Tube-bending machines provide precise control
Schwarze-Robitec
This company’s tube-bending systems now include an advanced control system, the NxG 2.0 (photo), which is said to provide improved flexibility and increased production rates for bended products. The system allows operators to bend tubes of many materials into complex geometries. The control systems allows a variety of process parameters to be tracked, so that realtime data can be gathered and evaluated. For instance, integrated sensors provide information on wear values, the consumption of lubricants, the condition of the bending tools, the need for machine maintenance and more. The advanced software and icon interface provide intuitive operation and high process reality. — Schwarze-Robitec GmbH, Cologne, Germany
