Products : Spinforming Machines :
2-Roll, 4-Axis Hot Spinformer (Electric)

Purpose

This machine will spinform heated tubes to a predetermined concentric contour.

Description

This machine is equipped with a high-speed headstock assembly including a recirculating headstock lube system and is equipped with a spindle nose fitted with a part work holding chuck.

Two opposing two-axis roller slide assemblies are positioned 90 degrees from the spindle axis to aid in programming during the development of new part profiles. The slides are actuated by electric servo motors. A forming roller assembly is mounted on each roller slide assembly.

An induction heating system heats the tube to the temperatures required for the hot spinforming process.

Interchangeable tooling allows rapid changeover for various part configurations.

This machine uses a CNC control system for easy programming and rapid part profile changeover. A detailed error messaging system is included in the CNC for troubleshooting machine functions.
