FABTECH 2015 Preview: Schwarze-Robitec

Schwarze-Robitec will present its entire modular, configurable high-performance machines with newly developed CNC systems and innovative axillary programs at booth N8103.

The state-of-the-art solutions demonstrate how companies in the automotive industry can supply today's high-performance series production of tube systems ever faster and more cost effective.

The new addition to the bending machine expert's axillary program is the innovative chopping tool. It reduces the tube waste by up to 90 per cent and shortens the production times considerably. While the previous process required the use of an external shear in order to separate the component from the tensioning or support device after the bending process, this new tool requires only one work step to complete the bending and separation process.

The "Quick Tool Unlock" provides a phenomenal saving "time-saving" potential. The central clamping device makes changing bending equipment fast and without the use of any additional tools. If different radii are required, elbow-to-elbow systems or tube systems (manifolds and exhaust pipes) must be produced, Schwarze-Robitec recommends tool bending machines with multi-radius bending tools that can be adjusted individually. One more highlight at the trade show is the new CNC machine control system.

During the execution of the current process, this control system prepares already the subsequent work step. The operation of the system is intuitive and the relaunch of the state-of-the-art design contributes to an ergonomic and efficient procedure.
