Notes:
Orbital forming is an efficient and precise process to assemble component parts. It provides strength, an attractive finished appearance, and batch-to-batch uniformity. Orbital forming machines can produce high-torque assemblies and also freely swinging joints, and any degree of built-in resistance in between. These machines quietly flare and form all malleable materials, including many engineering thermoplastics, and work safely on delicate and brittle parts. The machine controls provide infinitely variable cycle times (speed), forming pressure and tool stroke on the micrometer dial with resolution to 0.001?in.
