Axial Forming Machines
Precision and Diversity of Variants
Axial Forming Machine Aximus V02
About the Machine
The Aximus V02 is used to form one or more highly precise spline systems on hollow or solid parts with a total length of up to 400 millimeters. The vertical Aximus offers a sixfold tool changer and a patented system, which reduces the axial forces and makes it possible to tooth extremely thin-walled tubes. Thanks to the interlinkage of the Aximus with other stations, additional process steps, such as threading and deoiling are possible.

Axial Forming Machine Aximus H02
About the Machine
The Aximus H02 is used to form one or more highly precise internal and external spline systems on hollow or solid parts. Thanks to a patented system, the axial forces are reduced, which means that extremely thin-walled tubes can be toothed. The AXIMUS H02 model is mainly used for components longer than 270 millimeters. The machine can be equipped with a six-fold tool changer in order to, for example, carry out all splines for gear shafts in only one run.

Axial Forming Machines AFH
About the Machines
The axial forming machines of the AFH product family are suited for the cost-efficient manufacture of external spline systems and contours of the highest quality. Thanks to a patented system, the AFH machines offer a reduction of axial forces, which means that extremely thin-walled tubes can be toothed. The AFH machines thus offer high tool service life and short cycle times for economical production. The machine can either be equipped with further stations, such as a deoiling unit or multiple testing devices, or even be integrated into a transfer system. The systems of the product family are available with and without a mandrel apparatus and therefore enable the precise production of thin-walled components. The component feed can take place either via the feed unit or directly via a robot.

Discover Machines for Other Processes
Rotary Swaging Machines
Rotary swaging is suitable for forming the most varied outer and inner geometries. In this case, several tool segments impact on a workpiece repetitively in quick succession. The material begins to flow and is formed with great precision.
Tube + Machine
The Tube+ process developed by Felss enables the partial thickening of wall thicknesses. Thanks to the intelligent interplay of several axes and tools, the area to be thickened is continuously cold formed.
Machines for Ends Processing
In the case of ends processing, the most varied flange forms are applied to the tube ends. The tube ends processing procedure is based on the fact that the workpiece is fixed and the tool moves around the component.
Bending Machines
Both tubes and flat plates are produced with the Felss bending procedure, whereby the complete process is decisive. The Felss Group offers turnkey system solutions that interlink perfectly and eliminate manual work.
Transfer Systems
Felss transfer systems stand for the optimal interlinking of various technologies for complex tube geometries. This interlinking of various processing steps makes it possible to produce ready-to-install, complex components in only one run.
