Manifold with two-blade cutting TRANSFLUID has developed a t bend system that enables the processing of tubes of up to 60mm with a bending radius of 1 x D. Most of the tubes produced in this case have two or three bends, with the cut made straight after the last bend or between two bends. No additional follow-up cuts are required. The bending machine for this solution features a centre-line booster and three

bending planes, plus the plane where the cutting tool is used. transfluid is a worldwide partner for manufacturing tube bending machines and tube processing machines. The company has been developing its technologies for tube machining since 1988, and can provide customer- oriented, tailor-made solutions, for plant and machine construction, the automotive and energy industries, shipbuilding and medical device manufacturers. Advanced Fabricating Machinery is transfluid’s representative in the USA. transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH www.transfluid.net Advanced Fabricating Machinery www.advancedfab.com New multi- hit tube end forming machine INNOVATIVE Engineered Solutions Inc has announced the release of its newest tube end forming machine type, called the RB80 RFXT MH3.
