A shared history of bending, cutting and innovation

requests of our customers with standard and customised products.” In 2018, the CML group acquired the Pedrazzoli brand, with industry history dating from the 1940s Pedrazzoli developed Universal manual and motorised tube benders, Jariston, tube benders for furniture and Brown saws, which were first in the market place. These brands are now synonymous with cutting. Specialising in the production of high speed, high productivity CNC machines, Pedrazzoli is the second production centre of the CML group based in Italy. CML International continues improving its brands to the next level constantly innovating its products and technology Including the use of industry 4.0 compliant software where appropriate. For example, talking about the new proprietary TCPlus and IMS controls, Mr Caporusso said: “They offer interconnection between machines and operating system. Through the new interface it is possible to view and access alarms, relevant machine data, operating programmes and even remotely access the machine via ethernet to provide support and technical assistance.” The know-how acquired in more than fifty years, along with the investment in qualified employees and the dedicated forging ferrous and non-ferrous materials and as a hot zone bearing lubricant. Specific advantages obtained with the use of Condorform 322 are its wettability and coverage of metal substrates, its adhesion and abrasion resistance, the maximum release characteristics and finer surface finishes in casting applications. Dependingon themethodof application and end use, Condorform 322 can be used as it is or it can be diluted with water before use.

CML INTERNATIONAL SpA is a manufacturer and supplier of Ercolina and Pedrazzoli trademark products, providing productive cost-effective solutions for bending, end forming and cutting of tube, pipe and profiles within the metal working industry.

Our commitment and our passion for excellence is critical to achieve our goal of full customer satisfaction. “To insure our goal, we created a production centre dedicated to the Condorform 322, a lubricant based on colloidal graphite in water for hot forming operations. The small size of the graphite particles guarantees optimal lubrication and good releasing properties, while the special balanced formulation between binder and graphite allows to obtain maximum protection. Conform 322 has been formulated to provide optimal lubrication avoiding scratches on the material to be treated, seizure and welding between metal and tool. Condorform 322 can be used in non ferrous metal extrusion operations, in

internal production of its machine components help maintain its position in the industry. Ensuring its product quality. CML is present at all major national and international events within the sector and are constantly working with its customers to provide them the best solutions for their applications. CML’s complete line of machines includes tube bending both automatic and semi-automatic tubes (NC & CNC) with up to ten axes-controlled movement, end former machinery, sawing, threading, reduction, expansion of tubing, Pyramid style three-roll benders, horizontal presses and flanging machines. CML International SpA products and technology use industry 4.0 compliant software where appropriate
