Roll Tooling for Existing Tishken Machine

Formtek recently supplied new roll tooling for a precut HVAC structural shape for an existing Tishken machine.  The unique tooling design is capable to form a seam, similar to a lockseam, utilizing precut material, a feat not common for these types of applications, in galvanized, primed, mild carbon steel and stainless steel material.  For more information, www.tishken.com, contact tishken@formtekgroup.com or call (216) 292-4460.

Winpro Roll Forming Machine

Formtek recently supplied a window manufacturer a Winpro S-series roll forming machine.  The machine is unique in that it can roll from up to four (4) different geometries without any changeover.  Another unique feature is the tooling design, which is capable of forming two (2) identical thicknesses of strip for a given geometry at the same time.  This allows the use of various materials with the same tooling design.  This feature will enable the customer to utilize scrap from other operations to produce stiffeners for vinyl extrusions. For more information, contact Winpro, www.winproformtek.com, winpro@formtekgroup.com or call (216) 292-4460.
