OMNI-X has introduced two new mandrel
link innovations designed to increase tube
bending production by economising the
tube bending process time and optimising
link life through a cutting edge split centre
link design.
Serrated split centre links feature
a design that evenly distributes the load
bearing function of the centre link. Previous
designs used only a single key-way, which
concentrated the load bearing to a small,
localised area of the centre link. The new
serrated design provides a key-way over
the entire mating surface area, resulting in
effective load distribution. A stronger split
centre link with reduced wear and increased
life means less down-time replacing broken
links.
Internal load testing showed an average
33% increase of load bearing capability
before breaking, compared to common
single key-way designs.
Armed with the internal results, Omni-X
field-tested the serrated links in some
of the highest volume and most difficult
Mandrel link innovations
to increase tube bending
mandrel bending
applications in
production. The
company stated
that the serrated
link was superior
in all applications,
with increased life
ranging from 10
to 60%, across
a wide spectrum
of tube and pipe
bending variables
including material and degree of bend. The
serrated links are available in sizes 7-12
covering an OD range of 1.125" to 4.625".
All Omni-X multi-ball mandrels include the
serrated centre link.
The new serrated link configuration is
backward compatible with the H-Style link
standard.
Omni-X’s second new product is the
No Drop multi-ball mandrel configuration,
which allows rapid tube loading without the
problems of the gravity effect of drooping
mandrel balls. The No Drop links will soon
be available in all sizes.
