Hydrapower International Inc. (Marco Island, FL) has released two machines, the Flow Former and the Burnisher, which accelerate production of lighting, utility and traffic signal poles. The Flow Former can also make flag poles and decorative poles with an extensive range of profiles.

The Burnisher, built on the same base, processes poles over a mandrel and the rollers raise the poles’ structural strength to meet ASTM specs. Various mandrels enable the Burnishing of conical and polygon poles.

The machines are controlled by Siemens 840D multi axis CNC with functions similar to machining centers but Hydrapower’s machines do not cut metal –– they move it by plastic flow to create the required shapes.
