AMOB offers a comprehensive range of tube bending machines . Its right and left fully electric CNC tube bender eMOB series processes tube from 6mm up to 42mm OD and has multi-stack capability . Machines are divided into two different concepts ; eMOB 2Bend series which changes bending direction using a rotative head and the eMOB LR Series which positions automatically and in cycle in a right and left bending configuration .
BLM Optima Lasertube LT8.10 .
Italian manufacturer , BLM SpA , has developed its LT8.20 lasertube system range for 3D laser cutting tubes and profiles of any section up to 240mm in diameter , and up to 12.5m in length , with a maximum unload length of 8.5m with tube weight of up to 40kg / m . It can also be specified with either a 3.5kW CO 2 or 3- or 4kW fibre laser source , delivered through a 3D tilt cutting head . To the automatic unloading system , available in different lengths , LT8.20 added different loading solutions : single bar loader , step-bystep loader and bundle loader , freely set on both sides of the machine . It also offers its own Artube software .
Other BLM models include the E-Turn for in-process right-handed and left-handed bending , with fixed or variable radius , in single or multiple radius mode , for tube , pipe and profile bending . The E-TURN has different sizes for tubes of diameters up to 50.8mm .
Bystronic ’ s ByTube 130 tube processing system .
Bystronic ’ s ByTube 130 automated laser cutting system reduces the need for manual interventions and is designed to ‘ make entry into tube processing particularly easy ’, it told ISMR . Since 85 per cent of the market potential lies in the small tube segment , the ByTube 130 is geared toward the processing of tubes with diameters of between 10 and 130mm . The machine has a loading capacity of 17kg per metre and features the new ByVision Tube user interface . The 2D cutting head allows a large proportion of customer requests to be processed , since vertical
cuts account for ‘ 90 per cent of the market ’, it continued . Bystronic combines all the functions relating to the laser cutting of tubes on a single touch-screen
Bystronic ’ s FL 170 FL 170 3D fibre laser cutting system has a wide range of applications for the cutting of steel , stainless steel , aluminium and non-ferrous metals in diameters from 12- to 168mm and workpiece lengths up to 12.5m . Its FL 300 CO 2 laser cutting system offers minimal scoring . In addition to straight cutting edges , the 3D cutting head also enables bevel cuts of up to 45 degrees . This eliminates the need for costly milling , drilling , punching or sawing processes .
