Ebm for tube and
sheet metal forming
EBM specialises in tasks concerning
tube and sheet metal forming. It has
50 highly skilled employees and is a
manufacturer of electrically operated or
hydraulic-driven machines and systems.
The company offers standardised
and individual solutions, which are
always tailored to the customer’s
requirements, whether that is the need
for automatically or manually operated
machinery. From the initial planning of
a product until the start of production
the customer is supported by 30 years
of experience, professional engineering
and extensive R&D abilities. Innovative
solutions are possible due to access to
CAD design and tool shops.
Ebm is active in several business
areas: standard and special machines
for tube and sheet metal forming;
tools for tube and sheet metal forming;
engineering and services; and the
prototyping and production of small
batches. In the field of tube forming its
programme includes machines for radial
forming, axial forming, cutting, rolling and
stamping. One of the company’s latest
developments is an electric-operated
axial-tube end-forming machine called
C50VE, with five forming stations.
The machines of series C are suited
for tube end-forming of all metal
materials. Several processes like
sinking, tapering, expanding, swaging,
crimping and calibrating can be applied.
Simple designs can be formed with just
one tool. For complicated designs, up to
five tools can be operated. In addition,
the clamping of three D-bent tubes up to
a diameter of 120mm is possible due to
the C-frame.

Ten-roll tube
straightening
ONE of Germany’s largest manufactur-
ers of precision tubes has placed an order
for another ten-roll tube straightening
machine from Bültmann, to be supplied
to one of its German facilities.
The decisive factor was the perfor-
mance of the ten-roll tube straightening
machine previously supplied to the
customer. The straightening quality
achieved on that machine exceeded the
agreed criteria and offered the customer
a significant competitive advantage.
In addition, the automatic, reproducible
machine setting offers the customer time
advantages during dimensional change
and a respectively higher production
capacity. The customer also emphasised
the order processing of Bültmann,
ensuring the integration of the machine
into the existing production line.
