Tube B ending, Hydroforming & End-Fo rming
136 May/June 2007
OMCG SpA, Italy, is the manufacturer of a
wide range of CNC and mechanical forming
machines to process metal tube, wire and
strip. Available with a choice of 3 to 32
axes, the machines cover a tube (coils)
dimension range of up to 12.7mm OD and
strip range with a width up to 100mm.
This range of machines utilises a new
eccentric forming head and up to a 3 tool
stack forming mandrel. The machines,
based on the feed and form principle, can
produce most parts using the same tooling.
Advanced software programs are used for
component design and obtain a variety of
forms, with simulation of manufacturing
collision between the raw material and the
bending head.
The software simulates all different
dimensions of the machine, and
simultaneously predicts the variation of one
or all of the part bends in order to quickly
achieve the correct tolerance. In only 30
minutes it is possible to design the part
and get it produced and completed within
tolerance.
Other operations can be combined including
forming, stamping, assembly, cold heading
upsetting, welding, threading, chamfering
and grooving.
Auxiliary units include a 20t press,
motorised decoiler (with 2,000kg capacity),
chamfering unit for both ends, threading
unit, butt welding unit, frontal unit for head
and collar, grooving unit and dual or tri-
flipper straightening system.

Fast and accurate tube
and pipe bending
Jancy Engineering Inc, USA, manufactures
the JB2400 hydraulic bender for pipe
and round/square tubing. Constructed
from durable steel, the machine has a 2"
schedule 40 pipe capacity and 1-8" CLR
(centreline radius).
With a 35-second cycle time for 180º bends,
the machine operates via a 3HP Baldor
motor with either 110v/220v single phase
or 440v three phase. An auto stop feature
enables repeatable parts production and
decreased scrap.
With no complicated electronic
programming or tools required to change
forming and pressure dies, the JB2400
bender produces fast and precise bends
while reducing material waste/usage.
