Permanent Assembly: See How It All Comes Together.
Step inside Orbitform and see how permanent assembly solutions move from the Solutions Lab through engineering, machine build, integration, validation, and support.
See working technology. Walk the shop floor. Meet the people and partners who bring complete assembly solutions together.
See Permanent Assembly From a Different Perspective
Four Reasons to Be Here
Tech Expo isn't a traditional trade show. You're stepping inside the facility where permanent assembly applications are tested, engineered, built, integrated, and supported.
01
Start in the Solutions Lab
See where permanent assembly solutions begin. Explore the processes, equipment, and expertise used to evaluate applications, develop tooling, prove processes, and determine the right approach before production equipment is built.
02
Walk the Shop Floor
See equipment at different stages of the build process in a real manufacturing environment. Get a firsthand look at how engineering, machine building, automation, and integration come together.
03
See Technology in Action
Experience Orbitform's permanent assembly processes and equipment, including a working Servo Articulating Roller Forming lab machine. See the technology operate and explore where different processes and capabilities fit.
04
Meet the Technology Partners
A complete manufacturing solution involves more than one piece of equipment. Meet the partners whose robotics, feeding, actuation, fastening, material handling, and other technologies help bring production systems together.
Our Process
How We Build It
From Application Challenge to Production Solution
At Orbitform, a permanent assembly solution doesn't start with a machine. It starts with understanding the application.
01
Solutions Lab
Identify the right process, develop tooling, prototype parts, and prove the application.
02
Engineering
Turn application requirements and process knowledge into an engineered equipment solution.
03
Machine Build
See designs become physical equipment on the Orbitform shop floor.
04
Integration
Bring forming and fastening together with robotics, feeding, controls, material handling, and supporting automation.
05
Validation
Evaluate the equipment and process before it reaches the production floor.
06
Equipment Support
Keep equipment performing after installation with parts, tooling, preventative maintenance, service, and technical support.
See the process — not just the finished machine.

Fastening & Forming
Impact · Orbital · Radial · Static Roller Forming · Articulating Roller Forming · Hot Upset · Specialty Press
See Orbitform's working Servo Articulating Roller Forming lab machine in action. Servo control expands the capabilities of articulating roller forming with programmable motion and greater control over the forming process. See the technology operate and talk with the Orbitform team about where it may fit your application.
Orbitform's automated part-loading system that keeps your machines running with consistent, unattended operation. Reduces labor, increases throughput, and eliminates the manual loading bottleneck. See the full system on display and discuss integration with your existing equipment.
These four innovations are exclusive to Orbitform — engineered in-house to solve problems competitors haven't addressed. See them in person at the Tech Expo.
Impact De-Riveting Machine
Designed to automatically remove rivets from a permanently assembled joint without damaging the surrounding components. An industry-exclusive solution for disassembly, repair, and rework applications where precision removal matters.
Impact Jaw Lowering Safety Device
A purpose-built safety innovation for impact riveting machines that controls and limits jaw descent speed — protecting operators and tooling from unexpected or uncontrolled lowering. Exclusive to Orbitform's platform.
Roller Forming Thru-Spindle Pressure Pad
The pressure pad advantage Orbitform is known for — integrated through the spindle for roller forming applications. Essential on the majority of roller forming setups, this feature is unavailable on competing platforms and eliminates the need for external hold-down mechanisms.
Bushing Flare & Flatten
An Orbitform-exclusive forming process for bushing applications that combines flaring and flattening in a single controlled cycle — achieving precise, repeatable results on bushing assemblies that conventional forming methods cannot match.
What Goes Into It
Exhibiting Partners
Permanent assembly systems bring together processes, components, automation, and expertise from across manufacturing.
At Tech Expo, meet the companies whose technologies help feed it, move it, power it, fasten it, form it, control it, and bring it all together.
