WIDENING THE BENDING SYSTEMS FOR OBTAINING NARROWER BENDS
SMI shoots on the market e new cartridge: the MAGNUM technology
SMI s.r.l. Sistemi Meccanici Industriali manufactures since 1978 a vast range of automatic, PLC and CNC controlled machinery and equipment for working every kind of tubes & pipes, in various diameters and thicknesses, mainly in automatic cycle starting from coil.
The bending lines – without mandrel – of the SILVER series are well-known and spread around the world. They maintained into the years their recognized stability & robustness and at the same time they developed themselves in terms of flexibility and versatility, following the new bending challenges of the market while keeping a watchful eye on the future.
SMI is constantly seeking for new solutions and the most recent example is indeed the Magnum SILVER.
The Magnum adopts an innovative “all in one” bending head that – thanks to its 8 controlled axis – permits to use three different bending systems:
This special bending head permits to reach close shapes (typically spirals) with touching bends, one on the other, tube on tube.
The Magnum’s power and strength make it especially suitable for processing ferrous materials with thick thickness, tubes with small straight parts, bends without lubrication and many other options, thanks to its unique without mandrel bending system.
The axis interpolation gives to the machine many economic benefits which are conspicuous for the utilizer who can change the bending method according to the product to be process, giving a short payback to the investment.
The main advantages of the Magnum technology are:
- Calibration and straightening of many tube diameters, all equipped on the revoler group (GRR)
- QCS – Quick Changeover SystemsPatented orbital cutting system
- Feeding clamp synchronized with the bending clamp for traction bending of ferrous materials with thick thickness.
- Counter bending system by traction and compression clamp with “0” obstructions
- Bending arm L. 1400 mm.
- Innovative system for discharging the bending power on the arm.
- Minimal lubrication, deactivable if not required.
- Macchine ready for 4.0 Industry
