Solid carbide slitting saws
Caleyron Industries, France,
manufactures a range of solid
carbide slitting saws for cutting hard
materials, available from 20mm to
250mm in diameter.
The saws have a mirror finish and
perfect geometry ensuring excellent
cutting of tubes, providing clean cut
surfaces and close tolerances. The
blades allow higher cutting speed
and feed rates, high output, and
increased tool life.

AddisonMckee, has developed a new range
of modular electric/hydraulic tube benders
that bring greater levels of flexibility to
automotive component manufacturers.
Based upon the platform of the company’s
highly proven DataBend™ range, these
latest models – designated the DataBend™
CBE range – can be more easily modified
to meet individual user needs.
Mr Christian Rogiers, AddisonMckee’s
director of global marketing, comments
“By utilizing the DataBend™ platform,
through the CBE range, we are able to
offer a modular system, with a number of
different machine specifications around the
same basic structure. Designed to provide
the highest levels of customization, CBE
tube benders enable customers to specify
the precise levels of functionality required
for their specific bending processes. In
practice, this means that an organization
not requiring the most advanced technical
features will be able to make impressive
cost savings.”
DataBend™ CBE models are available in
both 65mm (2.5") diameter and 89mm (3.5")
diameter variants. Developed primarily for
larger diameter, thin wall 1D bending of
automotive exhaust components, the CBE
models combine 6 electric servo axes (Y, B,
C, X, Z and YP) and 3 hydraulic operations
(clamp, pressure die and mandrel).
The standard single radius 89mm OD
capacity model has been designed to
provide maximum productivity for both
OEM, tier 1 and 2 exhaust component
manufacturers. In today’s cost-conscious
market, such manufacturers are increasingly
looking for robust, value-priced solutions.
In standard form, the DB89CBE is also
supplied with 45kN (4.6t/5 US tons) of boost
force, plus the option to upgrade up to 100kN
(10.2/ 11 US tons) for more challenging
applications. Details of the DataBend™
DB65CBE model will be announced shortly.
Features of the DataBend™ 65 and 89CBE
include dataBend™ CNC platform, clockwise
bending rotation (and optional anti-clockwise
rotation), multi-stack tooling capability, fully
programmable boost, and a toggle-operated
direct acting hydraulic clamp system. Other
features include hydraulic-actuated reaction
slide, electric-servo controlled 6-axis
capability, automatic mandrel lubrication,
and Ladar safety scanner.
Optional modules include programmable
position of reaction slide via servo-driven
ball screw, a vertical programmable position
of follower for true ‘multi-radius’ applications,
and integrated ‘cut-off’ facility for ‘bend and
cut’ capability. Models are also available
with 4.6t (5 US tons) or 10.2t (11 US tons)
boost capability.
