Autonomous Tube/Wire Bender Enables Lights-Out Production
Featuring a compact layout, integrated loading/unloading capability, and easy-to-use programming software, BLM Group’s Smart Bender enables an operator to go from design to part in one click and walk away.
Electric Rolling Device on Tube End Forming Machine
The addition of a CNC electric rolling device on BLM Group’s E-Form machine offers repeatability in part production. With punches reaching up to 10 tons of force, E-FORM molds tubes of various materials up to 30 mm in diameter.
Company Improves Line of Tube Processing Machines
Transfluid’s K series machines are robust and easier to operate, thanks to control changes that require minimal operator input and different options for sharing bending data. Reliability and durability are the priority.
Compact Multitasking Machine Inexpensively Automates Processes
HGG Profiling Equipment’s UPC 450 increases prefabrication productivity by eliminating the need to cut profiles and spools by hand. The universal profiler combines stiffener cutting and 3D profile cutting with optional tube cutting in the first affordably priced machine of its kind.
Totally Tubular: Take Profile Design to the Next Level
One of the fastest-growing sectors of North American metal manufacturing is laser processing of tubes and profiles. Design software and machines that automatically perform multiple manufacturing steps are making this complicated fabrication process cost-effective for smaller companies.
AI-Driven Straightening System Shrinks Cycle Times Up to 80%
Use Coldwater Machine’s solution to straighten tubes and bars made from many types of metals automatically, without operator intervention. Once sensors create a profile of the tubes or bars, a servo press bends the material over the servo’s length till straightening requirements are achieved.
Compact Tube Configurations Made Simple
tranfluid’s MB 642 mobile bending machine will fabricate all kinds of tubes used in hydraulics, including those with thin tube walls. But this bending system is so compact, all you need is one square meter of production area in which to operate.
Tableside Pipe Cutting with Wide Menu of Diameters
Esab’s Smartpipe is an affordable pipe cutting option for shops that want to go after jobs in processing industries, pressure vessels and infrastructure projects that incorporate tubing into their designs. Standard and heavy duty systems handle a big range of diameters and lengths, and the system’s graphical programming software lets users design all kinds of straight and bevel cuts – and confirm all the details in a 3D rendering before cutting.
Crisis Tooling Calls for Fast Response – Roll-Kraft is Helping
Roll-Kraft steps up during the pandemic to help manufacturers that are hustling to meet the needs of their communities. Welded Tubes, Inc., which is making hospital beds, got the extra tooling pass they needed – in a hurry.
Vertical Tube Perforating Machine Packs Punching Benefits
iES offers the RB150 VPM, a high-capability vertical tube perforating machine. Equipped with Rexroth hydraulics for precise perforation, the machine is also digitally controlled and can be ordered with either Allen Bradley or Siemens controls.
Roll-Kraft Welcomes New Engineer at Ohio Headquarters
Tony Romito brings considerable experience in the design and optimization of roll form tooling for new and existing fixturing.
Three-In-One Multi-Profile Cutting
HGG helps manufacturers confront economic challenges with the MPC 450 2.0 that offers three accurate configurations in one machine, as opposed to one machine for pipe profiling only. Supporting software connects users to the machine and facilitates programming for even complex structures.
