Advanced DGT
SOCO’s unique DGT technology ( Direct Gear Transmission ) is the worldwide patented bending system that brings you the most efficient and stable bending process, offering the highest accuracy and repeatability in draw and roll bending.
The Advantages of DGT
- Chain free transmission
- Built-in gearbox with direct connection to electric servo
- Highest transmission performance ( 90%+ efficiency ) against other gear based systems
- High bending accuracy ( +- 0.05° ~ +-0.1° )
- Low noise level
- Maximum Working Area = Minimal Interference
- Elongated neck for superior clearance (***)
- Compact bending head
- Side carriage and bending head (***)
2C - The SOCO DBS System
This patented Double Blade Shearing System may be implemented on all SOCO Booster benders. Some of the features:
- The Double Blade Shearing System allows for automation of bending and cutting
processes in one machine, from a single tube
- This system creates the least amount of cutting deformation, enabling the finished part to
be immediately used for a subsequent process without having to calibrate or deburr it
- By bending and cutting continuously, there is virtually no waste between bends, saving
vast amounts of material per year
- Savings on space, manpower, machinery and material, while increasing production rates
- Higher precision and quality in finished parts, as the bent part does not need to be
manually taken to a separate machine to be cut into pieces on a semi-automatic saw
- The software allows for programming up 4 different parts on the same stock material,
maximizing utilization of the complete tube.
