Form-Line 1.0 – 1″ CNC Tube Bender

1″ BENDER FROM TUBE-LINE TECHNOLOGIES

The Form-Line 1.0 is a fully-electric tube bender with a unique head offset for maximum clearance. It is made in America and utilizes the reliable BendPro G2 control. The Form-Line 1.0 is an all-electric CNC tube bender that allows precision programming of all axes to control the rotary draw bending process. It comes standard with a programmable in line clamp that allows for easy and repeatable tooling set-up. The Form-Line Series utilizes a blue and grey color scheme to not only highlight its elegant design, but also to stand up to harsh production environments.

Description

BOSCH-Rexroth MS2N Motors With Inverter Drives

The linear guideways are also Bosch-Rexroth. The I/O is Beckhoff as it is using the BendPro software. The bender has 9,500 in-lbs of torque (ie. a 1.000 OD x .025 WT (mild steel) on a 1″ CLR requires 7,700 in-lbs of torque; a 1.000 OD x .035 WT (304 sstl) on a 1.0″ CLR requires 8,700 in-lbs of torque.)
