THERE must be enough room for
the broadest range of pipes such as
exhaust gas return tubes, injection and
cooling water lines in the most confined
installation spaces in aeroplanes and
cars. To make production of these
complex curve contours with the
smallest bending radii easier as well as
more time – and cost-effective, German
tube bending machine manufacturer
Schwarze-Robitec has developed
the fully electric CNC 40 Rotary. This
machine is also suited to the tubular
steel furniture industry. At this year’s
Fabtech, the company will present the
machine together with North American
distributor Trilogy Machinery, Inc on
Stand S 3938.
In just one operation, the CNC 40
Rotary tube cold bending machine
processes tubes in all current materials,
such as aluminium, titanium, copper,
steel and stainless steel, with a diameter
from 6 to 40mm.
Even tubes with preformed contours
on the straight tube can be bent flexibly
to the right and left.
“With the bend former return
integrated as standard, complex
bend contours can be removed from
the interfering contour areas with no
problem after bending,” Bert Zorn
explained. The result is a reduced cycle
time with no loss of bending freedom
and avoidance of damage to the tube
surface. The machine works with up
to 13 CNC axes. “In the development,
we have been more mindful of
ergonomic design and a high level of
user friendliness,” Mr Zorn added.
The machine is also geared for all
requirements with respect to partially
and fully automated production.
