With up to 13 axes, the bending machines are fully-electric and capable of producing both simple and complex geometries. They operate with a high accuracy and speed, while high-speed servo drives are used for all axes. An electrically adjustable bending arm and sliding rail feed pressure ensures that bend pressure is programmable and the formation of wrinkles is controlled. In addition to the standard programming, Mewag’s sub-program technology also allows an additional CNC code to be inserted before or after each bending set. This ensures all axis movements and auxiliary functions can be programmed. Website : www.mewag.com

and Asian markets, comprising precision and seamless tube manufacturers. These plants are designed for sawing of stainless steel, ferrous and non-ferrous material in the form of billet, tube, profile and plate. The custom-made solutions are used for specific applications such as tube or profile layers, billets or plate sawing plants. Each machine is intended to utilise carbide tipped saw blades, which guarantee an accurate and high capacity by lower costs and long tool life. MFL supplies sawing machines for round materials and tubes from 30mm up to 800mm in diameter. The saw blade diameter, which is used for cutting of 800mm in diameter, is 2,200mm. The largest square dimension that can be cut with MFL sawing machines is 720mm. MFL has developed and sold a layer-sawing machine with a 1.5m layer width, which is used for cutting tubes, I- and U-beams, sheet pilings and angles. This substantial layer width is claimed to be a unique development on the international market. In addition, MFL supplies sawing machines for cutting of aluminium plates. Recently
