Design and Innovation

Design Concepts:

  • Highest Accuracies and Repeatability (< 0.05 mm)
  • Short Changeover Times through "Quick-Change" Tooling Concepts
  • Left / Right Bending with multi stack tooling and single or dual bend heads
  • Tube processing systems, up to 60mm (2.40) diameters, for most materials
  • Low energy consumption (i.e., 3 KW for Benders up to 20mm / .787" capacity)
  • Compact Design / Small Footprint
  • No oil / vapor contamination
  • Low noise (db) level
  • Free-Programmable Bend Velocities to achieve highest process accuracies relative to tube material & tube geometry requirements
  • Free programmable / "Closed-Loop" pressure settings for Follower & Clamp Die Tooling Functions
  • Ease of programming and program storage (MS-NT software platform)
  • PC based, Off-line Programming
  • Storage and management of application specific data, including part numbers and relevant machine parameters
  • Bus-based networking between individual machines / system modules
  • High machine / system flexibility (Systems are field upgradeable)
  • In-Line bend angle measurement with closed loop correction for "under-bend" conditions
  • "First off" Programming Support based on available in-house bend data (i.e., bend angle settings vs. tube material, vs. tube geometry)
  • "Reverse Engineering", using standard 3-D measuring system download feature
  • Worldwide Programming Support and Program Exchange, via (Internet / DSL) "Remote Support Interface"
  • Extensive integrated System Diagnostics and System Maintenance Data
  • Worldwide Service Support
