system, it is possible to achieve multi- and variable-radius bending on the same tube in the same cycle. The machine and its control system also has the advantage of facilitating bends with very little straight between them, and even compound bends.


Unlike hydraulic systems all  parameters are set and managed using the Siemens touchscreen  through use of absolute encoders that eliminate all conventional sensors, further advantages of this system are increased reliability, performance and reduced maintenance costs.
