Leifeld CNC Profiling Spinning Machines

Radial forming represents a cost-effective alternative to casting and machining for the production of pulleys. Through continuous grain flow and material compaction, strength and hardness are increased, thus saving both material and cost.

The numerous process variants can basically be grouped under the headings of splitting, folding and rolling. In all cases, the sequence of operations is similar and comprises a combination of process steps. A disc blank or a preformed cup is formed in a single cycle whereby the various steps are carried out using specially profiled rollers.
