FCF
FLEXIBLE COLD FORMING
Quality “Made in Germany” – benefits for the world.
Anyone who would like to economically produce shaped tubes (square/rectangular) very fast and very flexible in the dimension change will find out that SEUTHE tube welding lines with a patented forming method are technologically far ahead. The unique direct forming process eliminates material thickening in corner radii, maximizing strip material utilization. Consequently up to 10 % material can be saved by using the cage forming FCF technology. As a next step of development “retrofitting”, barcode readers as well as the use of state-of-the-art communication protocols are planned.
FEATURES
ECONOMICAL PRODUCTION OF SMALLEST QUANTITIES
SAVE MATERIAL
UP TO 10 %
Direct forming makes ideal use of strip material. With a forming focus exclusively on the corner areas thickening of the strip material is avoided.
REDUCE INVENTORY
UP TO 50 %
Automated roll adjustment brings very high flexibility. Small batches can also be produced profitably, efficiently and just in time.
BOOST PRODUCTION
UP TO 80 %
One set of universal tool rolls is used over the entire range of the mill. This results in extremely short set-up times since there is no need to exchange the rolls. Rolls are automatically positioned for the new dimensions using a recipe system.
