Product overviewVertical-axis transfer machine for the production of balls for ball valves in various materials, including lead-free brass and stainless steel. Option to feed and cut bars directly from a bundle increases system efficiency.
Key features- Turning and diamond cutting station integrated into the frame but vibration-decoupled to minimise transmission
- Capability to process lead-free brass and stainless steel
- Optional bar feeding: bar loaded and cut directly in the machine from a bundle to improve throughput
Available operations- Drilling
- Milling
- Broaching
- Off-center machining
