Model 18 Multi-layer Mold Numerical Control Pipe Bender
CNC pipe bender Copper pipe bend steel pipe bend Small pipe bend servo pipe bend High speed
This CNC pipe bender is applicable to the processing of metal pipe fittings with a diameter of less than 18mm. With its ultra-high bending speed and bending accuracy, this machine provides customers with stronger market competitiveness. The machine is reserved with truss robot interface, and can form an automatic bending workstation with an external automatic feeding rack.

Working Principle

The model 18 multi-layer mold numerical control pipe bender adopts three power sources, namely servo motor, compressed air and hydraulic pressure, to drive the equipment, so as to realize high-speed and accurate digital control pipe bending.
The disassembly actions of the machine include clamping, bending, core pulling, feeding, pipe turning, demoulding and mold changing.
Action flow of full-automatic bending:
1. Clamping pipe fittings (hydraulic drive, including two pipe clamping actions of main clamp and guide clamp);
2. Elbow (driven by servo motor, elbow is driven by planetary reducer and spiral bevel gear drive);
3. Feeding (driven by servo motor, with planetary reducer and gear rack vice drive for pipe feeding and positioning);
4. Feeding (driven by servo motor, the straight-line distance between the two bending angles is positioned during continuous bending);
5. Rotating pipe (driven by servo motor, using planetary reducer and sprocket chain drive to rotate and position pipe fittings);
6. Rotating pipe (driven by servo motor, the space angle between two bending arc planes is positioned during continuous bending);
7. Demoulding (driven by servo motor to control the pipe fittings to be separated from / close to the bending wheel mold);
8. Mold change (driven by servo motor, when installing multiple sets of bending molds at the same time, realize the switching between mold layers)
9. Core pulling (hydraulic drive, used when bending thin-wall and small radius pipe fittings, can be closed);

Equipment Characteristics

Mitsubishi plc+ absolute value servo realizes full closed loop control
In order to further improve the bending accuracy, the CNC pipe bending machine adopts Mitsubishi high-end series plc+ absolute value servo, and realizes the full closed-loop control of the precision engraving machine level through the control mode of EtherCAT communication, avoiding the accuracy loss caused by signal interference, pulse loss, origin loss and other reasons in the traditional control mode.
Advantech host computer + independent pipe bending machine CNC system to realize the diversification of equipment functions
Based on the Advantech host computer as the hardware carrier, the equipment independently developed the numerical control system of the pipe bending machine. In addition to the basic functions of the pipe bender, the CNC system also develops the functions of pipe fitting 3D graphics import self programming, pipe fitting 3D preview, dynamic machining simulation, remote diagnosis assistance and so on.
Unlimited programming mode and diversified automatic workstation scalability
The control system of this machine is designed with unrestricted self editing mode, which can edit any manual action into an automatic workflow, greatly improving the flexibility of equipment action. In addition, MES, robot, three coordinate and other interfaces are reserved to facilitate the extension and development of automatic workstation.
Rigid transmission to improve accuracy and responsiveness
The bending action of the CNC pipe bender is controlled by servo motor + precision reducer + fine grinding spiral teeth. The whole transmission chain is connected by steel, which further improves the response accuracy of the bending angle.
Multi layer mold structure design to improve product compatibility
The model 18 multi-layer die CNC pipe bender is designed as a multi-layer die structure, which can install multiple sets of dies at the same time, so as to be suitable for more complex pipe bending.
Selection of high-quality accessories and manufacturing of precision parts
The self-made parts of this machine are produced in strict accordance with the requirements of manufacturing materials and technology. The purchased parts are products of famous brands such as Taiwan and Japan to ensure the quality of the equipment.

Video Presentation

This video shows a 15mm automotive air conditioning pipe elbow, which is made of aluminum. The bending radius of the pipe is small, and the pipe contains the bending angle of a very short clamping section. This equipment adopts multi-layer molds and designs profiling fixtures to successfully complete product bending, and the overall bending action is accurate and fast.
