➣➢➣The ulimat range of wire forming and
welding machines is used for the
manufacture of wire products such as
refrigerator/cooker shelves, point of
sale displays, store fittings, air filter
frames, automotive products and
more.
The ultimat umw series of two axis
wire forming and welding machines
feature a robust, modern, modular
design and user-friendly Windows-
based software. Comprising six
standard models for processing wire
ranging from 2 to 16mm, all ultimat
models use a closed die forming and
cutting system, which produces
high-quality bends with square,
burr-free cuts.
The versatile design negates the need
for special tooling to produce
high-quality parts and components.
Options include versions for use with
flat strip or profiled wire, press and
chamfering solutions, and secondary
bend heads for intricate forms with a
tilting table to accommodate large
components or for forming spirals.
Ultimate Automation also manufactures
special-purpose machines to suit
customers’ specific requirements, such
as the ucw crosswire welding machines
for the automatic welding of crosswire
into rectangular frames used by
manufacturers of air filter frames and
refrigerator shelving.

The reliable spring and wire forming
system has been on the market for
years and sets standards when it
comes to performance and variety of
parts. The new tool technology and
Easyway control software make for
more productivity and high operating
convenience. With the multi-e cut
installed in the FUL 56 compression
spring coiler, WAFIOS presents for the
first time a development to an
international audience which enables
the individual adjustment of the
cutting ellipse to different production
requirements.
The FUL line features high production
output and machine availability as well
as quality standards that enable
zero-defect production.
In the wire bending area, WAFIOS
uses this important Asian industrial fair
for presenting a novelty. The CNC
coiling and bending machine BM 60
closes the gap in the operating range
up to 13mm between the BM 50 and
BM 90 machines.
The BM 61L and the BMU 6 will
replace two machines from the current
machinery range. This machine line
features an extremely stable and
process-safe overall system, high
operating convenience and a highly
flexible machine concept. Typical
fields of application for bent parts in
the spring steel area are torsions bars
for the automotive industry.
