Shrinking
Achieve unparalleled precision and control with Grotnes' advanced shrinking technology, designed to perfect the outer diameter of diverse components.
The Shrinking Process
Grotnes shrinkers are expertly designed to ensure precise outside diameter accuracy for a variety of parts. Operating on the principle opposite to expanding, the shrinking process involves positioning the part within the shrinker with its outer diameter facing the tooling. As the dies are forced inward, they compress the metal beyond its yield point, achieving the desired shape and size.
Shrinker Applications
Widely used in applications including pipe couplings, jet engine parts, drums, exhaust components, motor frames, conveyor pulleys and bearing races, Grotnes shrinkers are essential for manufacturing a range of precise components.
Features
- Fitted with a recipe-driven controller, our shrinker/circumpress offers straightforward setup and seamless transitions between different roller sizes, streamlining production and boosting productivity.
- A light curtain and essential interlocks safeguard operators during the forming process.
- Easily interchangeable tooling enables the creation of products with various diameters and taper angles for rapid customization.
