for repeatability and shape. The standard machine is formed by two reversible bending units, assembled on their longitudinal move- ment chart; one central unit for the piece manipulation to clamp it and to realise tri-dimentional bending. The standard machine can be added to the main modular unit with wire advancing from the coil with the traction system. It’s a simple system that takes advantage of the run of the right movement unit. The modular motorised advancing unit allows the wire advancing, but at much higher speed. It is required when the cycle time must be as short as possibile. The revolver straightener group (modular) is extremely important when you change the diameter of the wire you are working with often. The chamfering unit (modular) works the piece heads (chamfering, trimming, holding), while the adopted ‘method’ allows perfect chamferings without slavers. Butt welding. This unit affects the butt welding of the frames formed in plan or tri-dimensional. The butt welding can be affected without slavers or swellings if the chamfering operation is affected before the butt welding. When the machine has to work without the butt welding, the operation is automatically removed. ➣➢➣

The second cutting unit (modular) has two functions: Piece cutting when the machine works with the single head method (for the manufacture of small pieces when it is necessary to work with a single head); when the piece configuration allows it, the machine can produce double pieces formed at the same time with the right and the left bending units. In this case the ‘second cutting unit’cuts the two pieces before they are unloaded. The result is a double production, and/or the production of one right and one left piece at the same time. Other modular units include stamp and /or marking unit; radius calibration unit; small bars automatic loader; automatic centreing for electric heaters; extra bending unit; special tools; net connection; MONCAM automatic programming.
