TUBE CUTTING SYSTEM
Production optimization is an increasingly important topic. In order to save time, material, and electricity consumption and to increase the productivity of our machines, we have developed an effective servo-controlled cutting system, without material deformation.
It is a cutting system with a knife integrated into the bending head. This allows cutting in a continuous automatic bending cycle without material waste and post-processing is often not necessary.
LOADING AND UNLOADING SYSTEMS
Aware of the needs of modern industry, new bending machines have been developed with a clear goal: productivity! They are completely designed and prepared for the highest production level 24/7.
Mechanically, they only contain high-quality and low-maintenance components. In terms of software and hardware, they can effortlessly integrate with automatic loading and unloading systems such as tube storage, robots, or manipulators.
Evolutionary Design
Our bending machines are the result of decades of experience in the world of bending. The user experience of thousands of customers worldwide has resulted in unique application-oriented solutions for these machines.
We facilitate human-machine "communication", using visual status indicators and warning messages. We improve operating comfort, preventative maintenance, and corrective actions and increase the safety of the operator and equipment.
CNC Pipe Benders and Tube Benders From One Manufacturer
VLB's EB and ECO Series CNC benders bend both tube and pipe within each model's OD range, so check the series guide above for the size you need. Tube Form Solutions supplies VLB's CNC tube bending machines in the U.S. from Elkhart, Indiana, with installation, training, tooling, service and spare parts. When you compare CNC tube bending machine manufacturers, ask about tooling lead times, local service and spare parts availability. Not sure if you need a tube or a pipe bender?
