Unison enhances twin-head tube bender
|
|
Unison is announcing a new version of its all-electric twin-head CNC bending machinery offering broader application versatility. Among the new features is the ability to bend to smaller radii, a shorter distance between bends, plus enhanced control and HMI software, with features including a monitoring facility to help deal with variations in material quality The latest version of the twin-head machine offers a five-axis solution for bending symmetrical parts, with left and right bending heads situated on twin carriages, plus a central rotation control axis The machine range can bend tubes (and other materials such as rod, flat stock and aluminium profiles) with diameters from 16 to 50mm (0.63 to 2in) and to angles of up to 180deg. On the new machine the radius of bends that are possible has been extended to a range from 1in to 5in (25.4mm-127mm). The minimum centre distance has also been reduced to 11in (279mm) with a special version having the ability to get down to 8in (203mm) - extending the versatility of parts that can be fabricated. New machine control and Windows human-machine interface software has also been produced for the bender. The software includes a utility that captures data on torque values that each machine axis applies during a programmed bending operation. By comparing the torque required to bend new material batches against stored references, users can identify any changes in the quality of material to track the ongoing performance of a manufacturer's materials supplier. Alternatively, the data can be used to adjust the parameters during bending operations, to overcome differences in the amount of spring back and so on. Another update includes black-box software that automatically stores instructions entered by the operator, along with details of machinery positions from the servo motor sensors. http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/unc/unc115.html |
