CNC PIPE BENDER – FAST SPIRALLING PIPE BENDING MACHINE
Watch how this bending machine from SweBend easily bends tubes into 3D here:
This machine revolutionises the bending operation by providing continuous bending in 3D. SweBend are the only bending machines with this level of precision and a user-interface capable of handling tasks of this difficulty. This has been achieved through a vast understanding from the highly experienced SweBend technical team of tolerances (error-margins), statistics, quality components and profound bending physics.
From a commercial perspective this machine offers unrivalled business efficiency and profitability benefits by boosting production speed up to 10x! For example, it took the completion time for bending twelve-metre-long pipes from more than one day to less than one hour! Simultaneously it achieves optimal quality control with the risk of dents which compromise smoothness completely removed. This is because instead of bending in a multitude of passes, with a designated radius control after each pass, the operators can now simulate the whole operation with SweBend Simulations.
This machine type offers an ideal solution for the roller coaster industry and infrastructure that requires more artistic or challenging shapes and designs. The SB3S-240 can handle pipe diameters between ranges from 50mm to 170mm and has a maximum section modulus of 260cm3. Versions that handle bigger or smaller pipe diameters are also available.
Powered by the SweBend SEVEN CNC system this tube bending machine is a 100% CNC machine for optimal bending quality and precision. As no two bending applications are the same and many factors such as material size and thickness, mechanical properties, spring back, diameter, etc. can influence the bending requirements the SEVEN CNC system removes the guess work for you. This means you can leave the thinking and tuning to the CNC, all you have to do is specify your desired 3D part with a few parameters. The precision bending assistant IRMA, will easily accommodate for minor variations that are commonly found in all materials, which gives you the ultimate control over the entire process. You can also design any shape possible with ADAM – The Automated Design Assistant Manager and create precise production planning with the SEVEN Simulator which estimates the cycle time, runs the program in your preferred time-scale and calculates valuable data. Unsure of how much control you’ll need? We’ll optimise the number of CNC-controlled axes for your requirements. Download The SEVEN CNC brochure to learn more:
