KA 1501 - Autoselect

The machine operates from 4 different coil dimensions, without operator involvement

Operation and production flow

The production of ductwork is made from one The specially designed machine control system

profiling unit. The coils may have different continuously shows the production status on

to 1500 mm. The machine produces the full range of
ductwork programs, for instance full box

hydraulic motors. 999 different duct dimensions or programs can
be stored in the machine at the same time.
It means that manual handling is not required,
because all functions are automatically carried The operator just controls production and

Order input

In order to make the input and processing

of data, as easy as possible, Twin Seam has
developed a new data entry and processing
software package.
By using this software package, you need only
one PC and one program, for both straight
ductwork, blanks and fittings.
After entering the data, the software package
will sort, process and transmit the needed
information (recepts) to the KA 1501 duct
forming machine, and the TS-plasma cutting Network connection of duct forming machine and
machine, as necessary, for production. TS plasma cutting table to central PC-Computer.
