operation with low temperatures, avoiding material heat distortion. Additionally, combining the work of different metals is safer. This cooling system works in closed circuit with an integrated automatic filtering and pumping system. The equipment easily slides outside the machine whenever cleaning or paper roll replacement is needed. The finishing machine has a touch- screen control where all functions can be set from abrasive belt speed, profile

Portugal FGW170 4ZV is a machine for square and rectangular tube finishing and polishing. This model was recently developed by NS Máquinas and is used for two or four sides simultaneous finishing. The polishing machine is also suitable for stainless steel flat bars and flat surface element finishing on top and bottom side at the same time. With 170mm width capacity, this machine enables feeding of multiple tubes simultaneously. FGW170 4ZV has four abrasive stations, two working from the top and two from the bottom, permitting the complete outside surface to be finished in two passes only. Additionally, this machine features software that includes tube returning mode.

Manchester Tool and Die M71 Servo Flag Stop

Our servo positioning flag stop system helps to quickly adjust tube out through the

machine’s H.M.I. (human machine

interface). It provides consistent adjustments for quicker setup up times.

With this function activated the operator can have the polished profiles back on the feeding point without having to return them manually. This makes the surface finishing work on tubes and profiles more productive than with standard equipment. FGW170 4ZV combines high output with flexibility of work. The operator has the possibility to replace the abrasive belt per brush unit. This creates multiple combinations of abrasive materials from tube coarse belt grinding up to very fine surface finishings. Polishing curved or flat shapes of aluminium profiles is also possible either with abrasive belt with special contact roller or with abrasive brushes. In addition the three conveyor belt system enables the use of only top or bottom stations, increasing the range of application of this tube and profile polishing machine. FGW170 4ZV also has a water cooling system. This enables the tube finishing

• 12.5 times faster than standard trunnion flag system when making tube out of jaw adjustments • On average, it takes two minutes to make a 1.5” adjustment on a manual trunnion flag, the Servo Flag takes only 7 seconds • Average time savings is 12.5 minutes per shift • Pays itself back in less than three months at one shift/day* • Payback is less than one month running three shifts/day* • Retro fits of older machines are also available —

contact MTD for more information * Values based on five setups per shift * Values are estimates, actual payback may vary
