For more than 40 years, we have been building highly efficient machines and continuously developing new processes and products for our customers, on the firm basis of our skill and expertise in metal forming.
Our customers can be found around the globe, primarily in the automotive industry, in aerospace and in energy/environmental technology.
We are the only supplier in this field with a highly capable test and development department, where experienced application engineers work on our own and on customer-specific developments. In the course of the years, these activities have generated more than 70 patents.
We cooperate closely with steel producers and renowned research institutions to assure the continuous improvement of our machines and forming processes.
Vertical 4-roller spinning machines for producing aluminum wheels
The vertical spinning machines type VFM 600 and VFM 800 are particularly designed for producing aluminum wheels starting from forged or cast preforms. Said machines possess 4 forming rollers which may be programmed independently from each other. The resulting design with a total of 8 CNC axes permits extremely short setting times. In connection with the amply dimensioned and easily accessible working range, set-up times are reduced to a minimum. Manual adjustments are not required. Loading the machines, for example, may be achieved through a robot with double gripper. After forming, the first gripper unloads the completed workpiece and the new preform is placed onto the tool in the same operation. Preforms and completed rims may be picked up or deposited outside the machine at any defined point of supply
