Belt grinding-satining machine

 Aceti Macchine’s ART.79

The ART.79 planetary belt grinding-satining machine from Aceti Macchine, Italy, is able to grind-satin pipes, straight and bent bars with round, oval, elliptical and conical sections. The machine can work pipes from diameters Ø10 to 100mm, and is used for quality finishing on several materials, particularly on stainless steel. The machine uses a planetary system: the pipes are ground without being rotated, by using two abrasive belts that rotate on the axis of the workpieces. ART.79

is equipped with an electrical motor that operates the abrasive belts at two speeds, and a foot control to open the abrasive belts, facilitating the insertion of the workpieces. Options include a speed variator for the abrasive belts, and automatic advancing for straight pipes.

accepts bend profiles with CLR to 18". Other features include a Class 3 safety hand- held remote control for bend, return and emergency stop functions, a patented swing away counterbending die vice, and auto load sensing to improve bend productivity while protecting machine components. The machine contains no hydraulic components, to reduce cost and improve bend accuracy. CML USA Ercolina – USA Fax: +1 563 391 7710

Touch screen control for programmable repeatable bending

Ercolina’s Top Bender model TB90 is suitable for producing bends in large diameter pipe, tube, squares, rectangular, solids and other profiles. PLC touch screen control offers easy access to automatic and manual operating modes, programming, system diagnostics and multiple language capability. The machine can bend to a centreline radius as small as 2D, and can

bend any angle to 180º with independent spring back compensation for each bend. Unlimited program storage is available via USB, with up to 12 bends per program. The TB90 features a digital display of counterbend die axis and bend angle, and a patented quick-change tooling system with multiple radii is available.
