wide; remote diagnostics via Internet; and an all-embracing service network, on request, available within 48 hours. Rosenberger has developed the Twister, a highly flexible and future- orientated bending system for bending of tube and hose assemblies. The system features a KUKA robot as the core unit. Programs and technology can be modified to suit customers’ requirements. Within the process flow, the Twister can be linked to and combined with all required machines. Its operation is extremely simple, and the entire process flow can be programmed via a familiar Windows XP-based user interface.

than hydraulic drive units. Another important advantage is the unsurpassed quality – starting with the very first part. Features of the company’s range include bending for diameters up to 20, 30, 45 and 60mm; endforming with a RAM pressure from 7 to 30 metric tons; rollforming with rotating profile rollers up to a fitting diameter of 22mm; straightening and cut-to-length from coil or bar stock with rotating cutter wheels; tube end finishing (chamfering); and integration into complex work cell layouts. Rosenberger also provides comprehensive support, including specialist support from sales and engineering departments; training programmes, either at Rosenberger’s or the customer’s premises; use of standard components available world-

ROSENBERGER AG has been designing and manufacturing specialised tube processing equipment and related machines since 1980. The company’s engineers design and develop turnkey problem solutions for its customers, from individual machines up to complete production work cells. Based on this essential knowledge, the company claims to have been the first to successfully introduce solely servo-electric driven tube bending machines. Rosenberger provides a one-stop source for the entire spectrum of chipless tube processing machines. The company does not use hydraulic systems at all. Servo-electric drives have considerably lower energy consumption, require less maintenance, and work more efficiently and precisely
