New bending machine: advantages

Versatility of bending machine, that can bend large size profiles, as well as profiles with small dimensions and radii, with its combination of considerable useful length and elevated stiffness of the supported shafts with a centre distance between the bending rolls having a wide variability range due to the converging straight-line guides.

Longer machine life because of the optimal distribution of the forces. Hydraulic pipe bender adjustment of the bending axes speed makes it possible to position the rolls with maximum precision. For example, during multi-pass bending, it is possible to rapidly approach the required radius and the subsequently finish the bending with maximum precision finely adjusting the position of the bending rolls. A longer life of the machine because of the optimal distribution of the forces.

The excellent geometry of the Alpha series, permits, with the same performance as a bending machine of the competition, considerable energy saving (on average the power required is halved).

Square tube bending has an innovative multi-axis positioner that permits a completely independent handling of the moving parts of the bending machine where it is applied.

The operator interface is incorporated in a panel of appropriate dimensions, that encloses in a single instrument all that is necessary to ergonomically manage the bending machine, avoiding confusing and bewildering indications caused by many devices spread out over the machine. The PQ10 is the latest electronic interface, designed specifically to meet the management requirements of pipe bending machines with more than 3 separate axes. With the touch-screen display and the Microsoft Window. CE operating system the use of the multiple PQ10 applications are intuitive and fast .

single axis positioning, setting the required dimension on the main screen and activating the actuator of the axis.

sequential multi-positioning of axes, used to carry out the movement of several axes continually and in sequence up to the required dimensions.

It is possible to set up to a maximum of 10 dimensions for each axis; the control electronics permit positioning of the bending axes with a precision of 0.1mm, whereas for auxiliary axes the precision is 1mm.

Possibility, at any time, to rotate the machine synoptic panel by 180°, to adjust the screen to the requirements of the operator.

The PQ10 also includes an advanced analysis system for self-diagnosis of any failures and/or maintenance operations on the control circuit. When necessary a warning is displayed with a description of the failure and a photo of the area requiring attention.

Upon request the metal bending machines can be supplied with a tele-assistance system for prompt service in any part of the world.

LAMIERA: RETURNS TO BOLOGNA IN 2012

From 12th to 15th May 2010, Bologna Fiera’s show ground will host the fifteenth edition of LAMIERA, the exhibition which is well-known as the most qualified trade show specifically devoted to the metal forming machines manufacturing sector.
Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian Machine Tools, Robots and Automation Manufacturers’ Association, the exhibition, alongside an exhaustive review of the world-wide offering, will present a new version of Lambda and will give space to the debate of the most interesting and relevant issues in the sector. By presenting itself as an event not to be missed to establish new and more profitable technical and commercial business relationships, the 2010 event will focus the attention of international users on its exhibitors. LAMIERA will also document the evolution of the world of metal bending machines, promoting the definition of increasingly technically advanced solutions via the exchange of ideas that takes place when manufacturers and users meet. If they plan to compete on the international market, companies cannot afford to ignore the new technological models that are weighing upon the development of production systems.
The setting for this event will be Bologna’s trade show ground, a modern exhibition centre that covers an area of approximately 375,000 square-metres including indoor and open-air spaces, with 18 fully cabled, air-conditioned halls, equipped with IT systems.
