Wauseon Machine has unveiled its latest product: the electric end former. This machine is engineered to deliver powerful, precise end-forming capabilities while significantly improving operational efficiency, workplace noise levels, and sustainability in the manufacturing industry.
The end former operates entirely on electricity, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid. This not only enhances the machine’s cleanliness by preventing leaks but also contributes to substantial cost savings over time. Electricity is generally cheaper than hydraulic fluid, making the electric end former an economically attractive choice for manufacturers.
One of the standout features of the electric end former is its quiet operation. By reducing noise levels, the machine helps create a quieter factory environment, which can improve the overall experience for employees and reduce noise-related health issues. The new end former is also designed with a smaller footprint, offering greater flexibility in manufacturing setups without compromising on power. With its ability to handle tubing up to 2" in diameter and exert forces around 15 to 20 tons, the machine outperforms many competitors in its class.
As a fully electric solution, the end former aligns with Wauseon Machine’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices. The transition to electric-powered systems reduces environmental impact and helps manufacturers meet sustainability goals. This end former is a versatile solution that caters to a broad range of industries and applications, from small businesses to large-scale general manufacturers. Its design and capabilities are suitable for engineers and manufacturing professionals looking for advanced automation solutions.
