The new pipe bending machine DB 40120-CNC-VE by transfluid changes tools automatically.
Transfluid, which manufactures pipe machining and bending machines, is now offering an automatic tool change system for complex tube processing. The German manufacturer provides mobile pipe bending machines and tube forming machines for pipes with thick walls up to 127 mm for dynamic load.
The DB 40120-CNC-VE tube bending machine permits bending radii of 1 x D at very low wall thicknesses in such tubes.
Tje setup of this special bending system has been implemented fully electrically. All movement axes are optimally synchronised by the special transfluid sequence control or can be programmed controlled against each other. Additionally, it is possible to easily optimize the process via this sequence control, which effectively improves product-specific cycle times.
The transfluid machine permits bending radii of 1 x D and more for tubes with diameters up to 127 mm while reducing wall thicknesses from 2 to 1.5 mm.
Additionally, the machine is simple to operate. All parameters can be taken from the CAD drawing and the corresponding form spanners can be called automatically as required. The transfluid engineers have implemented reduction of the subsequent costs by an automatic spanner change system. The time frame for tool change is comparable to that of a radius change.
The new DB 40120-CNC-VE has two tool levels. It is able to change the spanners eight times, so that each tube can be bent even in highly complex geometries. This form of tool equipment is particularly efficient, reducing subsequent costs to a minimum. “In particular because the diameters are relatively similar and radii are very narrow at 1 x D, only the course geometries really change in new products. This means that only new spanning elements need to be used,” explained Flaeper. To implement the narrow radii at a relatively low wall thickness, the new pipe bending machine has an additional pusher device that can controlledly guide even the last bend at short remaining lengths.
