High-Performance Solutions for the Serial Production of Complex Tube and Pipe Geometries
High-performance tube and pipe bending solutions “ Made in Germany ” – in keeping with this slogan Schwarze-Robitec presented its extensive product range of tube and pipe bending machines and fully automatic bending cells at Fabtech .
At the booth in the north hall of the trade fair in Chicago , interested visitors were able to experience a state-of-the-art CNC 100 E TB MR tube bending machine live and in action . Together with the experts from the American branch office , the long-established Colognebased company answered all questions interested trade visitors had concerning tube and pipe bending processes .
Faster , more flexible and more efficient – the serial production of complex tube geometries presents numerous challenges for companies . This is why the tube and pipe bending specialist Schwarze-Robitec has placed its comprehensive solution competence at the center of the booth at Fabtech . The company presented the operation of a CNC 100 E TB MR tube and pipe bending machine from the highperformance series live .
Whether for the production of different radii or bend-in-bend systems , such as manifolds and exhaust pipes , with the full-electric and multistack CNC tube bending machines , a particularly wide range of different tube and profile dimensions can be bent . Users benefit from the shortest cycle times , the highest speed , and maximum accuracy . In combination with individually adjustable tools , the multi-level technology used ensures the problemfree and accurate shaping of tubes with very short lengths between the individual bends . This can be used to bend exhaust pipes with a bending radius of 1 × D , using the smallest straight intermediate lengths between two bends . The integrated rapid clamping system “ Quick Tool Unlock ” allows changing the bending tools fast and requires almost no tools at all . Set-up times are therefore significantly optimized , and machine downtimes are substantially minimized . The NxG control system also contributes to the fast cycle speeds of the highperformance series : Users can reduce the production time by up to 35 %, depending on the tube system to be bent .
Expansion of the range of services in North America
Fabtech is the meeting place for the metal-processing industry in North America . Schwarze-Robitec took the opportunity to get in touch with numerous customers and interested parties and to inform them about the latest company news . This also includes the fact that the US branch office moved to new offices warehouse facilities in Grand Rapids ( Michigan ) in April . On 2000 square feet Schwarze-Robitec stores there , among other things , the most important spare parts for the custom-made tube and pipe bending machines . This means , the company with a long tradition , headquartered in Cologne ( Germany ) and first-class support , can respond to service requests in North America even more quickly . The goal is to further expand the market in North America .
