The design concept of the horizontal flow forming centerHDC 600 allows the forming of complex internal teeth on single and dual sided clutch and gearbox components. The raw parts can be in the form of discs, drawn cups or forgings.
The main characteristic of the design is the arrangement of two work spindles opposite one another and a fixed support with the radial feed heads. To form the work piece the two rotating work spindles with the tooling are pushed through the fixed support carrying the radial feed heads.
Ejectors and strippers which are optional for both work spindles, facilitate easy removal of the work piece from the working ares of the machine.

Features
- Horizontal layout, modern sturdy machine design, fully enclosed
- Frequency controlled brushless 3-phase motors for the work spindle drives
- Hydraulic ejector in the main spindles
- Stripper device
- Good access for loading and unloading by using a robot for full automation
- Optimum accessibility for rapid roll and tooling changes
Advantages
- High forming forces in the longi- tudinal and radial directions allow high degrees of deformation of the work piece even on thick materials
- Manufacture of dual sided clutch and gearbox parts in one operation
- High flexibility and short set-up times using CNC control
Sectors
- Automotive supply industry
- Vehicle construction
- Construction vehicle
- Commercial vehicle
- Clutch and gear manufaction
End products
- Internaly toothed clutch and gear components
