharpening requirements. This means less production downtime.
Technical
-
Flexible die design can provide collars up to 1 1/2 fins per 25.4mm.
-
Adjustable reflate station provides accurately controlled fin stack height.
-
Auto draw and reflare adjustment is available.
-
Hydraulic slip clamps provide a positive, locked position throughout operation - eliminating hand screws.
User
-
Auto slit select and hydraulic slit clamp allows for safer changeover because guards remain in place - eliminating the need to open guards and enter the machine.
-
The clamps provide a positive locked position, and the auto slit selection provides location - all operated for the operator touch screen controls.
