Formtek recently shipped two Tishken MLW Series Medium Light Duty Roll Forming Systems complete with sheet destackers, roll forming machines, and conveyors as part of a new product launch to a major metal furniture manufacturer. The destackers and incoming conveyors employ the latest double sheet protection to ensure that two sheets do not go through the roll forming machines. Formtek was happy to work with this company to accomplish their goals. The control system is designed so that the operator removing the part at the end of the line automatically signals the destacker to drop the next blank into the roll forming machine. In theory, the operator never needs to wait for the next part.
The Product
The Tishken MLW Series Medium Light Duty Roll Forming Systems are used for forming medium light sections that are slightly wider and slightly deeper than the light series. These machines may be applied efficiently and economically for low as well as high production jobs. The close horizontal distance of roll spindles permits easier forming of pre-notched stock into complicated of irregular shapes. Common products produced on MLW Series roll formers include roll-up garage doors and vinyl window stiffeners. To read more about this product visit the product page.
