Advantages and Features

• Precision Replacement for Manual Labor: The machine allows for clean, fast, and quiet metal forming, replacing the noisy and tedious process of manual beating and stretching with a hammer.

• Dual Primary Functions: Ability to perform shrinking to create convex shapes and stretching to create concave shapes without heating the material.

• Tool Versatility: Thanks to a quick-change system, the machine can use inserts for notching, punching, edging, and standard forming.

• Adjustable Working Height: The machine is mounted on a stand with adjustable height, ensuring optimal ergonomics for the operator.

• Forming Control: The operator controls the forming process via a lever, where each stroke corresponds to a working cycle. This ensures step-by-step, high-precision shaping.

Standard Equipment

• Main Body: Stationary cast or welded frame with a 100 mm reach.

• Drive Mechanism: Lever-actuated manual drive with adjustable working stroke.

• Base Insert Set: Interchangeable tools for shrinking (FWA 40) and stretching (FWR 40) of metal.

• Stand: Stationary floor stand, often featuring height adjustment.

• Vertical Stop: Depth limiter for precise guidance of workpieces.

Options

• Pneumatic Drive (HF 100 PA): An optional version that replaces the manual lever with a pneumatic cylinder, providing semi-automatic operation with a stroke frequency of approximately 100–180 strokes/min.

• Specialized Tools: Sets for punching holes, notching, edging, or specialized "no-marr" jaws for surface protection.

• Clinching Tools: Additional inserts for the seamless joining of sheets.
