When developing the compact and mobile horizontal bending machine the focus was clearly set on the production of true-to-size helices, like, for example, handrails for spiral staircases. This is the supreme discipline since two parameters influencing each other (radius and inclination) have to be united to a true-to-size geometry in a bend. The principle here is the interplay between tube calculation on the PC, implementation on the bending machine and then control via measuring devices with final correction of the bending values, which ensures accurately fitting bending. Tube calculation on the PC gives support by only few and simple input required and provides a DIN A4 sheet via the local printer containing all necessary bending and correction data for working on the machine. A new powerful drive concept enables continuously variable setting of the bending speed and only requires a 230 V AC power connection. Hardened steel tools as well as surface-protecting hard plastic tools are available. In order to ensure optimum feed also with narrow bending radii, all three bending shafts are driven. Also at daily hard work in the plane when bending tubes and profiles, this drive system has proven its worth. Customers using the bending system 6000 have the possibility to purchase the roll bending unit without a drive. The roll bending unit with the designation RB43 can be placed onto the bending shaft of the bending system 6000 without requiring tools. Here the machine serves as a drive unit.
