Maximize Your ROI with the Lockformer Spiral Tube Former 2.0
The Lockformer Spiral Tube Former 2.0 is a game-changer in the HVAC duct and fitting fabrication industry, addressing many of the common challenges faced when creating spiral tubes. With cutting-edge technology and innovative design, this machine improves both the efficiency and quality of spiral tube production.
One of the key features of the Spiral Tube Former 2.0 is its ability to handle both high-speed and heavy gauge materials seamlessly. It combines the best of its predecessor models, offering versatility that meets a wide range of needs. For instance, it can work with 16-28 gauge (0.016 – 0.065â€) galvanized steel at impressive speeds of up to 344 feet per minute (FPM), while also handling 14 gauge (0.066 – 0.079â€) galvanized steel with precision. When it comes to stainless steel, it handles 20-28 gauge (0.016 – 0.040â€) sheets at those same high speeds, and even manages 18 gauge (0.041 – 0.050â€) stainless steel with robust capability at up to 287 FPM.
What really sets this machine apart is its powered by a frequency drive electric motor, which ensures quiet operation while maintaining reliability and producing smooth, high-quality spiral pipes. One of the smallest fully automatic machines in its class, it doesn’t compromise on speed, power, or technology despite its compact footprint. The innovative Spiral Smart Technology™ (SST) through MestekNet Control Software includes a precise length-cutting system with efficient self-diagnostic tools and minimal operator set-up requirements.
Another standout feature is the on-the-fly slitting device, which provides an accurate, quiet cut that eliminates burrs, sparks, and excessive saw noise for tubes starting from a minimum 4†diameter and up to a maximum material thickness of 20 gauge. The compact design makes it easy to trailer-mount and transport to job sites, fitting into even the tightest workspaces. Compatibility with a wide range of CAM programs ensures seamless downloads and integrations.
Achieving consistent seam quality is vital in spiral tube fabrication to ensure structural integrity and prevent air leakage. The Lockformer Spiral Tube Former 2.0 addresses this with advanced seam welding capabilities, delivering uniform and durable seams that significantly reduce the risk of leaks and enhance overall duct reliability.
Maintaining precise dimensions is equally important to avoid mismatches in fittings and installation issues. The machine’s precise control system allows operators to adjust parameters like diameter and pitch with exceptional accuracy, ensuring consistent production to exact specifications. This level of control not only reduces waste but also optimizes material usage.
The machine streamlines workflow and reduces setup times with intuitive controls and a user-friendly interface. Operators can quickly switch between different tube sizes and configurations, enabling fabricators to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
Safety and comfort for operators are prioritized with built-in safety mechanisms and ergonomic design elements. Creating a secure and comfortable work environment minimizes risks of accidents and operator fatigue, contributing to long-term sustainability and efficiency in the fabrication process.
In conclusion, the Lockformer Spiral Tube Former 2.0 establishes new benchmarks in HVAC duct and fitting fabrication. From precise seam welding to streamlined workflows and operator safety, this machine offers comprehensive solutions to common challenges, empowering fabricators to produce high-quality spiral tubes efficiently and reliably.
