Technical Capabilities

Easy Load Mesh Loading

 

Piloted Bearings

Puts the machine rolls in the correct position at assembly. No further adjustment is required.

Large Flattening Roll

The extra large roll system provides greater traction for improved cage quality.

 

Fully Machined Rolls

 

 

Industry-Leading System

 

Powerful Motor

Single drive motor provides all the power required to operate the CMR Mesh Roller.

Adjustable Flattening

Flattening the mesh correctly and precisely enables you to produce a much better cage. With the Hydra-Roll system flattening adjustments are as easy as turning a crank on the flattening roll system so cage consistency will never be an issue.

 

Reversible Shear Blades

Shear blades are reversible for multiple cutting edges. Two large cylinders provide the power to the shear system.

Electronic Sensors

Electronic sensors make it possible for the shear to cut at any specified dimension from the cross wire.

 

Safety Features

Safety is a big concern at Afinitas. The Hydra-Roll has emergency stops and kick bars at several locations around the machine.

Advanced Computer System

The Hydra-Roll highly advanced computer system includes programs for arch, elliptical, elliptical round and standard round cages.
