Parts and components manufacturer, Rotaform GmbH, will exhibit the latest developments and trends from different industries, and will present the versatile technique of cold forming with a whole range of forming possibilities. Weight-saving due to the use of tubular workpieces is in high demand in applications such as automotive, aviation, optics, medical technology, heating and air conditioning, electrical and domestic equipment. In addition to the cold forming method, other processes like turning and punching are used for production. With stages including surface refining, heat treatment, joint operations and assembly, Rotaform completes the component. The company is equipped to manufacture forming parts in small and large batches.

straightening of the tubes up to the ends, which increases the yield of the tube mills. Individual automatic tube treatment is made very easy via integrated NDT testing lines, which are interfaced in the material flow and data communication prior to the cut-off line. The bad ends and necessary production/fixed length can be optimised and cut according to the results from the testing section. The variable tube positioning allows individual tube handling and saves material. Tool costs for cutting can be saved due to the constant cutting process of the rotary cut-off machines, which are much more efficient in comparison to carbide saws with interrupted cut and long blade change times. Reika will present the new high-speed cutting centres based on reliable standard components, branded Compact. The machinery is capable of an output up to 2,000 parts/hour in accurate length tolerance, to automotive industry standards. Statistical process control is integrated in the Siemens CNC. The rotary tool head can be equipped either with chipless disc cutter or standard carbide inserts, reducing tool costs. The tubes are handled by gripper units, while all axes are electromechanically driven. › Reika’s straightening, finishing and cutting machines are currently in popular demand
