Advantages and Features

• Infinitely Variable Stroke Speed ($220–600\text{ strokes/min}$): This key advantage provides unsurpassed versatility:

  • Low Speed ($220\text{ strokes/min}$): Ideal for forming thicker materials (e.g., $3.0\text{ mm}$ steel), for straightening, leveling, or precision finishing.

  • High Speed ($600\text{ strokes/min}$): Accelerates stretching, doming (curving), and planishing processes, increasing productivity.

• Increased Forming Power: The KF 340 offers up to 50% more power compared to the KF 324, allowing for work with steel up to $3.0\text{ mm}$ thick (compared to $2.0\text{ mm}$ for the KF 324).

• Optimal Working Space:

  • Horizontal Reach: $340\text{ mm}$.

  • Vertical Height: $245\text{ mm}$. These dimensions ensure comfortable work with medium-sized parts, the standard for most bodywork.

• Universal "All-rounder": Due to its compatibility with a wide range of Eckold tools (for shrinking, stretching, planishing, profiling, etc.), the KF 340 is the ideal workshop machine capable of performing nearly all operations.

• Electromechanical Drive: A reliable and powerful motor that ensures constant forming force.

• Pedal/Handwheel Control: A combination of foot control (to activate the stroke) and a handwheel (for precise tool position adjustment).

Standard Equipment

• KF 340 Machine: Stationary, massive C-frame with electric drive.

• Speed Control System: Intuitive interface for infinitely variable stroke frequency adjustment.

• Ram Position Adjustment: System for precise adjustment of the ram height.

• Stand/Cabinet: Robust floor stand providing stability during work with thick materials.

• Quick-Change Tool System: Mounting for rapid replacement of Kraftformer tools.

Options

• Full Tool Set: For shrinking, stretching, doming, leveling, punching, and notching.

• Specialized "No-Mar" Tools: Featuring inserts made of soft materials for working with sensitive surfaces.

• Optional Foot Pedal: For controlling the work cycle.
