The Memoli ETM76 is a bending machine
with a maximum capacity of Ø 76mm tube
with 3mm thickness. The machine operates
via a motorized central hub, with hub rotary
movement enabled by two trapezoidal drive
belts driven by a self-braking electric motor.
A sturdy, precise and fast machine, the
ETM76 is completely operated and aided
by a fully incorporated microprocessor.
This allows the storage of up to 40 different
programmes, each of them with a 5-
stop sequence in the bending operation.
The minimum bending radius is 3 times
the diameter of the tube, with variance
according to the tube wall thickness and
material.
With an approximate weight of 260kg, the
ETM76 has a maximum bending capacity
of 76 x 3mm (2.5" gas x 0.157") for boiler
tube, 70 x 5mm (2.8 x 0.203") for hydraulic
steel, 76 x 6mm (3 x 0.236") for aluminium,
45mm (1.8") for round bar (mild steel), and
50 x 50 x 5mm (2 x 2" x 0.203") for square
tube (mild steel).
