FLEX : Machine series for cold rolling with dies

As a result of its modular design, the FLEX machine series provides many application solutions for all types of cold rolling processes with dies. The 2 sizes of the machine base (M & L) accommodate a wide range of work pieces. The maximum rolling force of the cylinder (from 5 to 60t), the type of process (electrical or hydraulic), the spindle size, the different motor solutions of motorizations…etc. ensures flexibility to produce all types of standard profiles, Incremental®, Syncroll®, roll-finishing, densification, tubes…etc.

Main characteristics :

• A cast iron base available in 2 sizes assures optimal rigidity of the machine
• High accuracy of carriage movement as a result of the ground guideways
• Two carriers are symmetrically moved by a single hydraulic or electrical cylinder
• Spindles are rotated by gearing or direct drive shafts
• The spindle diameter is adapted to the rolling dies and applications
• Movements are controlled by PLC, numerical axis or CNC. Optional Force and Position control system for roll-finishing process
• Optional Easy taper and helix adjustment

Principle and application

• In feed, through feed or forced through-feed methods
• Possibility of multiple rolling operations in the same cycle
• Easy production changeovers
• High accessibility of the rolling station enabling adaptation of specific part fixtures and / or integration of automatic loading
