Made Expo - Milan, 17/10/2012

Made Expo is Italy's best attended international architecture and building trade show. 

In addition to the essential commercial aspect, modern trade fairs are expected to perform an equally important communication and promotion function.

In today’s scenario, a successful exhibition is one that succeeds in effectively supporting the development and promotion of the entire production chain, one that fosters relationships between the worlds of production, users and research. The objective of MADE expo is to satisfy a precise market requirement, to overcome the lack in Italy of an important world-class showcase.

The objective is to guarantee productive excellence in terms of the technology and design of our businesses an exhibition setting able to capture international attention, able to dialogue with the media and trade professionals used to doing business in highly evolved contexts. Also corporate in the business of bending machine will partecipate at this fair, in particular for the market of roll bender and tube benders.

The MADE expo initiative was masterminded by Eventi Srl and Federlegno Arredo Srl, organised by MADE Eventi Srl and promoted by FederlegnoArredo and UNCSAAL, formerly historical partners of Saiedue.

With the new Milan Exhibition district as a venue, the organisers have set themselves the target of creating an exhibition able to further develop the dynamics of success present in Saiedue on an up-to-date and international stage able to consolidate a position as an essential landmark in the world building and architectural circuit.

INTERSOLAR, 13/06/2012 - Munich

The exhibition attracts exhibitors and experts from an international audience and focuses on promoting the development of solar technology. The Intersolar Europe Conference also provides market and technology insights and is organised simultaneously.


To actively promote the development of solar technology. That was the aim set by members of the Working Group for Environmental Technology (Arbeitskreis für Umwelttechnologie) in Pforzheim when, in 1991, they organized a one-day event with presentations on the use of solar energy. Five solar companies presented their products there as part of a small exhibition. Over the years that followed, interest in solar technology grew and in 1993 the event attracted 25 exhibitors to Pforzheim, a town situated between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, with 84 companies present in 1995. 

These companies made the event Germany’s most important exhibition for solar technology, and gradually organization of the event became more professional. As CEO of the newly founded Solar Promotion GmbH, Markus Elsässer, who was there at the beginning in 1991, raised awareness of the solar exhibition beyond Germany’s borders. 
There will be also Tauring Group that will promote, between others, its hydraulic pipe bender.

Tube bending machines

Pyramid type bending machine with 3 driving rollers having variable centre distances.

The adjustable geometry of this machine makes it possible to bend an extremely wide range of section bars and is widely used especially in the construction of window/door frames in aluminium or other material, in steel structure work and many other fields of activity.

The upper roll is hydraulically adjustable whereas the seat of the lower rolls can be adjusted in four different positions of hydraulic pipe bender.

-Wide centre distance: optimal bending of square and rectangular tubular section bars, and special section bars for closed-section window/door frames.

-Medium centre distance: optimal bending of round tubes with the right compromise to obtain very small radii without ovalising.

-Narrow centre distance: optimal bending of thin and asymmetrical section bars with maximum limitation of warping ensuring driving under any condition.

Other important features:

-Mechanical clutch device on upper roll to offset surface speed.

-Tippable base-plate to work in horizontal and vertical mode

-Rotating parts mounted on bearings and constructed in casehardened ground high alloy steel

-Machine body in steel

-Electric cabinet and hydraulic power pack incorporated in the machine.

-Wide range of accessories available upon request to permit the machine to bend any type of section bar.

- Mobile control console containing machine and interpolated computerized numeric control CNC tube benders.

Development of a control that was already amazing and is now absolutely astounding.

Simply because until now such a simply beautiful, simply intuitive and simply complete program had never been seen. Industrial computer on Windows platform able to manage two or more interpolated axes with an indescribable progression and precision.

15” Touch-screen monitor. Intuitive system to program any type of regular and/or irregular geometry designing it directly on the screen.

”dxf” file importation with possibility to modify shape to bend on the screen, directly dragging the ends of the segments to lengthen or shorten them, or clicking on the arrows to enlarge or reduce the bending radii; all the operations are acknowledged by the “bending4program” that updates in real time. In conclusion the shape we see on the screen, and that we can measure with the specific tools, is really the actual shape that the machine will produce. Completely automated management of passage from straight section to bent section. A group of algorithms that, calculated according to the machine geometry, the profile section and the shape to be obtained, produce harmonious and imperceptible association of tubing bender with perfectly symmetrical shapes.

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.

INNOVATIVE CONTRUCTION PHILOSOPHY IN BENDING MACHINE

In a globalised world it may seem trivial to underline the origin of a product, but nowadays it’s important to assure clientele that entire production is all studied, designed and assembled in Italy. Especially in these times of worldwide crisis in industry it is important to point out that the company has continued to develop, refurbishing with a new high quality management system, SAP, worldwide leader in software solutions for business. Furthermore, a lot of energy has been spent in finding new technical solutions in the manufacture of the machines, in testing new products for special processing and in continual updating of the CNC-i numeric control–core and real added value of all bending machines.

LAMIERA 2010 exhibits a synthetic but significant series of high quality products manufactured by the company that has been UNI ISO 9001 certified for many years. The construction principle applied by most manufacturers consists in two angle rolls, mounted on pivoted levers on a central pin, that follow an orbital path, a third fixed roll overlays these two rolls, in a central position in relation to the other two.

CNC bending machines geometry is very common because production costs are less. However, this system has certain equally evident drawbacks, due to the forces involved, that subject the structure to considerable stress concentrated in a single point: the central pin. This is the weak point of the entire system, because, even if largely over-dimensioned , it will never have the necessary stiffness to ensure an even distribution of the stress it is submitted to.

The company has built and patented an innovative drive and support system of the roll-carrier shafts on slides with a linear stroke, which is much more precise and stiff than the system previously described. To this important development the possibility is added to be able to apply independent supports, that restrain the ends of the shafts greatly restricting deflection. The slides with their straight-line stroke act as the base to assemble the supports, so that also during adjustment of the slides, the shafts are always rigidly restrained on three points.

Possibility to bend section bars with a double pipe bending strength, compared to a bending machine with conventional drive system at the same cost.

The possibility to have an immediate saving on the purchase of a bending machine, which is much smaller, but appropriately dimensioned for the steel bending needs required.

Considerable saving on cost and on the handling of fixtures, much less cumbersome and with higher dynamics in the operations.
