Wheel flow forming machine

Nihon Spindle VW1910E

By Flow-Forming the rim section of aluminum weels, it achieves the improvement of product strength and weight reduction, which is not possible by only turning process.

Main Characteristics

  • Individual Roller Control: Each roller unit features its own control axis, enabling overlapped processes for reduced cycle times.
  • Programmable Adjustments: Axial positions of each roller can be precisely adjusted via NC (numerical control) programming for enhanced flexibility.
  • Advanced Monitoring: Optional software allows for the monitoring of roller thrust and main spindle motor output, supporting both cycle time reduction and quality management.
