Our customer was manually installing rungs on their parts using a press. Manually assembling the parts was a prolonged process that resulted in inconsistent parts. They turned to Orbitform for a solution that would speed up the process and improve the quality.

Orbitform’s Engineers reviewed the application in detail and designed a Custom Dual-Opposed Orbital Flaring machine to meet their requirements.

This machine utilized two M-500 Powerheads, positioned horizontally within the machine cell, to flare both sides of the rungs simultaneously. The addition of a gripper that allowed each rung to center itself during flaring resulted in better consistency from part to part. This reduced the cycle time to 7 seconds per rung, significantly improving their manual process.
