Bending system 4800

The mandrel bending device with manual chucking

This mandrel bending system with eccentric rapid chucking for tube fixing enables low-cost bending. The compact drive unit with detachable mandrel support offers advantages when used at the place of installation. By means of a position recording directly on the bending axis we achieve optimum bending accuracy. Setting of the bending angle is made easily and quickly via a comfortable touchscreen-control with menu-driven display. With comfort control, two speeds are available, as well as a configurable via bending function to compensate for the material springback. The bending process is significantly shortened by the automatic retraction at the bow end. For more complex bending tasks bending programs can be stored, disposing of an angle sequence of 50 bends max. per geometry. 1000 programs can be stored. Pluggable bending tools enable quick retrofitting for other tube dimensions. For difficult geometries, the bending direction of the machine can be retrofitted to right-hand or left-hand bending as a standard. The open bending unit allows, for example, bending of handrail frames with one welding seam only. The optional calculation software on the PC determines the cut length for the total geometry as well as traverse path, torsion angle and bending angle for every bend. Mandrel retraction can be programmed and the mandrel can be automatically retracted ahead of schedule when a certain bending angle has been accomplished.
