Rotary draw tube and pipe left- and right-hand bender

A USB port allows software updates and storage of unlimited programs, and the digital display monitors counter bend die axis position and bend angle. The machine’s gear head is manufactured from high-grade cast iron matched with high-precision planetary reducer, for reliability and repeatability with minimum maintenance requirements. The machine is protected by auto load sensing, and all electrical components are UL, CSA and CE approved. There are no hydraulic components, reducing cost and improving bend accuracy and productivity.

ERCOLINAhas launched the Topbender TB130DST rotary draw left- and right- hand bender. With capacity up to 130mm (5") tube, the TB130DST is suitable for producing consistent quality bends in large pipe, tube, squares, solids and other profiles. Tooling is available with bend centreline radius as small as two times the material diameter. A patented quick- change tooling system with multiple radii is also available. An interactive PLC touchscreen provides the operator with easy access to auto and manual bending modes, angle programming, machine diagnostics and multiple language capability. The system can memorise bend angles from 0° to 180° with 12 individual bends per program, and independent spring back compensation is offered for each bend.
