THE MODEL 9000SP-8 IS A PRODUCTION BELLOWS FORMING MACHINE BUT UNLIKE THE ABOVE MACHINES, IT FORMS CONVOLUTIONS USING MECHANICAL PIE DIES. BY RETRACTING A MANDREL, THE DIES EXPAND TO FORM THE CONVOLUTION. THIS MACHINE IS ALSO COMPLETELY SELF CONTAINED AND ALL MANUAL AND AUTO CYCLE CONTROLS ARE DIRECTED BY A PLC SYSTEM. THE CONTROLS ARE MOUNTED ON A PEDESTAL AND THE OPERATOR CAN ACTUALLY PROGRAM THE PITCH AND AMOUNT OF CONVOLUTIONS REQUIRED RIGHT ON THE CONTROL PANEL. SINCE THIS UNIT USES MECHANICAL DIES, IT IS NECESSARY TO RE-ROLL THE CONVOLUTION AFTER FORMING. THIS UNIT CAN PRODUCE ONE BELLOW EVERY ONE MINUTE. MAXIMUM TUBE LENGTH IS 4" (101.6MM) AND MAXIMUM DIAMETER UP TO 48" (1219MM) CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH THE PROPER MODEL. THIS UNIT IS MORE ECONOMICAL BUT LESS PRODUCTIVE.
