Prinzing SME 160/7P is a motorized industrial beading machine designed for forming reinforcement beads (sicken), flanges, and borders (bördeln) on sheet metal. Part of the SME lineup (motorized versions of the SM/SME series), this model combines a rigid welded steel construction, hardened and ground working rollers, and the capability for infinitely variable processing speed. The SME 160/7P is optimized for thin to medium-gauge sheets—typically up to 4.00 mm for steel with a yield strength of 400 N/mm2—with a working depth (throat reach) of 750 mm.
Advantages and Features
Motorized Drive with Variable Speed: Offers infinitely variable speed control (0–20 m/min) and reverse capability, allowing for the selection of optimal modes for both delicate and high-speed operations.
Parallel Upper Shaft Adjustment: Combined with rigid, hardened, and ground working rollers, this ensures high profile repeatability and minimal tool wear.
Robust Welded Steel Frame: Features floor-mounting holes for increased stability during intensive industrial use.
Compact Footprint with Professional Reach: Provides sufficient "throat depth" for most HVAC and housing components; standard roller seats allow for rapid tool changes.
Optional PLC and Touch Screen Control: Ability to store up to 200 programs, which is ideal for repetitive serial operations and minimizing setup times.
Standard Equipment
Welded steel frame; hardened and ground working rollers.
Manual upper shaft feed (via handwheel) and manual axial adjustment of the lower shaft.
Hardened stop plate (with manual axial adjustment).
Electrical safety system with an emergency stop button (NOT-HALT).
Wrench for rapid roller replacement; floor-mounting preparation (stand with anchor holes).
Basic electrical connection and simple foot/hand motor control (400 V/50 Hz standard—regional variants available).
Options (Recommended and Available)
Motorized Upper Shaft Adjustment: Provides infinitely variable motorized adjustment for fast and precise setting during serial production.
PLC Control System with Touch Screen: Storage for up to 200 programs; highly convenient for frequent production changeovers.
Centralized Lubrication: Manual pump system that reduces maintenance time and extends bearing service life.
Divided (Sectional) Stop: For processing complex workpiece geometries and ensuring precise positioning.
Lower Axis Support: For intensive work on pipe ends, along with specialized hardened/treated forming rollers, centering discs, and adjustable workpiece guides.
