Lockformer 8900 Cleatformer

	This Cleatformer is a "super speed" performer specially designed for extra-high-speed production of "S" cleats, plus a number of other choices of profiles available for mounting on the auxilliary shafts. It will produce these shapes at an average speed of 100 feet per minute. You get 9 forming stations for absolute control of part shape and accuracy, plus the same heavy-duty gear construction as the Pittsburgh Lock Models 16 and 18 - with heavy-duty production roller race cage bearings throughout transmission and reduction gearing.

Lockformer Triplex Cleatformer

	For reinforced "S" and drive cleats plus two optional auxiliary sheet-edge operations. Combination "S" and drive cleat scrap cutter attachment available. Every 9-station Triplex Cleatformer incorporates Lockformer's tri-plate construction and reinforced flat "S" cleat. The inboard "S" and drive cleat roll sets are furnished as standard between plate housings. Extended shafts on both sides of the machine can accomodate many other sheet-edge operations, including the 20 gauge Pittsburgh Lock and the Button Punch Snap Lock. Triplex construction provides two inboard forming positions supported between side plates. This bearing support on both sides of the profile controls deflection encountered when running heavy-gauge material or unusually intricate shapes.

Lockformer Cross-Over System

	Footsteps and lost motion cost money. You can cut down on both of these with a Lockformer Cross-Over System tailored to fit your specific requirements. With this method of "in-line production", you can eliminate turning a sheet metal blank around and the need to bring long duct sections around the machine to form the second profile.

Lockformer Drive Turn Hemming

	The Lockformer Skip Dent Indexing Roll is the heart of the system. The indexer is the first roll and has four pins and two milled ridges. The control lever determines whether the blank is hemmed after the first or second notch. With the lever in position 1, as the blank engages the indexing roll, a pin drops into the first notch. A ridge adjacent to the pin prebends the material at its corner just enough to force the material into the hem forming rolls where the 180 degree hem is formed. The next pin, on the rotating index roll, drops into the second notch and since there is no ridge present, the corner of the blank is not turned down and misses the hemming rolls and this section remains unformed.

Lockformer Standing "S" Cleat

	In just one pass, form a shape that combines a conventional "S" cleat with a standing seam for greater strength and rigidity. This seam is adaptable in fabrication of large trunk or branch lines in industrial and commercial heating and ventilation units. Included are double-extended auxiliary shafts for a variety of choices for optional rollform tooling. The design integrity and quality construction of its 10-station configuration will provide years of trouble-free service.
