Spinning is a tradition and Leifeld has developed the spinning
tradition to perfection. The result can be seen in our machines.
Leifeld spinning machines offer a viable alternative to established
methods such as stamping and deep drawing.
The advantages are:

flexible production

relatively low tooling costs

quick and economical adjustments to tooling and programs

short set-up times increasing machine availability.

By selecting from a range of auxiliary attachments, a basic spinning
machine can become a versatile spinning center, easy to operate
and capable of carrying out, in a single cycle, more than one
operation.
Operations such as:

planishing

profiling

curling (beading)

seaming

trimming

flanging

machining
give you the opportunity to diversify and adapt to an ever-changing
market and enjoy a decisive lead over the competitors.

The basic elements of Leifeld's space saving spinning machines
are the machine bed, headstock, tailstock, spinning slides and
combined PNC/CNC control, which all are installed on a central
base plate. Additional items, such as KA / BAE auxiliary cylinders
and multiple tool changers, allow you to manufacture complicated
spinnings in one cycle. Spindle speeds in either direction can be
pre-set via the keyboard. A new workpiece can be programmed
multiple different ways, for example by "teach in" using the mobile
desk, with data displayed on the flat screen monitor - or by use of
our offline programming software. Existing programs can be
optimized either directly online on the machine or offline by use of
the supplied offline programming software.

Blank Centering Unit

for accurately centering
blanks or certain pre-
forms. Once clamped the
centering arms are
automatically lowered. A
height indicator counter is
fitted to assist in resetting
for a diameter change.

Blank Support Unit

using either a disc or
conical roller. This
support unit stabilizes the
unsupported blank during
spinning and permits high
work rates without risk of
wrinkle formation.



Trimming Knife

designed to continuously
trim the blank edge
during spinning, so
avoiding the formation of
ears.



Edge Working

KA and BAE attachments
are used to
accommodate profiling,
trimming and curling
(beading) rollers, as well
as machining and
flanging tools.
