2. Technical data
2.3 Short Description
With its huge horizontal reach of 800 mm, the Kra ft former KF 800 allows new possibilities to fabricate large-scale
sheet metal parts. Th e machine is air driven and released by a foot pedal, either in single or continuous stroke mode.
Th e single stroke function combined with the big reach is especially useful for correction jobs. Depending on the
need of forming force, the machine has two stroke settings. A digital display shows the ram position with a 0.1 mm
precision which results in a high repeatability of the forming force.
Th e machine is adjustable in height, allowing the
operator an ergonomic working position.
