The 14, 16 and 18 gauge Pittsburgh sheet metal machines have 7 forming stations with two forming positions. One inboard position forms the Pittsburgh lock, and one auxiliary or outboard position has the capability of forming 1 of 8 different profiles depending on which auxiliary roll set is ordered.

The Model 20 and Model 20 SuperSpeed Pittsburgh sheet metal machines have 5 forming stations with 2 forming positions. One inboard forming position forms the Pittsburgh lock and one auxiliary or outboard forming position has the capability of forming 1 of 3 different profiles. Forming speeds are listed in the chart above. Standard with Lockformer® quality construction, these machines have motors; high precision needle-type bearings; heavy ¾” chassis plate; case hardened and ground roll shafts; and arc welded steel stands protected with Lockformer’s top-quality primer and paint finish. Alemite grease fittings are easily accessible from a central lubrication panel.

The 24 gauge Pittsburgh sheet metal machine has 5 forming stations and 1 inboard forming position. The forming chassis is constructed of 1/2″ steel plate. This machine is compact and lightweight and can easily be taken to the job site! An optional Auto-Guide Power Flanger attachment is available for the 24 gauge Pittsburgh machine. The flanging attachment follows any edge straight of irregular while forming a 7/32 (outside) flange height. Just turn up a starting flange in the table slot, feed materials into the rolls and let go. Handles radii down to 3.25″ or 1.375″ manually at speeds of 16 – 18 fpm.

A superior product brand because it has earned the reputation for unrivaled quality, performance and value. Renowned for its design and CAD to CAM solution, the VulcanPlus outperforms other HVAC Plasma cutting systems..state-of-the-art in every detail and component.

The next evolution in the Vulcan cutting systems is the Laser-Max 1.5. With minimal heat affected zone on the cut edge, the parts coming off the machine will cause less wear to downstream fabrication equipment. Minimal kerf combined with 4-axis controls enable the cutting of intricate patterns. Laser cutting uses less heat – edges are not hardened leading to less wear and tear on other machinery. Exclusive Patent – pending technology allows operator to access parts directly from the table and eliminates need for a pallet shuttle system. Coil feeding made easy as full table enclosure is eliminated – Laser-Max 1.5 can be sheet or coil fed. Running speed up to 1,400 inches/minute on thinner materials (26ga). All rack and pinion 4-axis (2-y, 1-x, 1-z) controlled. Z is servo driven with automatic torch height.

The Vulcan 1600 WJ is designed with traditional Lockformer quality and reliability, to eliminate the duct liner bottleneck in your shop while reducing the labor associated with this process. HVAC contractors rely on Vulcan’s insulation cutting software and table to increase shop productivity, reduce waste, and improve their bottom line.

Roll single-direction curves down to a minimum radius of 3-1/2” inside or a 5” outside radius, almost automatically. These punched right-angle flanged curves fit perfectly in the receiver formed on the Lockformer 20 gauge or the 24 gauge Button Punch Snap Lock.

Turn perfect flanges on elbows or other curved fittings as fast as you can notch them
20 gauge MAX

These ductwork prep machines automatically follow any edge –curved or straight. Use the convenient table slot to turn up a “starting flange” and let it go! A calibrated dial can be set for radii as small as 3-1/4” (or 2” when auto-guide is de-activated). Automatically flange 16 to 24 gauge material at speeds of 18 fpm. A non-releasing type head is suitable for open-end fittings, straight and irregular curves.
