A par tner in tube bending FOR over 50 years, Faccin SpA has been a partner to manufacturers around the world, helping them to complete challenging projects.

The company’s dished heads production lines include technologically advanced presses, flanging machines and manipulators that offer reliability in terms of achieving tolerances and lamination reduction. Hydraulic presses (PPM) ensure forming accuracy, and automatic manipulator (MA) handling systems allow processing of several plates at the same time. Flanging machines (BF) offer high productivity and quality of the final product, and the hydroforming machines (PPH) are used in the production of dished heads for truck tanks. Faccin has also developed a range of special machines for specific needs in the fields of pipe production, shipbuilding and aerospace. These include the long three-roll bending rolls of the HAV-2F range, suitable for use in pipe mills; FB angle rolls for bending bulbs and various profiles; PPS Shipbuilding presses

The company produces and sells a wide range of bending machines, including three models for bending thin plates: HCU two-roll bending roll with high speed and productivity; ASI three- roll initial pinch bending roll; and 3HEL electronic three-roll pyramid bending roll with double pinch. For rolling thicker plates, two different models are available: 4HEL, a four-roll pyramid electronic bending roll; and HAV, a three- roll variable geometry bending roll. Faccin also constructs and markets various types of angle rolls that ensure bending quality and productivity over time: RCMI, specifically designed for bending profiles with high flexion strength modulus; and Taurus, for bending aluminium profiles and heavy metal fabrication work.

RCMI is designed for bending profiles with high flexion strength modulus

for metal forming, levelling, bending, curving and 3D modelling; large RP bending rolls that combine the speed of a bending roll with the versatility of a press brake; and R line levellers for processing plates of any length, up to 4m wide and up to 70mm thick.

Pipe cold cutting machine 4.0 PORTABLE pipe cold cutting machines are used for bevelling and cutting operations on-site. the best performance in the machining process, many parameters are important: material, outside diameter, wall thickness, weld prep type and operator skills.

These machines are versatile in application and can perform many operations. As the machines are used and designed for heavy wall pipes with very complex materials nowadays the choice of the drive is crucial. To get

Usually the machines were equipped with pneumatic or hydraulic motors. Even though these drives deliver tremendous power, due to lack of parameter control and information in the process the operator had to be very skilled and trained. Now cold cutting machines can be equipped with electrical driven servo drive motors, where speed, torque and current can be displayed, measured and stored during the cutting process. These motors do not slow or strain under load. With this intelligent controller the operator can work with different materials and pipe characteristics

on-site, always choosing the correct settings with the help of the controller. The servo drive for the pipe cold cutting machines is delivered with geared motor and controller. It is available in 230V and 400V version, and is shock proof and corrosion proof with stainless steel housing, a large bright screen and emergency stop.
