American manufacturer of tube bending equipment Horn Machine Tools, Inc., has introduced a line of all electric CNC benders from 2" to 10" capacity.
The machines are based on the design of the HMT hybrid benders with the clamp and pressure die now equipped with large electric servomotors. The machines are 100% domestically designed and produced at the company's Madera, CA, facility.
The all-electric benders have special features, which can include "Quad Stack" design allowing the user to mount up to four sets of full size bend tools at once. This gives the flexibility to switch between sizes rapidly or allows for greater capability to bend complex shapes. The machines can also be equipped with a shearing device and load/unload automation for continuous production.
These machines are designed intentionally for 24/7 production. They are built to bend very tight radius stainless steel on the rated diameter size. Draw bending in combination with push rolling capability are included as standard features.
Removing the hydraulics and implementing all digital servo systems with fewer components, less wiring and greater remote diagnostics capability enhances system reliability.
"Our machines bend tube very fast, but high production tube bending is not simply a matter of faster bending speed, it is a combination of all the axes moving fast in simultaneous motion to reduce non-value added cycle time," said Kent Horn, President. "Fast clamping, stack shifting and carriage positioning are going to improve production rates as well as bending speed."
The machines are equipped with the BendPro CNC control which is designed for simple to use yet very powerful features for teach moves, cycle time optimization and remote troubleshooting capability.
