  • Ability to find and develop solutions with a high degree of customization
Usually VBU trimming – beading machines are equipped with :
  • Lower spindle motorized by gear motor and inverter
  • Idle top spindle firmly connected to a boom structure
  • Working units: with hydraulic or electronic control of the stroke by "brushless" motor
  • Expansion/ejection system with hydraulic control coaxial to the lower spindle
  • Electrical panel complete with PLC and “touch screen” service panel for work sequence management
  • Safety devices: two-handed control button on swivelling console, safety guards at the side and at the rear of the machine; Safety light curtains in front of the machine (vertical and horizontal protection system)
