The MT500A and MT150A are semi-automatic machines for cold forging iron profiles (bars, tubes, rebars, flat bars). They feature a digital programmer, the capacity to work with long pieces, and a dual torsion and bending bench, making them exceptional for both ornamental and structural production.
1. Ornamental Forging: Scrolls, Spirals, and Architectural Decorations
- Classic scrolls and complex spirals for gates, handrails, and railings
- Decorative spirals and springs for furniture and custom design
2. Hooks, Chains, and Anchors
- Production of strong, stable hooks for use in portals, machinery, or tools
- Chain links and clamps for industrial or agricultural fastenin
3. Structural Bends and Special Profiles
- 90° bending of handrails, tubes, and rebars for enclosures and metalwork
- Folding of flat bars and profiles for frames and support
4. Technical Figures with Interchangeable Dies
- Fixed-radius rings (“English railing”), decorative pinecones, oval scrolls, and pig-tail designs
- Customizable molds for unique pieces or short production series
5. Light, Repetitive Industrial Production
- Series automation with programmed control: memory for up to 8 programs, piece counter
- Ideal for workshops that need high repeatability with minimal operator interventio
Cold forging
The metal is worked at room temperature, without preheating. Deformation occurs through pressure or drawing using tools such as rollers, dies, or presses.
Advantages:
- No furnace or heat required
- Cleaner, smoother metal surface
- More efficient for series and repetitive production
- Ideal for thinner profiles or light decorative elements
Disadvantages:
- Requires more force and robust machinery
- Cannot achieve extreme deformations
- Less suitable for very hard or thick metals
Usage examples:
- Decorative stamping on tubes or flat bars (NOA60 machine)
- Cold twisting of bars (MT500A twisting machine)
- Production of ornamental scrolls or spirals
What Kind of Artistic Pieces Can Be Made with These Machines?
