Eaton Leonard VB 42 ELEC CNC Tube Bender

The all-electric VB 42 ELEC provides continuous, trouble free production of high strength tubes up to 42mm (1.50") diameter. The standard model includes a wealth of advanced tube bending features, including position- controlled pressure die and position controlled pressure die assist, patented programmable clamp die and reversible bend arm rotation. Precision, hardened, linear roller bearings are incorporated on all moving slides, for smooth, precise positioning and dependability.

A unique, servo-controlled pressure die enables programming of pressure die speed and timing with "Soft Touch" contact against the tube. This feature eliminates pressure die marking of the tube, even on thin wall, soft materials. Additionally, servo control with advanced software automatically calibrates the pressure die reach, without any manual adjustments, enabling quick setup.

The patented servo-controlled clamp die actuator provides constant clamp die gripping force through a wide range, simplifying tool setup and ensuring consistent bend results. Programmable forc of the clamp die is saved in the Lightspeed control for instant adjustment during changeover.

A compact, low interference bend arm provides superior clearance for the most complex part shapes. This design provides maximum clearance from tool post centerline to the front of the bend arm and low spindle height. It efficient bend arm drive system incorporates Eaton Leonard's patented parallel linkage, powered by a high torque servomotor with fast, dynamic response.

Machine programming and monitoring are easily accomplished through the Lightspeed touch screen interface. This versatile operator-friendly control incorporates a PC-based processor and commercially available I/O devices. The Lightspeed control incorporates a 15" high resolution active matrix flat panel display and seperate keyboard for easy programming. Interface to Eaton Leonard's Vector 1 Tube Data Center is standard, providing closed loop inspection and bender data correction.
