BEST IN CORNER DESIGN


THE REAL COST SAVINGS - THE MAJOR BENEFITS OF A PROVEN SYSTEM

IMPROVED QUALITY OF CORNERS
- excellent and consistent cornerformer quality generates IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY


TIME SAVINGS
- simplified panel/door production process
- reduction of manipulation and intermediate storage


COST SAVINGS
- no welding, no hand finishing work
- only 1 operator
- elimination of abrasives and welding consumables
- new ADJUSTABLE-TOOL design allow individual panel/door fabrication
- custom made FIX-TOOL design allow high volume fabrication
- space requirement for machine approx. 1,5m2


IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS
- very low level of noise, no dirt creation, flexible production


FLEXIBLE AND AUTOMATIC CORNERFORMING GIVES EXTENSIVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES FOR PANEL/DOOR FABRICATION IN:
1. IMPROVED QUALITY OF CORNERS
2. SIMPLIFICATION OF FABRICATION PROCESS
 
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS ARE

MILD STEEL - zinc coating:   AFTER CORNERFORMER
=> no manual zinc coating in the corner area is necessary

MILD STEEL - for porcelain enamel coating:   AFTER CORNERFORMER
=> the cold formed corner is constant and resistant against high temperature (higher than 960°C)

STAINLESS STEEL:   AFTER CORNERFORMER
=> no change of color on the material surface therefore no pickling of the corners formed is necessary


THE TIME SAVINGS
IT'S WORTH MAKING THE COMPARISON


A panel/door with all 4 corners formed by the New ADJUSTABLE TOOL, is compared with a welded and handfinished panel/door:
