Eckold Kraftformer KF 470 Medium is the second-largest machine in the Kraftformer series, engineered for industrial applications requiring the processing of large and thick components. It combines exceptional structural rigidity, a large reach, and precision servo-control (unlike the manual handwheel control on the KF 324). This allows for high repeatability and extreme forming precision, even when working with thick steel (3.0 mm).
Purpose: Comprehensive cold forming (shrinking, stretching, straightening, doming, planishing) of large components with high precision.
Field of Application: Aerospace and railway industries (manufacturing and repair of large-scale skins), and shipbuilding.
Class: Industrial, high-precision, motorized Kraftformer with medium reach.
Advantages and Features
Large Working Space: The KF 470 features one of the most generous reaches in the lineup:
Horizontal Reach: 460 mm.
Vertical Height: 475 mm. These dimensions facilitate the easy processing of oversized parts typical in aircraft and railway carriage manufacturing.
High Power and Productivity: Capable of forming mild steel up to 3.0 mm and aluminum up to 4.0 mm.
Servo Drive and Digital Precision:
Control System: An electronic control display visualizes operating functions, fault diagnostics, and maintenance intervals.
Programming: Ability to store up to 4 (or more, depending on configuration) processing programs to ensure perfect repeatability of results.
Adjustment Accuracy: The servo drive guarantees a repetition accuracy of 0.1 mm.
Dual Stroke Speeds: The operator can choose between two pre-set stroke speeds (e.g., 300/600 strokes/min) to optimize the process (lower speed for thick material, higher for planishing).
Ram Adjustment: A 60 mm adjustment range via a geared motor allows for quick and precise adaptation of the machine to different tools and material thicknesses.
Standard Equipment
Massive Stationary Frame: Rigid C-frame construction designed to handle high pressing forces.
Electronic Control Panel: Featuring a display for parameters, diagnostics, and program selection.
Speed Selection System: Choice of two stroke speeds (300/600 strokes/min).
Electromechanical Servo Drive: Ensures high precision and reliability.
Motorized Upper Ram Height Adjustment: 60 mm adjustment with 0.1 mm precision.
Quick-Change Tool System: Standard Kraftformer mounting for inserts.
Options
Expanded Tool Set: The widest range of Eckold tools for all operations (shrinking, stretching, doming, profiling, planishing, leveling).
Specialized Profile Tools: Tools for processing tubes, U-channels, Z-profiles, and other complex geometries.
"No-Mar" Tools (Synthetic): For finishing without damaging the surface of sensitive materials (e.g., polished aluminum).
Adjustable Reverse Position: Option to optimize work with various material thicknesses and minimize idle stroke time.
Expanded Program Memory: Ability to store a larger number of programs for serial production.
Control Pedal: For activating the forming cycle.
