Follow on Google News | In 6 seconds from a coil to a tube connector automaticallyManufacturing system from transfluid creates short straight lengths after bending and forming
By: transfluid Chipless tube cutting and precise tube rolling The special transfluid manufacturing cell enables the coil to be handled directly. In the first manufacturing stage, the tubing (in a diameter range from 8 to 22 millimetres) After the cutting process, the tube ends - where the hose is connected - are compressed in a transfer line. Then a subsequent component of the line rolls and polishes the surface. This rolling technology from transfluid allows for short clamping lengths and the forming of practically any geometry. Reliable bending after tube forming After the axial and rotary end forming process, the t motion manufacturing cell automatically bends 80% of the parts by 40 to 120 degrees. The particular benefit of the process as a whole is primarily that the extremely short parts must be formed and then bent on both sides, which means there are practically no straight sections. "The challenge during development was quite clearly combining the high quality requirements with a time-efficient manufacturing process", says Stefanie Flaeper, Managing Director of transfluid. "In realising this system, our team has ensured that deformations of the tubes is ruled out throughout the process, and that the surface and any previous tube forming operations are preserved throughout the entire process." A cycle time of 6 seconds makes this high-quality production method an economical solution, especially for short parts. End
