A-Z tube Dusseldorf 2018 Previews
Time and cost saving is also the new collet clamp,
driven by two spindles thus allowing to cover a
certain diameter range. All these features optimize
all tools changing work.
Beside these features for time optimization,
integration of cutting systems into the tube bending
system reduces material requirement and thus
heavily reduces material costs.
Depending on the requirement there are two possible
solutions available. For thicker walls is applied a
cutting system with two knives, a vertical knife for
slitting of the tube and a horizontal knife for cutting
the tube through, which always guarantees an
optimized cutting result without need for additional
rework.
For thin wall tubes cutting is done with one knife
only which is then driven electrically. Both types of
cutting are integrated into the bending process.
Further optimization has been implemented
into the control system. With the add-on module
CMM Simulate a ready to work CNC program can
be sent directly from the office to the bending
machine. Further new function of the control system
Bend Motion Control is an automatic cycle time
optimization process, an automatic set-up cycle and
application of different access levels for operators,
set-up technicians and maintenance staff using an
RFID-Chip.
