Kraftformer KF 340
The ECKOLD KF 340 Kraftformer offers exceptional flexibility and precision for professional metal forming applications. As a medium-sized motor-driven machine, it features continuously adjustable stroke speed between 220 and 600 strokes per minute, allowing the operator to precisely adapt the forming process to the workpiece and task requirements. Capable of handling sheet metal and profiles up to 3.0 mm (mild steel) thickness, the KF 340 is perfectly suited for a broad range of forming operations—from stretching, doming (dishing), planishing, and planing to flattening, straightening, and precision finish work. Its variable speed adjustment ensures low-speed control for heavy-duty or delicate work and high-speed efficiency for general shaping tasks.
