Flanging machine
The flanging machine from Fichter Formtec is particularly suitable for:
- Flanging metal pipes for solid and tight connections
- Producing precise flanging shapes according to DIN 74234 or SAE
- Efficient use in the automotive, aviation and food industries
Compact power for the highest demands
- Precise results: Accuracy of ± 0.1 mm in the flanging radius
- High flexibility: Max. flanging diameter up to 8 mm, wall thicknesses up to 1 mm
- Energy-efficient: Operation with 220 V mains voltage, switch-off possible between processes
- Compact: Tabletop device for space-saving use
- Fast: Up to 10 pieces per minute

Machine structure
The operation of the SF25 automatic press is very simple. The workpiece to be formed is inserted into the machining opening and usually positioned by means of a stop; it stands still while the forming jaws move axially onto the workpiece. The corresponding parameters for machining can be stored and managed in the machine control. The user interface allows simple, logical operation. All functionally important processes are electronically monitored and the data recorded in the control system. This ensures a high level of process reliability and reproducibility.
- Basic module with mounting holes for accommodating all functional components, consisting of: Basic console with holder for servo motor, gearbox and encoder
- Set-up kit available in two versions:
- Version 1: Narrow version for wall thicknesses up to 1.0 mm
- Version 2: Reinforced version for wall thicknesses from 1.0 to approx. 2.0 mm
- Forming jaws (forming tool), flat or round presses, number 6/8/12/16 possible
- Covering of the drive mechanism
- Forming head secured on both sides by cover or protective tube
- Also available with light grid, only insertion area or complete
- Emergency stop stops all movements immediately
- VIPA Speed7 PLC with operator panel Siemens TP700 comfort; S7 and TIA-Portal V13
- Data records can be selected via the operator panel (optionally via barcode scanner)
- Database for product-specific parameters
- Three access levels for machine control (operator, service and administrator)
- Language freely selectable, standard in German and English, other languages at an additional cost
- Switch cabinet mounted in the frame
- Acceptance of all machine components
- Steel frame welded and coated with 4 rotating rollers, 2 with locking brake
- Optional made of aluminum system profile
- Documentation, hazard analysis, CE mark
Optional components / attachments
The standard SegmentFormer SF25 can be equipped with various optional attachments and functions. This makes it possible, for example, to expand the machine into a semi-automatic press with process monitoring.
- Position stop is moved manually to the position
- one position possible for each data record
- Position queried via encoder and displayed on OP
- Component position is sensorially detected at the position stop
- Machine is started automatically or with a foot switch

- Freely programmable sentence sequence (max. 30 commands per data record)
- several pressing positions programmable in one data record
- Stop is moved motorically to the stop position by selecting the data record
- Position is displayed on OP
- Component position is sensorially detected at the position stop
- Machine is started automatically or with a foot switch

- Force transducer integrated in the toggle lever determines forces occurring in the lever
- Graphical output of the forces on a separate measuring device
- OK and not OK evaluation

- Table top mounted on height-adjustable columns
- Height adjustability up to 300mm
- 4 rotating rollers, 2 with locking brake

- Securing free access to the assembly of the SegmentFormer.
- With obstacle detection
- Initial acceptance carried out

- Adaptation of the machine according to customer requirements.
- Integration of the machine as a sub-station in complete systems possible
- Further alternatives are conceivable
