Improving small and large tube results with efficient forming, bending and cutting

solutions that are tool-independent. The t form REB 632 axial forming machine, with different equipment options and either hydraulic or electric brushless motor drives, can quickly and accurately produce various forms. The special features are incremental or stepwise forming and high-speed forming, which opens up new opportunities. With new materials, the products are both lighter and stronger. transfluid’s rollforming technology also creates the potential for tool-independent forming. Before bending or forming, a tube has to be the right length. The various transfluid cutting options take care of that. The t cut range of machines offer methods such as blade cutting on a bending machine and chipless cutting. The advanced blade cutting technology delivers almost perfectly circular results when cutting. With the machines for chipless cutting for tubes up to 28/50mm, quick, clean cutting becomes possible for a high output of 1,600 units/hour, both from bars and coils. The t cut RTO 628 improves the cutting lengths to minimise any scrap while delivering clean cutting results. In order to connect processing steps effectively, transfluid customises its automation system for individual clients. This can be at any level: from simple handling to full automation with robots. All automation systems have different inspection systems available: offering either optical measuring tools or mechanical controls, they all deliver products of a high quality. The ‘plug & play’ principle also allows manufacturing to start straight away. transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH – Germany Fax: +49 2972 9715 11 Email: info@transfluid.de Website: www.tube-processing-machines.com

In order to include the bending machine in the production process in an efficient way, transfluid has further developed its t project software. The familiar options such as calculating the cutting lengths and recording tube data are still available. There are also innovative changes to the use of the machine controls and tools to calculate isometries, and the collision test is now simpler and more user-friendly. “Our goal was to give the user the option to make clear improvements to the manufacturing processes. And to do this in a very simple and efficient way,” said Benedikt Hümmler, managing director of engineering/production at transfluid. The experts at transfluid are always seeking to develop new processing methods to meet the challenges of forming technology, sometimes with

TRANSFLUID offers machines for efficient bending, including partially or fully electric machines with brushless motors and machines for tubes of very small and very large diameters up to 325mm. The t bend DB 2090-CNC machine can be used effectively for tubes in any material and with a diameter up to 100mm, both with thick or thin walls. With this high-performance machine, it is possible to process tubes with radii of 1.5x the diameter of the tube or less. The quick tool-changing time, sometimes less than ten minutes, means more flexible manufacturing. transfluid offers bending machines with specific features for manufacturing in many different industrial sectors, such as stack dies or the option to cut tubes on the bending machine, with good cutting results and long-lasting blades.
