The Benefits of Owning a Helix Flight Forming Machine...
Conventional Technology | Helix Flight Technology | |
---|---|---|
TRUE-Form helices | Not true form - need significant amount of re-work to fit onto the shaft | True Form helices everytime. No Re-work required. |
Welding Joints | Overlapped, or improper welding joints because of inconsistencies in the Non-True Formed helices | Consistent uniformity in the joints because of the True Form helices |
Helix Quality | Lack of uniformity Low-Quality helices due to continuous metal deformation |
Impeccable cut-to-fit - Flanges are consistently perpendicular (90 degree angled) to the shaft - Uniform Pitch Angle |
Blank Cut Design | Mostly, a completely straightforward, repeat process | The precision and fully-automatic calculations are based upon extremely complex mathematical equations and formulas to exact the perfect finish |
Job Flexibility | Limitations created by the OD and required pitch specific forming | Complete freedom; ultra-flexible machine with 0.01mm fractional adjustments |
Production Costs | High | Constantly Low |
Material Flexibility | Limited | Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Aluminium, Hardox, Abrasion Resistant materials, Bisalloy, etc. |
Training | Training time is always high, needs a highly-skilled operator to manage the process, most often 4 to 6 months of intensive training required | Only 2 to 3 days of training required. Any person with a bare minimum of engineering knowledge and experience can be quickly and easily trained to be fully competent and highly productive |
Repairs/Maintenance Requirements | Frequent and Substantial | Infrequent and Minimal |
Online Diagnostics | None | Advanced, constantly upgraded and enhanced online diagnosis |
