Form-Line 2.0 – 2″ CNC Tube Bender

2″ BENDER FROM TUBE-LINE TECHNOLOGIES

The Form-Line 2.0 is the first in a series of rugged fully-electric tube benders. It is made in America and utilizes the reliable BendPro G2 control. The Form-Line 2.0 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

Every electric CNC tube bender from our line of 2 inch tube benders features state of the art MS2N motors, linear guideways, and inverter drives from Bosch Rexroth to ensure that our tube benders have the power and flexibility to bend a wide range of materials.

The Form-Line 2.0 can be configured at 50,000 in-lbs of torque at 32 RPM or 70,000 in-lbs of torque at 26 RPM. (ie. a 2.000 OD x .049 WT (mild steel) on a 2″ CLR requires 45,000 in-lbs of torque; a 2.500 OD x .049 WT (mild steel) on a 2.5″ CLR requires 71,000 in-lbs of torque.)

 

BendPro G2 Controls and Beckoff I/O

Each tube bender is fitted with a Current Tech BendPro G2 controller allowing every machine to be user friendly while maintaining the highest levels of performance, reliability, and functionality available. The control is additionally paired with Beckoff I/O modules which operate with lightning fast speeds making every machine responsive, and reactive to your needs.
