Pressure grouting machine SF25 compact
The pressure grouting machine SF25 compact - segment forming machine - is used for the pressing of:
- shells with cables or sleeves
- cases with plugs
- sleeves and pipes
- sensors with cables
The motorised press guarantees a form-fit connection which helps achieve, among other things, better strain-relief, anti-twist protection or shielding.
A typical example is the implementation of sensor sleeves which mechanically protect connection leads from being pulled out and seal them at the same time. This procedure also allows crimping of plugs into sensor sleeves. Wall thicknesses of 0.2 mm up to 1.0 mm with a diameter of 3 – 25 mm are possible.
The segment forming machine SF25 compact was designed especially for components which are inserted into the machine vertically from the top or from the bottom between the jaws. It is used mainly in areas with limited space as well as part or complete automation units, e.g. workpiece carrier feed with lift-in assembly, robotic loading and pick-and-place systems.

Details
Machine setup
The handling of the machine is very simple. The work piece is inserted into the opening, usually positioned with the help of a stopper, which assures that it does not move while the jaws move axially towards the work piece. The corresponding working parameters can be stored and managed in the machine control system. The user interface allows easy and logical operation. All essential processes are electronically monitored and the data is stored in the control system.
However this can also be done by a superordinate system control.
This ensures high process safety and reproducibility.
