Pneuform Wire Bending Blog: Flat Head Bending Machines

Overview

Pneuform flat head wire bending machines can bend mild steel wire from 3mm to 10mm and tubes up to 14mm. They are suited to large predominately 2D parts that need support whilst bending.

With 7 axes controlled by Yaskawa drives, these machines utilise the rotation of the wire rather than moving the head around the part.

They also feature a rise and fall table for part support, offering different manufacturing possibilities.

The UK-designed software based on Unison’s user friendly Unibend software ensures easy setup, and the machines include a de-coiler and four sets of tooling.

High Precision and Accuracy

Pneuform machines offer exceptional precision, which is crucial for applications requiring tight tolerances and consistent quality.

This is especially important in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

Versatility

These machines can handle a wide range of wire diameters and materials, making them suitable for various applications from automotive components to industrial machinery.

Advanced Technology

Pneuform’s twin head machines can bend wires from 3mm to 6mm and tubes from 3mm to 10mm, utilizing up to 16 axes.

These machines also feature Yaskawa servos and the industry-leading UK-designed software based on Unison’s user friendly Unibend controls.

The clamping mechanism transfers long straight components, bending from the outer bends towards the centre before moving to an output conveyor.

Efficiency and Productivity

Automation and advanced control systems increase production speed and consistency, reducing setup times and boosting overall productivity. This is ideal for high-volume production runs.

Durability and Reliability

Built with high-quality materials and robust construction, Pneuform machines are designed to withstand rigorous industrial use, ensuring long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs.

Customization and Flexibility

The machines can be customized with additional features such as end forming and notching, making them adaptable to specific production requirements and increasing their application range.

Applications

  • Automotive: seat wire frames.
  • Retail and POS Displays: Various wire forms for display parts.
  • Tube Applications: Brewery coolers and air conditioning pipework.
