Enhanced levels of bender versatility with new CBE range

AddisonMckee, has developed a new range of modular electric/hydraulic tube benders that bring greater levels of flexibility to automotive component manufacturers. Based upon the platform of the company’s highly proven DataBend ™ range, these latest models – designated the DataBend ™ CBE range – can be more easily modified to meet individual user needs. Mr Christian Rogiers, AddisonMckee’s director of global marketing, comments “By utilizing the DataBend ™ platform, through the CBE range, we are able to offer a modular system, with a number of different machine specifications around the same basic structure. Designed to provide the highest levels of customization, CBE tube benders enable customers to specify the precise levels of functionality required for their specific bending processes. In practice, this means that an organization not requiring the most advanced technical features will be able to make impressive cost savings.” DataBend ™ CBE models are available in both 65mm (2.5") diameter and 89mm (3.5") diameter variants. Developed primarily for larger diameter, thin wall 1D bending of automotive exhaust components, the CBE models combine 6 electric servo axes (Y, B, C, X, Z and YP) and 3 hydraulic operations (clamp, pressure die and mandrel). The standard single radius 89mm OD capacity model has been designed to

provide maximum productivity for both OEM, tier 1 and 2 exhaust component manufacturers. In today’s cost-conscious market, such manufacturers are increasingly looking for robust, value-priced solutions. In standard form, the DB89CBE is also supplied with 45kN (4.6t/5 US tons) of boost force, plus the option to upgrade up to 100kN (10.2/ 11 US tons) for more challenging applications. Details of the DataBend ™ DB65CBE model will be announced shortly. Features of the DataBend ™ 65 and 89CBE include dataBend ™ CNC platform, clockwise bending rotation (and optional anti-clockwise rotation), multi-stack tooling capability, fully programmable boost, and a toggle-operated direct acting hydraulic clamp system. Other features include hydraulic-actuated reaction slide, electric-servo controlled 6-axis capability, automatic mandrel lubrication, and Ladar safety scanner. Optional modules include programmable position of reaction slide via servo-driven ball screw, a vertical programmable position of follower for true ‘multi-radius’ applications, and integrated ‘cut-off’ facility for ‘bend and cut’ capability. Models are also available with 4.6t (5 US tons) or 10.2t (11 US tons) boost capability.

All applicants will be contacted directly by Deansgate Services Ltd, Intras Ltd are only the forwarding agent for Deansgate Services Ltd.
