Faster forming with touch screen

Pave’s Axis V1 compact single head wire forming unit has been upgraded to provide manufacturers with higher output and reduced production costs. Designed to be reliable, accurate and easy to operate, the Mark 2 version of the machine incorporates the very latest engineering, operating and forming systems technology for the production of high quality wire formed parts. To minimise operator training, the machine is equipped with user-friendly touch screen graphics. On-screen video clips, running continuously, show the range of specific operations that the machine can perform. To program the machine, the operator simply touches the relevant video clip and the program line is entered automatically. The machine’s versatile new bending head offers up to eight different radii. Set up and change over time is minimal, for reduced downtime, and the Axis V1 Mark 2 will process short and long length wire products up to 6.35mm ( 1 / 4 ") in diameter quickly and cost-effectively.
