varioFormer

CNC cutting, pleating and folding -- with one machine!

Our varioFormer bridges the gap left by conventional duct manufacturing from coils and manual duct manufacturing. Incorporating three machines into one not only saves valuable shop footprint, but also eliminates the need to move heavy sheets of metal between machines when manually manufacturing ducts.

The patented combination tool allows this machine to cut, pleat and fold, while the precision CNC controlled feeding table gives CNC precision for all cutting and folding operations. The CNC controller sequences the production cycle, enabling ducts of different sizes to be manufactured significantly quickly than by conventional means. Because of its compact construction ducts ranging from 100mm up to 2500mm can be manufactured on this machine.
