942XE

The 942XE is a tube bending machine of the Linear series for tubes with a diameter of up to 42 mm. Its most notable feature is its extreme compactness. This completely electric CNC tube bending machine has a minimal bending head equipped with direct transmission and a compact chassis that ensure rigidity, efficiency, and the ability to bend tubes that normally require a double bending direction. Its compactness also enables this machine to integrate perfectly in automated work cells. Like the other machines in the Linear series, this compact tube bending machine can also produce multistack-multiradius bends and can work with tools for variable-radius thrust bending. The simplicity of manual reconfiguration of the bending direction from right to left by the operator optimises the machine’s flexibility. In addition, the 942XE can be equipped with busbar profile tooling to perform in-cycle plate and edge bending and twisting processes. The 942XE can be fitted simultaneously with several tools with different bending radii and clamping, as well as already existing tools. The 942XE can use all the accessories designed for the other linear tube bending machines to perform the client’s specific production requirements. The horizontal dynamics of the plane positioner limit damage to the machine in the event of components collisions. The use of linear guide rails and recirculating ball carriages for the 942XE’s linear movement reduces wear and improves performance. The machine can produce bends with a CLR/DIA ratio even less than 0.8 at a high production rate. The machine’s 9 axes are driven by absolutely digital electric motors with Fully Electric technology and controlled by Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl. Using the intuitive three-dimensional UII (User ISO Interface) software on a 19” LCD touch screen, the operator can interact with the machine to program, simulate, and optimise the bending sequence for producing the pieces. This machine is designed to integrate into Smart Factory system.
