XtruForm

XtruForm (XF) is our forming machine that uses stretch-roll forming (SRF) technology. SRF is a patented, numerically controlled metal forming process for stretch forming extrusions to arbitrary geometries. Utilizing SRF technology produces parts with stress residuals and geometrical accuracy comparable to those achieved by stretch bending but yields significant cost savings as well as a number of other advantages and new capabilities compared to traditional stretch bending.

XtruMach

Eliminates part specific fixtures enabling Just in Time manufacturing
Drilling, trimming and thinning of web and flange in one setup
Long flexible extrusions in any planar contour
Zero setup time for parts with similar cross sections with any form and length
Modular Universal Feeding Fixture (UFF) can be adjusted and adapted to hold different cross sections

Small foot print machine with big advantage of flow through processing parts of unlimited length
Accuracy of cross-section features within 0.001”
Target true position along the length within 0.001” per foot
Intuitive GUI with touch screen input
XtruPost (XP) software tool automatically converts standard G-code, generated by any CAM software, into XM G-code

XtruMach

ExtruMach is a tool-free extrusion machining technology, embodied in XtruMach (XM) CNC milling machines, that utilizes a precision controlled universal feeding fixture for supporting and guiding curved extrusions while they are drilled, trimmed or profiled in one setup. XM is a 4-axis CNC mill with a small machine footprint utilizing CNC Flow Through Processing™ to eliminate part specific fixtures and enable Just-in-Time manufacturing.
