The end former operates entirely on electricity, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid. This is designed to enhance the machine’s cleanliness by preventing leaks, but also contribute to cost savings, as Wauseon indicates electricity is generally cheaper than hydraulic fluid.
One of the standout features of the electric end former is its quiet operation. By reducing noise levels, the machine helps to create a quieter factory environment, which can improve the overall experience for employees and reduce noise-related health issues. The end former is also designed with a smaller footprint, offering flexibility in manufacturing setups without compromising on power. The machine can handle tubing up to 2 inches in diameter and exert forces around 15 to 20 tons.
As a fully electric product, 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.
