The flow forming center is particularly suitable for rolling out cylindrical rings which are then finish-formed to weight-optimised passenger car rim rings. Starting parts are cylindrical rings round-bent from a sheet strip, butt welded, burred and expand-calibrated.
Main Characteristics
Fast changeover due to automatic mandrel clamping device and/or roller clamping device, as well as horizontal machine design
Low space requirement
Shorter cycle times due to integrated loading system
Flexible material flow by use of robots
Wall thickness measuring station for compensation of thickness variations in the material batch
No additional trimming required
Speed-regulated roller drives reduce wear on the spinning rollers
