Induction bending takes an innovative route

摘要

A Technology CPU controls the hydraulic and electrical axes of large induction bending machinesPrecision control of hydraulic and electrical drive axes is essential for high reproducible quality in the induction bending of large, thick-walled pipes. A leading manufacturer of bending machines has coordinated the interplay by means of a PLC with integral motion control and hydraulic functions. This approach is highly accurate, dispenses with a separate hydraulic control, and simplifies and standardises the handling - as well as being cost-effective.
