TUBE BENDING MACHINE LEVITATE 128E

A tube bending machine unique in the world

Only the tube bending machine LEVITATE is able to BEND TUBES FROM COIL WITH MANDREL (Patend by Simat) 

A smart orbital cut

A MOBILE ORBITAL CUTTING SYSTEM able to cut the tube in an unique way (Patented by Simat):
Cut at the very end of the bend: cut of the tube at the end of the curve without the need to trim the tube later with short ends
Pre-cut while bending: the pre-cut is done in masked time during the bending phase allowing to save cycle time
Recalibrate cutting: the tube, moving on the mandrel after the cutting, is recalibrated to the diameter of the mandrel

Fast and always the same

Towing by means of a clamp supported by ball screw:
the tube is always securely held granting maximum accuracy between the bending planes. The clamp avoids deformations and slippings of the tube due to the feeding of the tube by means of rollers. No more marks on the surface of the tubes due to encoders
Motors with absolute encoders:
There is no need for zeroing with zero sensors or limit switches. The machine is always ready from the moment it is switched on
Zero backlash gearboxes for robotics :
Maximum accuracy and repeatability in positioning

Quickly change production

In tube bending machine Levitate the change of tools is done in few minutes thanks to quick change systems and solutions designed to make operations fast and easy, i.e. the quick change system of the straightening rollers

You can even end-form

 The tube bending machine LEVITATE can be combined with an endforming machine of the MACH series, so in addition to bending and cutting, you can even endform, taper, ram form, mill and roll the ends of the pipes
It is also possible to connect the tube bending machine and the endforming machine with a robot to endform both the ends of the tubes

The factory of the future

Tube bending machines ready for Industry 4.0 to simplify the monitoring of your factory and always control the activities

Respect the environment

Latest generation motors with the reinstatement of the braking current into the network in order to limit consumption
Saving raw material you avoid wastes and scraps  and eliminating all the washing operations you reduce the environmental impact.

Good first take!

Thanks to the GBS3D Simulator you can check the faseability of the product before start the production. A 3D graphic interface shows the vistual generation of the piece and calculates the the possible collisions and reports them. You save material and the pieces are suitable from the first
