• Advantages

  Economic

  • Highly accurate dies mean more product per square foot of stock and less scrap.
  • Flexible die designs mean lower tooling costs. A single die is capable of meeting a large range of fin design requirements with various collar spacings, stock widths and material types.
  • Hydraulic slit selector clamps (gaggable tooling) allow row selections to be made by one operator instead of two to make changes faster.
  • 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 1½ fins per 25.4 mm.
  • Adjustable reflare station provides accurately controlled fin stack height.
  • Auto draw and reflare adjustment is available.
  • Auto slit select up to 6-positions with hydraulic slit clamp.
  • Hydraulic slit 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.
  • Clamps provide a positive locked position, and the auto slit selection provides location — all operated from the operator touch screen controls.
