By this bending principle the workpiece (a tube or a profile) is pushedthrough a fixed and movable toolingpart. The movable part is controlledby CNC. Depending on the move-ment of that tooling element, thetube or profile is bend threedimen-sional. Bending radius, bendingangle and bend direction is influen-ced in that movement.

J. Neu GmbHFreeformbending Machines

The main advantages of freeformbending over conventional bending (draw bending or stretch bending) are as follows:

• one set of tooling per round tube diameter or profile can bend different radii• different radii can follow each other without straight.• for bending operations with no straight between the bends, no special bending die and clamp die is necessary.

• sensitive material like aluminium and stainless steel can be bend with perfect surface quality without scratches or clamp marks

• complicated bend geometries can be modified only by means of software without hardware changes (stretchbending).

• continous pushing of the material instead of drawing guarantees almost no thinning of the outer bend. The forming ability of the material remains almost untouched and wallthickness can be reduced. All bend applications need a stable behaviour with no risc of failure.

• especially hydroforming operations can be effected in one step, without heat treatment. Major changes in the shape can be effected by maintaining an even material structure in bending.

• CAD-data can be read by the Laser measuring system and transformed automatically in a bending program. After scanning the first sample the software automatically calculates the better next program. Feasibility studies as well as automated programming are possible with this tool.

• conventional bending has the disadvantage of a lot of idle movement during bending. Freeformbending is much faster and can create a substantial higher output. Means that bend parts can be produced at lower cost.

• many customers run freeformbending machines with robot technology for automated loading and unloading.
