The new Soco ATM-19 five-axis CNC tube
and wire manufacturing line can combine
different working processes for a complete
production cell. The processes include
uncoiling, straightening, bending, end-
forming and cutting.
The production cell can work with tubes
up to OD 19mm in copper and OD 8mm in
wire. The minimum OD capacity is 4mm for
both tube and wire.
The machines are equipped with Soco’s
DGT technology (direct gear transmission),
Five processes in one pipe bender
offering accuracy and repeatability in
bending. Advantages of DGT include chain
free transmission, built-in gearbox with
direct connection to electric servo, high
transmission performance (90%+ efficiency),
high bending accuracy (±0.05° ~ ±0.1°),
and low noise level. Other features include
elongated neck for superior clearance,
compact bending head, side carriage and
bending head, and built-in Soco proprietary
software and operation interface, with an
Industrial PC (IPC) and touch screen.
Optional features include bending
interference and collision simulator, report
system for production management, reading
of AUTOCAD files (with Auto LISP), and
remote monitoring system. The production
cell is designed for the production of small
and medium diameter tubing and wire, and
is used in industries such as automotive air
conditioning, heating, refrigeration systems
and home air conditioning.
