Automatic Flexible Pole Machine Leifeld AFPM Series
The LEIFELD AFPM Series with the Software Flow Spin 4.0 combines the sophisticated, market proven necking-in and flow-forming technology in one hybrid machine. Whether conical, cylindrical or even stepped profiles - the innovative process, the so-called “drawing-in on a movable inner mandrel“ creates a wide range of possible applications, especially for the production of different contours and shapes for long tubes.
The chipless forming technology is protected by a worldwide patent. Compared to conventional technologies, weight savings of up to 35 % are possible. The result is quite impressive: more stable, light-weight and durable poles or similar products.
Main Characteristics
High-performance machine in extremely stress-resistant construction
Main machine on rigid, torsion-resistant, welded machine bed
Lower tooling costs and setup times
Automatic integrated machine loading and unloading
New Flow Spin 4.0 software for programming support, can also be used offline
Reduced material input achievable by influencing wall thicknesses
Two or three poles can be produced in one set-up (twin or triple poles)
Free choice of contours in pole production
Requires neither heat treatment nor welding together of individual parts
