chipless tube cutting.
“We wanted to offer the visitors the opportunity to
view our technologies comfortably and from many
perspectives. The VR solution was of course a clear
choice and many were quite impressed with it. In
the meantime the viewing options here are very
comfortable and very easily applied as a means to
convey the various purposes of our machines. There
were quite a few exciting discussions and the trade
show was especially successful for us this year”, sums
up Stefanie Flaeper, CEO at transfluid.
VR insights into chipless tube cutting ...
The transfluid VR app provided the capability to
experience four machines in operation in a virtual
workshop, such as the t cut RTO 628 chipless orbital
cutting system. It makes extremely precise and clean
cutting results possible - with cutting quantities of
up to 1,600 units / hour. The tubes can be further
processed immediately, such as by implementing
forming at the cutting surface directly. And because
the tubes are stress-strained during cutting at
different torques depending on the size, the cutting
point is protected from collapsing.
With 3D glasses, the guests were given the ability to
view two mandrel bending machines in operation
at the same time at the transfluid trade show booth.
As a right-hand / left-hand bending machine, the t
bend DB 622 CNC R/L provides a greater amount
of freedom, even if the existing space is tight, and it
solves the implementation of even the most complex
geometries.
In the process, it is ideally suitable for processing
smaller tubes of up to 22 mm diameter, while
having the capability to quickly change the bending
direction. This is performed in less than two
seconds. Bending is occurs using two bending
heads. A standing variant bends towards the right
and a suspended bending head bends towards the
left. The second mandrel bending machine that
was presented digitally was a t bend DB 2090 CNC
VE. This fully automatic solution bends round and
square tubes with a diameter of between 20 and 90
mm at an impressive repetition accuracy and quality.
The system also makes it possible to free form large
bending radii.

… up to combined forming and mandrel bending
The combination machine REB 632/SRM 622 CNC
ensures twice the number of forming options.
What was already quite impressive during the
virtual presentation in Chicago ensures in practical
operations that the benefits of the rolling and axial
tube forming can be taken advantage of together.
This allows a compressed geometry to be re-rolled, for
example, or to perform a cut prior to the axial tube
forming. Tool changes are quickly implemented.
The transfluid mandrel bending machine DB
2090 CNC VE bends tubes with a diameter of
between 20 to 90 mm fully automatically.
