Universal Forming Machine MultiFormer Eckold MF 800


Eckold MultiFormer MF 800 is a high-precision, multifunctional machine for cold sheet metal processing. It is the ideal solution for professional craftsmen, restoration shops, and small-scale manufacturers specializing in the production of large-scale curved components.

  • Primary Function: Multi-operational sheet metal forming: Wheeling (English Wheel), Planishing, Shrinking, and Stretching.

  • Field of Application: Manufacturing and repair of large-scale body panels (hoods, fenders, door panels), motorcycle fuel tanks, and aerospace components.

  • Key Advantage: The largest horizontal reach in this series, allowing for work with exceptionally large workpieces.

Modularity and Configurations

Similar to the MF 500, the MF 800 is built on a single, robust C-frame. Thanks to a quick-change module system, it can be converted into various types of equipment:

Configuration Function Typical Kit Contents
MF 800 Kit 1 (Base) Wheeling MF 800 English Wheel, set of 6 lower rolls (anvils), mobile stand.
MF 800 Kit 2 (Full) Wheeling + Shrinking/Stretching Kit 1 + Manual Handformer HF 100 (recommended for full functionality).
MF 800 GL 2 (Optional) Planishing Additional kit for integrating the GL 2 pneumatic planishing hammer.

Design Features and Advantages

  • Mobility and Stability:

    • Equipped with wheels for easy movement across the workshop despite its significant weight.

    • The rigid construction ensures the necessary stability required when working with a large reach.

  • Advanced Wheeling Capabilities:

    • Rolls: The set typically includes one upper roll and six lower rolls of varying radii to create different degrees of curvature.

    • Angle Adjustment: Ability to rotate the rolls and their supports by 90° and adjust the angular position for maximum convenience when working with complex shapes.

  • Ergonomics:

    • A wide tooling tray keeps the workspace organized and ensures quick access to inserts.

    • Roll pressure is typically controlled via a foot-operated wheel or manual mechanism, freeing the operator's hands.

  • Kit Options:

    • Kit 1 may also include a sandbag for initial forming, height-adjustable pivoting vices, and wooden/leather mallets for blocking and finishing.

    • Kit 2 adds the HF 100 Handformer, turning the machine into a complete "forming workshop."
