CNC mandrel tube and pipe bender ERCOLINA’S GB90/GB100 NC/CNC model bender series is suitable for bending tube, pipe, square and rectangular profiles to centreline radius as tight as 1.5D with minimum deformation.

Features include interactive touch screen with Windows-based control, offering easy operator access to auto and manual operat- ing modes and system diagnostics. All com- mands are available in multiple language capability. Programmable auto mandrel positioning allows the operator to optimise extraction for improved bend quality. Clamp- ing, pressure die and boost movements are programmable with manual override for easy setup. A USB port on the control panel allows saving and recalling of program files. Precision digital encoders on each axis display both absolute (ABS) and incremental (INC) position in inch or metric values. Programmable tooling interference zone with simulation mode monitors position and eliminates work head collision. Control accepts YBC as well as XYZ input values.

The redesigned Giga Bender (Model GB90 shown), and the KST clamping system from the Model GB100

A high capacity hydraulic reservoir with auto power save feature reduces energy cost. The heavy certified GS500 spheroidal steel structure of the GB90/GB100SCNC provides a rigid platform, minimising work piece vibration throughout the bend cycle. Ercolina’s patented KST clam shell clamping system is available on both the GB90 and GB100 models; the FST finger clamp system is only available on the GB90

model. Handheld bending control is certified class 3 safety and all electrical components are UL, CSA and CE approved. Machines are available with full CNC seven axis control. CML USA Ercolina – USA Fax: +1 563 391 7710
