Leifeld FFC 400 FLOW FORMING AND PROFILING

FLOW FORMING AND PROFILING LEIFELD FFC 400 : THE HOME OF FORWARD-LOOKING TECHNOLOGY

Our new flow forming and profiling machines are ready to meet the automotive industrys growing demands. Growing demands łor technology, materials and components require sophisticated processes. The rapid speed of gearbox development is a good example, with different development approaches existing worldwide: CVT transmissions in Asia, automatic torque converter transmissions in the USA and dual clutch transmissions in Europe. Leilelds engineers are concerned with the automotive engineering of tomorrow. With our test center having a well equipped inspection room and our team of service engineers, new innovations can be directly tested and developed in co-operation with customers. Leifeld 
verse processes have already shaped many automotive parts - from pulleys with hub to multi-disc carriers and through to hollow shafts and housing components.minimal resources, works to near-net-shape manufacture, has low production costs and benełits łrom significantly reduced manufacturingtimes versus machining processes Leifeld uses customised machines to form complex components in a single clamping if possible. Many different shaping tasks can be completed, including flow forming inner toothing, splitting round blanking plate edges for the production of double housings, seam beading, the profiling of a seal groove, bordering or
thickening for edge reinforcement, the deep-drawing with flow forming of
FLOW FORMING: NEAR-NET-SHAPE, FLEXIBLE AND COST-AWARE The Flow Forming Center FFC provides access to advanced technology. The high performance machine concept has been designed for single set-up, multi-operation chipless forming of short, hollow components. Axial flow forming can now be combined in shaping internal teeth and radial columns, profiling, beading and
rolling of external teeth as well as deep drawing with flow
forming for hub forming. Special łeature: The vertical machine design includes a spacious work area and triple access to allow fast and safe material flow. The slim design is space saving and ensures good accesibility at the time of tool replacement. The machine can be flexibly integrated into a production line. Two robots caп also synchronously load and unload the machine, which together
with excellent forming capabilities provides the shortest possible production cycle times.
