Advantages and Features

• Two Operating Modes:

  • Continuous Stroke: For fast and comfortable forming of large areas and creating general curvature.

  • Single Stroke: Ideal for precise correction work, fitting, as well as clinching, punching, and notching operations.

• High Productivity: Thanks to the pneumatic drive, the machine provides a high stroke frequency—up to 250 strokes/min, significantly accelerating the forming process.

• Increased Working Space: Compared to smaller models, the KF 170 PD has a generous horizontal reach of 170 mm and a vertical height of 146 mm, allowing for the processing of larger components.

• Precision Adjustment:

  • Stroke Length Adjustment: The stroke can be set between 2–6 mm in increments of 0.05 mm for extremely sensitive control of the forming process.

  • Ram Position Adjustment: Allows for setting the starting position of the upper ram to compensate for different tool heights and save setup time.

• Power: A significant ram force of up to 60 kN allows for confident work with thick sheets and stainless steel.

Standard Equipment

• KF 170 PD Machine: Main cast frame with integrated pneumatic drive.

• Floor Stand: Robust stand, often equipped with wheels for mobility and height adjustment.

• Control System: Interface for switching between single/continuous stroke modes and adjusting pneumatic parameters.

• Foot Pedal: For convenient control of the forming process, freeing the operator's hands.

• Quick-Change Tool System: Fastening system for rapid transitions between different functions (shrinking, stretching, clinching).

Options

• Tool Sets:

  • HSR/HFL: Specialized tools for shrinking and stretching U-shaped profiles.

  • Clinching Sets: For joining metal sheets without welding.

  • Punching/Notching Tools: For precision hole and slot creation.

  • Planishing/Doming Dies: Used for surface smoothing and polishing after forming.

• Specialized "No-Marr" Tools: Inserts with synthetic overlays for working with delicate materials (e.g., polished aluminum) without surface damage.

• Additional Stops and Guides: For serial production and ensuring repeatability.
