 Ercolina’s CE40MR3 angle roll
Bending at 20 per cent faster speeds
transmission efficiency and forged roll
shafts which are precision ground and fitted
for maximum performance and minimal
deflection. The machines have a heavy-
duty structure and rigid components with
high section modulus ratings. An optional
anti-twist correction system is available for
angle iron ‘leg in’ applications.

Ercolina’s CE40MR3 angle roll is capable
of bending a wide range of tube, pipe
and profiles to a centre line radius (CLR)
as small as four times diameter of the
workpiece. The model is designed to
operate in a vertical or horizontal position
and includes foot pedal for hands-free
operation.
The CE40MR3 has a capacity of 2" schedule
40 pipe or 2" angle iron, with bending
speeds claimed to be 20 per cent faster than
competitive machines. A universal tooling
set, included with each machine, adjusts
easily to most material profiles.
The machine features programmable
touchpad controls with digital centre roll
positioning, to increase repeatability.
Threaded drive shafts allow fine adjust-
ment of tooling without spacers, and the
side roller system adjusts as necessary to
create a helix effect in the workpiece.
Standard CE40MR3 machine features
include patented two-speed centre roll for
rapid centre roll positioning, in-line gear
reduction in oil bath to provide high power
Wide range of centreless
finishing machines
Grind Master, India, is the manufacturer of a
wide range of machines for metal finishing,
Established in 1984, the company exports
its machines through MK International,
and is committed to providing complete
solutions, including tools, machines and
process.
The company manufactures a range of
centreless machines, including low cost
LMCL models with fixed vertical belt heads,
used by furniture manufacturers and fabri-
cators of railing and balustrade. Grind Master
also produces the sophisticated FH series,
used by makers of stainless steel tube, hard
chrome bar and hydraulic cylinder.
Various models are offered, from heavy
grinding high stock removal applications to
super finishing applications to achieve 0.05
micron Ra. The machines are modular and
configured to suit individual requirements.
The design of the pneumatically floating
type belt grinding head ensures uniform
grinding pressure, even on bent tubes.
