WF Machinery, Inc. North America HDC 700 Flow-Forming Machine

With the development and construction of their new, 75 tons heavy HDC 700, WF Maschinenbau have managed to once again considerably outperform their hitherto largest flow-forming machine HDC 600 as far as size and performance are concerned.

All in all, the new model is about 30 percent more efficient and able to produce larger clutch and transmission parts which, for example, are used in automatic transmissions of heavy construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles or monster dump trucks.

The most important technical data of the new HDC 700:

  • Round blank diameter: max. 1.000 mm
  • Workpiece diameter: max. 900 mm
  • Workpiece length: max. 800 mm
  • Thrust of flow-forming slide; horizontal: 800 kN
  • Feed force of radial slides: 500 kN
  • Overall drive rating: 400 kW
