Form-Line 3.0 – 3″ CNC Tube Bender

3″ BENDER FROM TUBE-LINE TECHNOLOGIES

The Form-Line 3.0 is a popular model in rugged fully-electric tube benders. It is made in America and utilizes the reliable BendPro G2 control. The Form-Line 3.0 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 150,000 in-lbs of torque (ie. a 3.000 OD x .065 WT (mild steel) on a 3″ CLR requires 135,000 in-lbs of torque; a 3.000 OD x .049 WT (316 sstl) on a 3.0″ CLR requires 134,000 in-lbs of torque.)
