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.

FAQ – Questions Answers
What type of connections can the Segment Former SF25 make?
The Segment Former SF25 specializes in the production of positive connections. These include pressing for better strain relief, anti-rotation or shielding of components.
For which diameters and wall thicknesses is the SF25 suitable?
The Segment Former SF25 can process rotationally symmetrical components with a diameter of 3 to 25 mm. The possible wall thicknesses are between 0.2 mm and approx. 1.0 mm, whereby a reinforced version can also process up to 2.0 mm, depending on the material.
What are the typical applications for the SF25?
A typical application is the mechanical securing and sealing of connection lines in sensor sleeves against being pulled out. It is also possible to flange connectors into sensor housings or to press pipes, pipe ends, sleeves and fittings.
Does the Segment Former SF25 require compressed air for operation?
No, the Segment Former SF25 does not require compressed air for its operation.
What is the repeatability of the SF25?
The Segment Former SF25 is characterized by a high repeatability of ±0.05 mm, which guarantees a consistently high quality of the connections.
Is the SF25 also suitable for use in small workshops or mobile applications?
Yes, the Segment Former SF25 is also available in a “Compact” version, which is designed to save space and is ideal for small workshops or mobile applications.
What safety features does the SF25 offer?
The SF25 has covered drive mechanics, forming heads secured by covers or protective tubes and is optionally available with light grids. An emergency stop button is also available.
