Cold forming machinery
for fasteners
PumaFX is a new Formax® cold
former from National Machinery
LLC. National Machinery is
well known as a developer of
cold former machinery, with
thousands of machines in
operation around the world.
The PumaFX is equipped with
the same production-proven
features – such as linear feed,
zero clearance heading slide
guidance, straight-across trans-
fer and sealed heading slide
liners – as the original Formax.
PumaFX, available in a range of sizes, is based on simplicity so it does not
include quick change features and options are minimal. The series was created
to appeal to the standard segment of the fastener market, yet still have the
tolerance for precise parts. In this market segment cost and speed are critical
as longer production runs are normal. The PumaFX series is described as a
true combination of speed at a reasonable cost.
The Formax machines are built by National Machinery’s 100% owned
subsidiary NM Group Technologies in Suzhou, PR China.
