An all-rounder in the wire processing sector
Wafios has supplemented the FMU line of wire bending and
forming centres with the new FMU 0.7, designed to process
spring steel wire according to DIN EN 10 270 in the bottom
diameter range between 0.15mm and 0.8mm. Thus the complete
FMU line covers a diameter range from 0.15mm to 6.5mm.
The FMU 0.7 can process round and profiled wire. Torsion
springs, tension springs with loops (according to DIN 2097)
and bent parts for the automotive industry can be produced
on the FMU 0.7. In the electronic industry, the FMU 0.7 is used
for the economical production of spiral-wound filaments
made of tungsten wire, for the production of coils made of
enamel-insulated copper wire and for bent parts made of copper
or aluminium alloys for power distribution systems.
The flexibility of FMU 0.7 encourages creativity, and a broad
range of bent wire parts can very easily be produced, including
eyeglass rims, bridges and ear pieces made of titanium-base
alloys, body piercing jewellery of silver, gold and titanium alloys
and bent parts for the medical industry.
For programming the FMU 0.7, the established Wafios
Programming System 3 (WPS 3) is installed.
Production techniques and processes are the same for the entire
machine line so operating personnel have only to learn them
once to apply them to all five machine sizes. Identical production
and operating processes thus provide high investment security
and increase process safety.
