ACF corner press
Possible applications
Cold forming corners with the ACF corner press is flexible and easy to use for:
- Any malleable material / sheet metal with any surface finish
- Material thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm
- Flexible flange heights for traffic signs, doors, panels, etc.
- No size restrictions for individual parts
These options make welding corners unnecessary! The flexible corner forming machine ACF CORNERFORMER is the perfect equipment for unrivalled quality in machine-produced corners.
Design options for machine-formed corners
Corner angle: minimum 60° to maximum 150°
Corner radii: minimum 2 mm to maximum 100 mm
Individual recesses
Special corner shapes
Advantages of machine-formed corners
The advantages of a machine-made corner compared to a welded corner are as follows:
- Excellent and consistent quality of cold-formed corners in all formable sheets
- Time savings through simplified production processes (fewer work steps / less intermediate storage)
- Cost savings through higher performance, fewer personnel, elimination of abrasives and welding consumables
Special advantages of our corner press for:
Galvanised sheet steel
The zinc coating is pressed into the material during cold forming, providing better protection against rust, even without paint protection. Neither zinc spray nor manual zinc coating is required.
Sheet steel – for porcelain enamelling
The finished corner is resistant to high temperatures (above 960 °C). Smooth surfaces on finished corners ensure optimum enamel coating flow and thus the highest quality of the finished corner.
Stainless steel – every specification
No change in colour on the material surface! This means that no pickling or grinding by hand is necessary in the corner area. The interior of the cold-formed corner is precisely shaped, smooth and clean. No rust forms – even after years of use, there are no cleaning problems. These are key factors for compliance with hygiene standards in the food industry!
