Advantages and Features

• Two-Handed Operation: The PA 100 pneumatic drive is activated by a foot pedal, allowing the operator to use both hands to precisely hold and guide large or complex parts. This significantly increases accuracy and safety when working with oversized workpieces.

• Adjustable Impact Force: The pedal does not just act as an on/off switch; a light press triggers a stroke with limited force, while a full press releases the drive's total power. This ensures surgical precision during forming.

• Overload Prevention: The machine is equipped with an integrated safety valve that protects the tools (inserts) from overload and damage.

• Kraftformer Versatility: Each press of the pedal corresponds to a single stroke (Single Stroke), allowing for step-by-step and accurate shaping. The pneumatic drive can reach a frequency of 100–180 strokes/min.

• Expanded Functionality: Like the base model, the HF 100 PA features a quick-change insert system, allowing for hole punching, notching, and edging in addition to primary forming.

Standard Equipment

• HF 100 PA Forming Machine: Stationary body with a 100 mm reach.

• PA 100 Pneumatic Drive: Integrated pneumatic device.

• Control Pedal: Foot switch for activating the working stroke and adjusting force.

• Height-Adjustable Stand: Floor stand with adjustable working height.

• Tool Tray: Integrated shelves for convenient storage of interchangeable forming inserts.

• Base Insert Set: Changeable tools for shrinking (FWA) and stretching (FWR).

Options

• Clinching Tools: Specialized sets for joining sheets without welding.

• Punching/Notching Sets: Tools for creating slots, holes, and figured cutouts.

• Specialized Forming Tools:

  • HLR (Beak-shaped stretching tool): For stretching U-profiles with low wall height.

  • Synthetic Overlays: Inserts for forming without surface damage (e.g., for aluminum and stainless steel).

• Depth Limiter: Adjustable stop for precise workpiece positioning during serial work.
