Segment Former SF25
The SF25 automatic press – Segment Former – is particularly suitable for:
- Crimping / pressing sleeves with cables or hoses
- Crimping / pressing housings with connectors
- Crimping / pressing hoses and pipes
- Crimping / pressing sensors with cables
Compact standard solution for precise forming of small workpieces. Ideal for individual parts small series.
With the motorized press, you can achieve a form-fitting connection, among other things, for better strain relief, anti-rotation protection or shielding
For processors of rotationally symmetrical components, the Segment Former SF25 represents a consistent further development of existing systems for pressing pipes, pipe ends, sleeves, housings, fittings and many other applications.
A typical application, for example, is to mechanically secure connecting cables in sensor sleeves against being pulled out and to seal them at the same time. In addition, this process can be used to flange connectors into sensor housings and much more. Wall thicknesses from 0.2 mm up to approx. 1.0 mm with a diameter of 3 to 25 mm are possible, depending on the material.

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 is 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

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 per 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 castors, 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
