LH Configuration Added to Tube Bending Series

BLM GROUP has announced the addition of left-hand configuration capability to its ELECT 102, 130 and 150 bender models, expanding this capability to the entire ELECT family. Now fabricators processing tubes or pipes with diameters of up to 6" can choose the bending direction they use most: right- or left-handed.

With multiple tool stack capability, the ELECT benders can produce fixed and variable radii in a single set-up.

"The all-electric operation provides energy efficient production, and eliminates the need for hose and piping associated with hydraulic systems," said a company spokesperson. "This helps to simplify maintenance and improve reliability for more consistent bending.

These 9-axis or 10-axis systems are suited for tube production in a variety of industries, including agricultural, automotive and aerospace.

The ELECT benders are available with manual or automatic loading with the ability to position the automatic loader to the left or right of the machine. Additionally, a special loading cycle is available for heavy tube or multi-ball mandrels. The BLM ELECT tube benders can incorporate automatic tube bundle loading and a handling robot for a complete turn-key solution that manages the entire tube loading and unloading sequence.

"A key benefit of BLM GROUP benders is the associated software, which eliminates trial and error programming for mistake-free production right from the start," said the spokesperson. "This ease of use eliminates the need for highly trained and skilled operators, while achieving quick production changeover and less waste."
