FOCUS ON TUBE FORMING
Cesurbend ’ s CESUR 38 CNC 5-axis pipe and profile bending machine .
BOLUK Makine ’ s BPK pipe and profile bending machine offers a range of different sizes and options .
Bystronic ’ s ByTube Star 130 offers laser power of up to 4 kilowatts and a fully automatic set-up with open profiles and ellipses for more flexibility and higher quality in production . It has a wide range of applications for all metallic materials in sizes from 10 to 130mm ( maximum tube length of 650-8500mm ).
“ An additional linear axis of the cutting head ensures highest speed and quality under all conditions . We also guarantee this for very small tubes . The automated system reduces manual intervention to a minimum , making it particularly easy to get started in tube processing ,” explained the Swiss sheet metal specialist .
The company ’ s FL 300 is suitable for various materials and diameters . As a versatile steel cutting tool , the laser tubecutting machine processes pipes of up to 12.5m and cut parts of up to 12.2m . Linear load capacity is 60 kg / m , allowing the CO 2 laser to efficiently cut thick materials .
“ The third mandrel comes as a standard feature for 8m- and 12.2m-long pipes . The benefits of the third mandrel lie in the high processing speed when cutting long parts that are heavy and prone to bending and twisting ,” added Bystronic . Its BySoft Cell Control Tube software is designed to simplify the tube laser cutting process .
C . B . C . Srl in Italy produces portable benders , semi-automatic ones and ring rollers . It manufactures a wide range of nonmandrel and mandrel benders for pipe and has 40 years of experience in manufacturing and bending applications . It also manufactures tools for round pipes , rods , profiles , square and oval pipes , and angle irons .
Turkish manufacturer CANSA MAKINA has been making pipe bending , end-forming and pipe drilling machines , as well as pipepunching machinery , for over twenty years .
Established in 2014 , CESURBEND MAKINA is a Turkish manufacturer of pipeforming machines . Hydraulic squeezing pipe-
bending machines ; pipe and profile bending machines with and without mandrel ; doublehead pipe and profile bending machines ; three-roll pipe and profile bending machines ; pipe polishing machines and pipe end-forming machines form part of its portfolio .
CML International Group S . p . A . promotes the Ercolina ® brand of patented tube bending machines and IBP PEDRAZZOLI tubeprocessing machines .
Tube laser cutting with DURMA systems .
Durmazlar ( DURMA ) is a global manufacturer of sheet metal processing machinery , established in 1956 , with headquarters in Turkey . Its HD-TC laser tubecutting machine is used for tube and profile cutting ( tube max . diameter 220mm ). Using laser cutting power of up to 3kW , tube and profile materials of thicknesses from 0.8mm to 10mm can be cut .
“ Fully automatic loading and unloading requires less effort and time savings for the operator . The moving axes operate via maintenance-free , dynamic and highperformance AC servo motors . A suction system is used to vacuum the dust generated during laser cutting to the dust collection filter ,” it explained .
An automatic tube and profile loading system has been designed to reduce the material preparation time . An automatic tube and profile unloading system collects the cut materials without stopping the machine .
ERMAKSAN MAK . SAN . VE TIC . A . S . is a Turkish manufacturer offering its FIBERTUBE advanced tube and profile fibre lasercutting machine . The machine features a fully automatic loading system , eliminating the need for operator intervention and streamlining the cutting process .
“ The machine can handle a wide range of tube shapes and sizes including round , square and rectangular tubes , with diameters of up to 150 x 7320mm . It also accommodates round tubes with diameters from 20 to 150mm , square tubes from 20 x 20mm to 140 x 140mm , and rectangular tubes from 20 x 30mm to 100 x 150mm ,” said the manufacturer .
The FIBERTUBE - ECO is a versatile tube and profile fibre laser cutting machine designed for efficiency and flexibility . It offers both semi-automatic and manual operation options . It is designed to handle tubes and profiles weighing up to 960kg , with a loading length of 6000mm and a maximum unloading length of 4500mm .
FIMI Group provides machines for the finishing of steel tubes with a range diameter from 19 to 608mm , for thicknesses from 0.5 to 20mm and lengths from 3 to 15m , both in-line and off-line , designed to customer ’ s requirements . Management of the working phases is completely automated and can be integrated both to the tube lines and to other components on the line . It also designs , builds and installs customised equipment for electro-welded tube mills and the production of tube from 13-508mm API diameter .
G . B . C . Industrial Tools manufactures portable pipe cold cutting and bevelling machines ; pipe bevelling machines and stationary machines for pipe bevelling , as well as tailor-made machines , devices and tools . GELBER-BIEGER GmbH offers a large selection of bending machines . This includes hand bending machines , profile bending machines , mandrel bending machines as well as press brakes , welding tables and universal bending machines .
