Tube and pipe processing
Parmigiani Macchine SAS has a universal pipe and section bending machine with CNC control in its portfolio .
Prada Nargesa SL , from Spain , has over 50 years of experience in manufacturing industrial machinery . Its new generation CC60 and CC90 CNC non-mandrel tube and pipe benders , featuring touch-screen control , can bend up to 180 º curves on hollow profiles . Materials can be round , oval , square , rectangular and made of a range of different metals such as steel , aluminium , stainless steel , copper etc .
Its new MC650 Nargesa section and pipe bending machine is designed to carry out mass production through the control , which saves the position of the rollers in each curve to repeat the same operations later without longitudinal positioning control . It is suitable for manufacturing flanges , greenhouses , railings and large structures for construction and has a maximum capacity for bending round pipe of 4 ” inches or 101.6mm .
