Wafios to exhibit its bending machines at Tube China 2024

The FUL 16+ combines optimum output and drive technologies

production of hairpins, electromagnetic coils and stator connection assemblies on one machine. The patented tool system combines active rotary-draw bending with the agility of conventional wire bending tools, and actively prevents thickening of the material. The newly developed feed unit prevents deformations in the profiled material, and a simulation of the bending process allows checks for feasibility and collisions. The new HQ bending technique combines the advantages of forging tools with the flexibility of a CNC bending process. The RBV 60 ST is a stabiliser bar bending machine for tube diameters of 20 to 35mm and was designed to meet the requirements of the cold-forming industry for processing pre-hardened tubes. All machines are equipped with the latest version of the Wafios programming system WPS 3.2 EasyWay, which

AT Tube and wire China, Wafios will exhibit the FMU 40 E bending machine designed for components for the e-mobility sector, as well as the RBV 60 ST stabiliser bar bending machine, the FUL 16+ compression spring machine and the BMZ 6 tube bending machine for small parts. Wafios develops, designs and produces specialist machinery for the wire and tube processing industry and for cold-forging applications, and has more than 130 years of. The range of products includes more than 130 types of machine, equipped with the latest software, artificial intelligence and IoT. The FMU 40 E is a powerful bending machine for producing hairpins and electromagnetic coils. It offers a revolutionary bending technique and straightforward operation with the WPS 3.2 EasyWay programming system. It has a unique machine concept for the

features functions for the production of stabiliser bars and an integrated real-time simulation for increasing the machine’s availability based on a secure data basis. The FUL 16+ compression spring machine is the successor to the FUL 16. Optimum output and drive technologies are combined in a modern and functional design to provide increased dynamics, speed and performance. The BMZ 6 CNC tube bending machine offers modularity for complex workpieces by combining different bending techniques with additional operations such as free-form bending, cutting, forming and winding.
