Sacma offers the only production proven, fully integrated Warm Former available for the high efficiency production of high tensile strength materials like those used in aerospace and high temperature applications. Combining the state of the art controls and automatic support systems with the advanced induction heating units heats the wire to the center to give very precise control of the material deformation for forming consistent near net part shapes with repeatable tolerances.
The Warm Formers are equipped with a set of standard features permitting to manage the production automatically by PLC and interface Touch Screen panel control with dual Induction coil up to 150kW; spot heating coil when it is necessary to heat only the wire portion to be caulked; coolant liquid system for the cut-off station, die block, and frame; thermoregulation system for automatic heating or cooling the machine for optimal operation temperature from startup and throughout the production run; integrated fire extinguishing system, with flame detection sensors and CO2 spray nozzles; automatic motorized adjustments of the positioning of the stock gage tip and of the threaded sleeve, allowing corrections of the cut-off blank length and of the position of the die ejector pins, during production without stopping the machine; touch Screen Controls for the settings control & full monitoring of the heating, thermoregulation and machine systems; S-Feed wire feeder for precision length control & automatic retraction of the wire from the induction coils when the machine stops.
The Warm Formers are the result of a concentration of best technologies applied to headers to create the most precise and reliable machine available for the Aerospace and Automotive Fastener Industries.
