Flow Forming Machine for Wheels
Overview of Aluminum Wheel Flow Forming Process
Flow forming technology is increasingly gaining attention across various industries, especially in the wheel manufacturing sector. After flow forming, the grain structure of the cast or forged billet exhibits tightly bonded characteristics and a polished surface finish. In addition to enhancing the original mechanical strength and airtightness of the wheel, flow forming further achieves lightweighting, reducing weight, and conserving material.
With the rapid die-change system developed by DIN-KO, wheel specifications can be changed on the production line within 20 to 30 minutes, enabling mixed-line production. The flow forming process requires minimal consumables, mainly including mold release agents, equipment lubricants, and coolant.
Vertical 3 Roller 6-Axis Model
Compared to the standard two-roller model:
Processing speed and material flow:
With higher spindle power and increased feed rate, the processing speed is faster than the two-roller model.
Aluminum material flows more efficiently, and the three rollers distribute the load, allowing for higher pressure forming.
The tailstock provides greater thrust, and the additional roller configuration is more suitable for "up-and-down spinning."Compatible with specialized forming rollers or segmented dies for shape processing: Undercut wheel、front face reverse wheel
