The patented STAUFF Form tube forming system is without doubt one of the most high-performing solutions currently available on the market for connecting metric sized tubes. Apart from its simplicity, it also provides a maximum level of safety, reliability and reproducibility.
STAUFF Form has been designed as standard for seamless cold-drawn precision steel tubes as well as stainless steel tubes with dimensions between 6 x 1.5 mm and 42 x 4 mm in the Light Series and between 6 x 1.5 mm and 38 x 6 mm in the Heavy Series. Parameters for alternative materials (copper, brass, CuNiFe, Tungum etc.) can be added by the manufacturer, if required.
The type SFO-F tube forming machine facilitates the economical and most reliable production of tube ends made of steel, stainless steel and other materials with a contour typical for the STAUFF Form tube forming system.
The machine is designed as a robust table-top device for continuous operation in the workshop. It is used in connection with FI-FST tube shapers and FI-FB clamping jaws. Tube shapers with FI-ID internal tube supports are used with selected tube dimensions, which prevent the tube from being constricted in the shaping area.
Tube shapers, clamping jaws and internal tube supports have been specifically designed for the mechanical forming process and can be quickly and simply replaced without the need for any tools, if required. The resulting short tool change and set-up times contribute to the high efficiency of the system as well as ensuring low cycle times.
All the tools needed for the forming process are clearly labelled with the tube dimensions so that assembly errors caused by incorrect assignment can be largely ruled out.
