Customized Solutions for the Production of Chains
Chain Bending Machines
High-precision chain bending machines for cold bending of round steel link chains. These machines are characterized by a robust design and high dimensional accuracy. They enable an efficient production of high-strength chains with tight bending tolerances. The machines have been designed for continuous operation and offer great reliability, high quality and a long service life. The wire is fed in from a wire coil and the bent chain links can be directly welded electrically on a different machine.
Chain Welding Machines
Our chain welding machines offer a robust design for the production of high-strength chains. The machines enable the continuous welding of all chain links in one cycle as well as the deburring of the entire welding bead. The KEH series also features an individually adjustable speed for welding, deburring and transporting which increases the output. Advantage of modern servodrive technology: Reduction of tooling times and increased machine productivity.
Chain calibrating machines
The chain calibrating machines of the KPH series offer precise stretching, calibrating and testing processes for round steel link chains. The machines are characterized by a modern hydraulic system with heating and cooling system and guarantee precise motion sequences. A patented tooling system prevents damages to the surface of chain links. The self-cleaning tool station reduces faults caused by soiling. The PLC control unit enables simple operation and trouble shooting.
