Machine comparison KEB Series
- High-end machines for the production of high-strength chains in continuous operation
- Output is increased by 10% (KEB x.2)
- Dimensionally accurate chain with tightest bending tolerances evenly bent in continuous operation
- Robust machine design for the production of high-strength chains over a long period of time
- Safety devices for protecting machine parts and tools
High-end cold-forming process for high-strength chains - KEB and KER series
Chain bending machines of the KEB and KER series are used to cold-bend round steel link chains. Wire material is fed in from the wire coil. The bent chain link can then immediately be electrically welded on a separate machine.

KEB 8.1
- 3-shaft system
- Smooth machine running
- Operations (forward and backward stroke) are positively controlled via cams
- Safety devices for wire feed, chain link blank stop, gripping at the bending mandrel
- Quickly responding clutch and brake combination
- The clamping tools of the wire feed are pneumatically actuated. (KEB 3.1 - KEB 5.1) All other motion sequences are mechanically controlled
- Wire feed and gripping, notching, and closing the tilting tongs occurs hydraulically. (KEB 8.1) All other motion sequences are mechanically controlled
