BLM provides CNC tube bender for exhaust maker

Product Details Supplier Info More products

BLM has provided a CNC tube bender for Racefit, a motorcycle exhaust maker, for the manufacture of titanium exhausts for the motorcycle after-market.

The product allows the company to bend titanium, steel and aluminium tube to a high standard, it claims.

The all-electric BLM Elect-63 CNC tube bender provides precision and control of all the axes positioning, guaranteeing consistent, highly accurate bends.

The machine’s multi-stack tool mounting facility allows multi- and variable-radius bending of the same tube to take place in a single setup.

Bends with very little straight between them, including compound bends, can also be accommodated, along with tight bends that can have a radius less than the tube diameter.

All critical machine setting parameters are managed by the Siemens 840D SL CNC ‘Solution-Line’ control system, which interfaces with BLM’s VGP3D graphical programming and simulation software to provide fully automatic, interpolated, simultaneous movement of all nine machine axes.

This eliminates dead time within the tube bending cycle and effectively de-skills the tube bending process previously so reliant on individual operator expertise.
