benders, tube end-finishing equipment, custom machine building, muffler manufacturing equipment and tooling. The company has just launched a new software control package – BendPro G2. The software provides a compact and powerful bending machine control solution, through an easy to use interface. BendPro is designed to give the highest possible production yields, and the company claims that automotive users can experience an average cycle time reduction of 20-25 per cent. Mr Dennis Hewko, president and CEO of Eagle Precision Technologies, commented, “ We are continually looking at ways to improve our total solution offering. The provision of the BendPro G2 software provides users of both Eagle and competing equipment the opportunity to upgrade to a completely new control solution. This new solution can potentially deliver significant cost savings through cycle time reduction. ”

Sturdy bender for Ø 76mm tube capacity

The Memoli ETM76 is a bending machine with a maximum capacity of Ø 76mm tube with 3mm thickness. The machine operates via a motorized central hub, with hub rotary movement enabled by two trapezoidal drive belts driven by a self-braking electric motor. A sturdy, precise and fast machine, the ETM76 is completely operated and aided by a fully incorporated microprocessor.

This allows the storage of up to 40 different programmes, each of them with a 5- stop sequence in the bending operation. The minimum bending radius is 3 times the diameter of the tube, with variance according to the tube wall thickness and material. With an approximate weight of 260kg, the ETM76 has a maximum bending capacity of 76 x 3mm (2.5" gas x 0.157") for boiler tube, 70 x 5mm (2.8 x 0.203") for hydraulic steel, 76 x 6mm (3 x 0.236") for aluminium, 45mm (1.8") for round bar (mild steel), and 50 x 50 x 5mm (2 x 2" x 0.203") for square tube (mild steel).
