Engel HB-1640 - 16 Station TDF Machine

Manufacturer: Engel

Condition: NEW

Location: F.O.B Factory

Description:

The HB-1640 machine uses 16 roll-forming stations. There are no adjustments when going from 26 gauge to 18 gauge material; competition requires adjustments. The "short parts feeder", 6" length minimum, requires no manual adjustment and removal of machine guard when running short parts; competition does. The HB-1640 includes the Snap-Flange feature. We use high yield and tensile strength shafts for our tooling, turning in precision,factory manufactured, hardened inner races; competition uses hardened shafts - which are brittle and breakage is common. All of our gears are large 6 pitch heavy duty style. They run very quietly well below OSHA noise limits. All of our bearings are "off the shelf’ and available from local supply houses. Our machine is driven by an oil filled, sealed, gear reducer, direct coupled to the main motor and is very quiet. Competition utilizes a "V" belt drive between the main motor and their pinion gear. This drive is noisy and exposed to damage by metal chips. Our roll shafts are secured by high quality, large thrust washers. Competition uses snap rings that are less secure and an eye hazard to maintenance workers.
