systems – is generated to ensure that the component is identifiable throughout the process. The required data transfer can be done via an interface with CAD, ERP or other programs, which deliver the data relevant to the process. The software prevents collisions with the machine, the tools and also the surrounding area before initiating the bending process. The CAD program delivers the necessary machine and tool parameters online. In those cases where a robot is assigned a bending task it is possible for the necessary manufacturing data to be processed without having to program the robot. The software can adjust the bending speed on all transfluid machines for the specific product, in order to be able to process tubes safely and without oscilla- tions, which is particularly important for long, small-diameter tubes. A software module captures the status of the pro- duction process and provides the cen- tral systems with the production-related information about the status and the quality of the production (C pk ). transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH – Germany

The transfluid t project software determines bending times and accurate cutting lengths, and records tube data

easily be retrieved online through one of the available ERP systems. The software solutions contribute to the economical processing of tube, starting with the determination of the cutting length for various cutting machines, in particular for the orbital transfluid t cut machine for chipless cutting. The software generates a list with the details of the cuts, which improves the cutting and the use of the half-finished product, with as little waste as possible. A unique marking with all the important data – such as that associated with the bending process or connecting

FOR many years high-tech manufac- turing company transfluid has provided smooth tube bending with its t project software, for example through digital collision tests. The increasing digitalisa- tion and networking of the processes in tube production now requires more ad- vanced solutions. The engineers at transfluid have de- veloped the software further and con- structed it both for networked use and to be integrated in the production process. In addition to this, it can be used to pro- cess production data. The data from the production and the various steps can
