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

The linear guideways are also Bosch-Rexroth. The I/O is Beckhoff as it is using the BendPro software. The clamp, pressure die, and mandrel extractor have the same drive-train with a shorter ball screw on the clamp. The machine 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.)
