Bending complex tube systems flexibly

THERE must be enough room for the broadest range of pipes such as exhaust gas return tubes, injection and cooling water lines in the most confined installation spaces in aeroplanes and cars. To make production of these complex curve contours with the smallest bending radii easier as well as more time – and cost-effective, German tube bending machine manufacturer Schwarze-Robitec has developed the fully electric CNC 40 Rotary. This machine is also suited to the tubular steel furniture industry. At this year’s Fabtech, the company will present the machine together with North American distributor Trilogy Machinery, Inc on Stand S 3938. In just one operation, the CNC 40 Rotary tube cold bending machine

time with no loss of bending freedom and avoidance of damage to the tube surface. The machine works with up to 13 CNC axes. “In the development, we have been more mindful of ergonomic design and a high level of user friendliness,” Mr Zorn added. The machine is also geared for all requirements with respect to partially and fully automated production. Schwarze-Robitec – Germany Website: www.schwarze-robitec.com

processes tubes in all current materials, such as aluminium, titanium, copper, steel and stainless steel, with a diameter from 6 to 40mm. Even tubes with preformed contours on the straight tube can be bent flexibly to the right and left. “With the bend former return integrated as standard, complex bend contours can be removed from the interfering contour areas with no problem after bending,” Bert Zorn explained. The result is a reduced cycle
