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
