VSTR 500 | Vertical Flow Forming

The VSTR 500 is a high-precision vertical flow forming machine optimized for shorter rotationally symmetric hollow components.

The vertical machine concept utilizes gravity to support the forming process, improving process stability, repeatability and dimensional accuracy.

The machine is particularly suitable for efficient series production of ammunition components and other precision cylindrical parts.
