200 years of
expertise
The combination of all the companies
within Numalliance™ makes an
impressive 200 years of expertise.
Latour turns 140 in 2012 and displays a
new line of Robomac® twin heads.
Multiple option on feeding as well as
straightening, the group has certainly
taken advantage of its know-how to
reduce the last interbend to 50mm (2")
and give additional push bending and
180° bend on the machine.
More than 30 years ago, the current
president and chief executive, Joel
Etienne, founded Macsoft.
A small player in the beginning, Macsoft
has always been the spearheading
innovation in the CNC wire business,
putting innovative and unprecedented
solutions on the market.
Macsoft teamed up with another firm,
Satime, to provide a more integrated
solution and secondary operation.
The partnership grew in a merger
when Numalliance ™ was founded and
integrated with Latour.
With a total over 200 years of expertise,
the natural slogan for Numalliance™
is ’beyond bending’. To celebrate the
group has launched a line of Twin Head
benders, based on the Robomac ® Touch
and Form bending technique.
The line has already gained a huge
momentum in the industry. The basic
version of the bender has only six servos
but the machine has room so up to 14
movements can be combined.
From the feeding source a selection
of options are available. The standard
machine comes with a 4m (12ft) bed
and loads the pre-cut wire from the
magazine located in the back.
Alternatively the machine can grab
a wire from a coil and position the
wire directly on the bending head or
that same feed line can deliver the
straightened wire to the hopper in the
back.
Straightening can be conventional or
rotary. Also standard is the retractable
centre that gives the 3D to the part
enabling one last interbend of 50mm
(2").
The machine uses the same user-friendly
interface as its feed and form
counterpart, the Touch & Form, and
offers the teach–in pendant as part of
the trouble shooting programming.
Tooling is compatible with all the
Robomac® line.
The Robomac® 21xx comes with an
optional control feature that enables
push bending wire up to 12mm (0.45"),
and is capable of bending 180° in one
movement.
