Pedrazzoli’s Bend Master 90 MRV IMS
is an automatic tube bender with 6
controlled axis designed to guarantee high
productivity, best quality and long life. It can
make multi-radius bends on tubes up to a
maximum diameter of 90mm and thickness
of 5mm with fixed radius and variable
radius in the same working cycle, as well
as mandrel and compression bends.
The programmable thrust during the fixed
and variable bending ensures very short
straight segments, thus improving bend
quality and simplifying the tooling required.
Bend Master 90 can be setup for right or
left bending, or right and left simultaneously
due to a particular tooling set. This unique
advantage makes it highly flexible and
able to produce components that would
otherwise need to be manufactured in a
higher number of parts.
The Bend Master 90 MRV IMS is
particularly versatile and suitable both for
the production of large and small series,
due to the fast setup of the tooling and
the IMS control. Application fields include
automotive, aeronautic, street furniture and
ship building.
The IMS (Intelligent Motion System)
software, developed in-house, has an
intuitive and easy-to-use interface,
allowing an operator with no programming
knowledge to easily program the
machine cycle. The 3D representation
of the finished piece and simulation of
the working cycle warns the operator of
potential collisions and presents shape
bending feasibility.
There is a range of programming
possibilities, especially for those with
a particular ISO code. In addition,
the machine can be used with many
acquisition systems (ie measuring centres
and drawing programs like Autocad, Pro
Engineer, Solid Edge, and many others),
to assist users with their own drawing
system.
