No Welding, No Grinding. For Perfect Corners!

The ACF flexible cornerforming machine, made in Europe, is perfect tool for cold forming of corners on metal doors and metal panels. It is cheaper and up to 10 times faster than welding. The total cycle time is only 13 seconds for each corner (including workpiece handling time). The cold-formed corners are of high quality and consistency, and the same can be easily achieved: every time, anyone, any days.
 
ACF Cornerforming Machine can be used for fabricating a wide range of products:
Doors for electrical cabinets
Metal claddings, panel, box covers, trays, drawers, container covers, lids, suitcase covers
Doors for kitchen cabinets, oven doors, pizza oven parts, cooking trays, steel furnitures, design covers for radiators, boiler bottom parts for food industry
Parts for air-conditioners
Street plates / Name plates (including porcelain enamelling), traffic signs
Ceiling panels
Design elements and similar parts

Additional Benefits:
Mild Steel (Zinc-coated)
After cornerforming: No need for manual zinc-coating
Mild Steel (Enamelling)
After cornerforming: The coldformed corners have stable mechanical characteristics and can survive high temperatures (>960°C), resulting in the best coating quality for porcelain enamelling.
Stainless Steel
After cornerforming: the colour of metallic surface remains unchanged, therefore:
 
There is no need for pickling (acid-wash) and grinding of the corners
 
The interior surface of the coldformed corners are flat, smooth and accurate
 
The interior surface is easy to clean and rust-free (a must in the food industry)
 
Time Saving
Simplifies the production processes of doors and panels
Reduces manual operations, floor areas and work-in-progress inventory
Operations can be integrated with robots
