Orbital Machines

Bench Machines

Orbital bench machines are modular with a flexible design - components can be added. The capacity, precision, and speed required determine if machines are powered by pneumatics, hydraulics, or servo.

Optimum Use:

  • Minimal rivet shank swell
  • Works with delicate products
  • Controllable forming process
  • Can form a vast array of materials

Special Considerations:

  • Can use pneumatic, hydraulic or servo powerheads
  • Aesthetically appealing finished form
  • Articulating and fixed joints
  • Multiple peen configurations for variety of head forms
Pedestal Machines

Pedestal floor-standing machines include an orbital head and additional components. Depending on the required capacity, precision, and speed, machines can be powered by pneumatics, hydraulics, or servo.

Optimum Use:

  • Minimal rivet shank swell
  • Works with delicate products
  • Controllable forming process
  • Can form a vast array of materials

Special Considerations:

  • Can use pneumatic, hydraulic or servo powerheads
  • Aesthetically appealing finished form
  • Articulating and fixed joints
  • Multiple peen configurations for variety of head forms

Options:

  • Servo Adjustable Hard Stop: Automatically set the stroke length with a servo and adjust stroke between cycles
  • Offset Motor Mount: Offset the motor from the powerhead, freeing up space for more mounting options or process monitoring
  • Clutch Brake: Stop the spindle from spinning without shutting down the powerhead motor
  • Gear Reducer: Finely tune your powerhead speed to better control the process
  • Programmable Height Sensing Pressure Pad: Work with other process monitoring to provide precision when compressing stacked parts
  • LVDT Stroke Monitoring: Monitor stroke distance and increase precision and consistent head forming
  • Anti-Rotate Device: Keep the peen from rotating
  • Loadcell Force Monitoring: Force readouts and process optimization
  • Remote Stroke Adjust: Allows for access to the stroke adjust knob when the standard location is difficult to reach
  • Through Spindle Pressure Pad for Roller Heads Compress part prior to forming to ensure proper assembly and maintain consistency
