Safe bending results with our software In order to include the bending machine is the whole production process in a very efficient way, transfluid has further developed its t project software. The familiar options, such as calculating the cutting lengths and recording tube data are still there. There are also innovative changes to the use of the machine controls and the tool to calculate isometries and the collision test, which is now simpler and more user-friendly. The updated t project now controls the functions and connects will all measuring and CAD systems. “Our goal was to give the user controlling the machine the option to make clear improvements to the manufacturing processes. And to do this in a very simple and efficient way”, as Benedikt Hümmler, Managing Director, Engineering/Production sums up the innovation. Forming machines for multiple requirements The experts at transfluid are always developing new processing methods to meet all the new challenges of forming technology, sometimes with solutions that are tool-independent. As an example, the t form REB 632 axial forming machine, with different equipment options and either hydraulic or electric brushless motor drive, can quickly and accurately produce various forms. The special features are incremental or stepwise forming and high-speed forming, which opens up new opportunities. With new materials, the products are both lighter and stronger. transfluid’s rollforming technology also creates the potential for tool-independent forming. » TUBE NEWS EVENTS August 2019 13
