Modern Tube Bending Machinery
Tube bending companies are faced with a huge variety of equipment and features available on the market today. This presentation will step through those options and discuss the various part considerations and machine options. Specific items for discussion will include basic bending methods, hybrid technology, “all electric” terminology, robotic bending machinery and automation of bending machines. The intent is to match job requirements with budget and technology.

Latest Tube Bending Machine Concepts - Creating New Opportunities for Today's Manufacturing
Typical tube bending applications are part of a modern manufacturing environment. Tube bending itself is one important process of a whole process chain. Latest machine concepts offer new opportunities to change traditional process chains and are prepared to do more than bending in a modern efficient overall Process. The use of these new opportunities in combination with an open mindset of end users will create more flexible and more efficient process chains. It enables new possibilities in all production processes around tube bending and will bring metal manufacturing to a new level. It opens new avenues for a variety of innovations and technology solutions for which numerous patent applications are already pending. Initial systems are already launched, which broaden the horizon of the metal manufacturing world.

New Development Within High Pressure Hydroform Technology
This presentation will provide an overview on the benefits of high pressure hydroforming for sheet metal fabrication. This technology can be used in several high profiles industries such as aerospace (civil and defense), automotive, space, and commercial vehicles. We will present case studies on how low cost tool methods can save users up to 80% over traditional stamping designs. We will also show a typical business case to show return on investment.
