Ebm for tube and sheet metal forming

Ten-roll tube straightening ONE of Germany’s largest manufactur- ers of precision tubes has placed an order for another ten-roll tube straightening machine from Bültmann, to be supplied to one of its German facilities. The decisive factor was the perfor- mance of the ten-roll tube straightening machine previously supplied to the customer. The straightening quality achieved on that machine exceeded the agreed criteria and offered the customer a significant competitive advantage. In addition, the automatic, reproducible machine setting offers the customer time advantages during dimensional change and a respectively higher production capacity. The customer also emphasised the order processing of Bültmann, ensuring the integration of the machine into the existing production line.

batches. In the field of tube forming its programme includes machines for radial forming, axial forming, cutting, rolling and stamping. One of the company’s latest developments is an electric-operated axial-tube end-forming machine called C50VE, with five forming stations. The machines of series C are suited for tube end-forming of all metal materials. Several processes like sinking, tapering, expanding, swaging, crimping and calibrating can be applied. Simple designs can be formed with just one tool. For complicated designs, up to five tools can be operated. In addition, the clamping of three D-bent tubes up to a diameter of 120mm is possible due to the C-frame.
