If necessary, handling can also be performed by a robot. All special equipment is optimised in advance for the compact cells and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of production technology. Compact production cells are used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, furniture and sanitary and heating. They help manufacturers meet increasing demands for quality, efficiency and flexibility. Overall, compact production cells for tubes are a pioneering solution that makes tube manufacturing more efficient, flexible and of higher quality. Manufacturers who invest in this advanced technology are better positioned to meet the demands of a dynamic and competitive market.

Version 3: Combination of straight pipe feeding and coil feeding: • Feeding the tubes as coil material • Straightening, calibration • Cutting of the tubes (chipless, without tearing) • Alternative to coil: feeding of fixed lengths up to 40" • Forming the 1 st tube end. If necessary, rotate the tube and reshape the 2 nd tube end. • Handling of the workpieces • Bending • Discharge via a conveyor belt Further expansion stages:

The new cells can be expanded as required with the help of the transfluid machine portfolio to be extended as desired for example: • To machine the second side of the tube or trim excess lengths • Collaring • Feed nuts • Control stations • Printing/labelling stations
