Electric coil form machine

BURR Oak Tool Inc offers an electric coil form machine for producing bends in single row coils or multiple single-row coils joined at one end. This machine handles round and flat-tube coils up to 60" wide and three metres long for large commercial HVAC/R applications. A single, vertically oriented bend arbor produces one, two or three 90° bends, creating L-, U- or box-shaped coils.  This coil form machine is all electric, offering lower energy consumption, greater precision and lower maintenance than hydraulic machines. RFID matches part
