Cornerformers for 0.5 to 1.2 thick material
The Multiflex MF25, MF50 and MF100 Cornerformers enables fabricators to cold form corners in thin mild steel or stainless steel with material thicknesses ranging from 0.5 – 1.2 mm.
They have been specially designed for manufacturers of medical equipment, steel furniture, shelving, kitchen appliances and other white goods, where thin materials are commonly used in the fabrication of products.
From smallest part size of 60 mm by 60 mm up to any part size, only the corner of the part is in the cornerformer when forming corners.
As with all ACF flexible tooling, a closed corner can be formed in about 13 seconds, including all manual part handling time. This produces a total cycle time for a finished part (4 corners formed and sheared) of 52 sec.
Robot handling of parts on cornerformers is also possible.
