Tube Form Center
Application
By rotating the inner and outer tools, the robot holds the tube in a fixed position during the forming process. This process ensures stable processing conditions for long bent tubes and simplifies integration into automated manufacturing cells.
Info
The Tube Form Center is designed as a combined tube end former with internal and external tools for high degrees of forming. For diameters up to 200 mm

manual operation
The tube is positioned on a product-specific fixture. Pneumatic clamps secure the tube in position. A servo-electric slide moves the tube in the forming unit. After forming, the tube can be easily removed. The forming process is operator-independent and ensures a reliable workflow, which is especially beneficial when processing long bent tubes.
production cell
The tube is positioned by the robot during the forming process. By rotating the inner and outer tools, the robot holds the tube in a fixed position during the forming process. This concept provides stable processing conditions for long bent tubes and simplifies integration into automated manufacturing lines.
