Tulip - Robot-Controlled Tube Bending

This fully electric tube bending machine represents the latest technology for processing tubes with diameters ranging from 15.8 mm to 19.05 mm and wall thicknesses of up to 2 mm. The machine is designed to efficiently handle both short and long hybrid tubes, including those with pre-mounted accessories, making it extremely versatile and suitable for a range of industrial applications.

 

With its patented design, the machine offers unique features such as two-level bending and the ability to bend in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This flexibility is crucial for manufacturing complex tube structures. The machine's compactness, combined with automatic loading and unloading as well as integration with a robot, enhances productivity and reduces workload.

 

A particularly notable feature is the ability to integrate secondary operations directly into the processing flow, allowing for a smooth and efficient production line. Quick tool changes further enhance the machine's efficiency by minimizing downtime.

 

To facilitate handling and increase user-friendliness, the machine is equipped with industrial PC-based software, Touch & Form, which supports a multilingual dialogue and programming interface on a touchscreen. Helper functions and the availability of inputs/outputs make it easy to control external devices. Internet connectivity ensures remote access, enabling easy monitoring and maintenance of the machine from other locations.
