Special Fabtech – Schwarze Robitec

Taking fully electric tube and pipe bending to the next level 

Schwarze-Robitec is to present a world first at Fabtech – the biggest fully electric multiple-radius tube and pipe bending machine featuring transport boost technology. By showcasing the CNC 220 E TB MR , the traditional German company will demonstrate how complex tube geometries with diameters of up to eight inches can be produced swiftly, flexibly and efficiently. By delivering consistent precision during the tube and pipe bending process, the new machine enables users to achieve high productivity in their production processes – regardless of batch size.  Extraordinary in terms of dimensions and capacity – Schwarze-Robitec’s new product represents a milestone in the production of fully electric, multi-stack tube and pipe bending machines. Forming part of the High-Performance-series, the CNC tube and pipe bending machine is unique in terms of the capacity it offers. It was developed by the tube and pipe bending machine specialist for one of its American customers active in the automotive industry. The machine fully meets the high requirements it faces in terms of short cycle times, top speed and maximum flexibility. The maximum bending capacity of the CNC 220 E TB MR amounts to a diameter of up to eight inches. The multi-stack tube and pipe bending machine can bend an especially broad spectrum of tube and profile dimensions. It can process tube and pipe lengths of up to 13 feet, with a vertical height-adjustable pressure die moving to the required bending level in each individual case. This enables users to better gauge the requisite bending forces and consistently apply the optimal contact pressure to the tubes and pipes they plan to bend.
