Finding its form

Coventry-based sheet metal and plate working machinery supplier Shear-Form Machine Tools will be exhibiting an ACF Corner former and a Haeger insertion press at MACH as part of the Metalworking Machinery Makers Association's (MMMA) pavilion. From Haeger, the latest 824 WindowTouch-3 insertion press with a Multi-Shuttle single tooling platform, supplied as standard, will be exhibited. The tooling platform is designed for standard and made to order tooling, providing a quick and easy solution to toll changeover between nuts, studs and stand-offs, enabling the user to make changeovers in around two minutes without the need for re-alignment. Also on show is an ACF ‘Multiflex' Cornerformer, which is specifically designed to form corners on electrical cabinet doors, computer casings, trays, lids, oven doors, furniture, suitcase covers, cladding, bottom pans for humidifiers as well as traffic and other signs. Its tooling design gives the operator flexibility in individual door fabrication regardless of the material being used, the thickness of the material or the flange height of the door and there is no panel or door size limitation. Multiflex is designed for small and large workshops and produces a high quality and consistent product eliminating the need for welding and finishing work such as grinding. It can form four closed corners of a single zinc coated mild steel door in around 60 seconds. There will also be information on the complete range of coil processing equipment from Dimeco Alipresse including its flexible, programmable ‘Flexipunch' equipped with Simo-Star Microfeed servo drive feeder for multi-axis control of tooling and a press feeding system for automatic line speed regulation and optimum press synchronisation. Information will also be available on Dimeco's latest ECODRIVE-2 roll feeder, part of a servo drive package for roll feeders and specially designed for companies wishing to automate existing press equipment and wanting the advantages of a servo-roll feeder for the cost of an air feed drive. ECODRIVE-2 roll feeders are able to operate at maximum 300spm for coil strips ranging from 0.1mm to 6mm thick and in widths up to 1,020mm wide. Shear-Form Machine Tools
