ACF Cornerformer Cost & Time Savings

THE REAL COST SAVINGS
THE MAJOR BENEFITS OF A PROVEN SYSTEM

IMPROVED QUALITY OF CORNERS

excellent and consistent 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 required
elimination of abrasives and welding consumables
new UNIVERSAL-TOOLING allows individual panel/door fabrication (MACHINE-TYPE: Multiflex)
custom made FIX-TOOLINGS design allows high volume fabrication (MACHINE-TYPE: Variform)
space requirement for machine approx. 1 m²

IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS

very low level of noise, no dirt creation

FLEXIBLE AND AUTOMATIC CORNERFORMING GIVES EXTENSIVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES FOR PANEL/DOOR FABRICATION IN:

IMPROVED QUALITY OF CORNERS
SIMPLIFICATION OF FABRICATION PROCESS
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS ARE
- MILD STEEL - zinc coating: AFTER CORNERFORMING
  => no manual zinc coating in the corner area is necessary
- MILD STEEL - for enamel coating: AFTER CORNERFORMING
  => the coldformed corner is constant and resistant against high temperature (higher than 960oC)
- STAINLESS STEEL: AFTER CORNERFORMING => no change of color on the material surface and therefore no pickling of the corner is necessary

THE TIME SAVINGS
IT'S WORTH MAKING THE COMPARISON

A panel/door with all 4 corners formed, ist compared with a welded and handfinished panel:

PROCESSRATE COMPARISON

CORNERFORMER-Multiflex, MF25/50/100 appr. 52 sec./Door
CORNERFORMER-Variform, appr. 40 sec./Door
Conventional Method (welding, grinding, finishing) - Mild Steel, appr. 12 min./Door
Conventional Method (welding, grinding, finishing) - Aluminium, appr. 18 min./Door
Conventional Method (welding, grinding, finishing) - Stainless Steel, appr. 24 min./Door

Please note: Above times stated INCLUDE handling time (BOTTOM-BOTTOM TIME).
Additional time savings through optimization of fabrication are not considered.
