UMC Innovation FLM-10 Fence Lokk Machine
The only machine in the world capable of producing two different types of fence knots.
The patented UMC Innovation FLM-10 Fence Lokk Machine can produce both Fixed Lokk or Stay Lokk type fence on one Machine with minimal downtime when changing between different fence knots.
The FLM-10 fence lokk machine can be delivered with one set of tooling, for customers who only require one type of fence, or a second set of tooling can be purchased that will allow the machine to produce both types of fence knot.
There are two Machine sizes available; The 6’ft (1829mm) wide Machine can be controlled mechanically or electrically and the 10’ft (3048mm) wide Machine is controlled electrically.
Machine Function & Design
Two Machines In One
The FLM Machine produces Fabricated Wire Fence in various roll sizes and knot types used for numerous applications from Livestock to Security and Exclusion Fencing.
Dual End Wire Feed
Dual end wire feed systems allow for production of two fences at the same time.
Fast Change Overs
Automated Crimp Drum allows for rapid changeovers when specification changes are required.
Roll Shuttle Design
Roll shuttle allows for a controlled motion to layer the fence before the windup. This prevents the knots or line wires from ‘stacking’ on top of each other, keeping the roll diameter compact.
Continuous Production
Finished rolls are automatically removed to the tie-off and pickup zone, allowing for continuous production. When the finished roll ends are secured, the roll clamp re-sets to the windup area.
Statistics & Telemetry
Reporting module provides for Machine displayed operational status including faults, run hours, mechanical history. Mobile device compatible with remote distribution of reports.
