Work cell integration Higher productivity due to automation TRACTO-TECHNIK has developed different system solutions, flexibly adapted and cut to size to optimize all kinds of applications. With its maximum degree of automation, the pipe bending centre produces almost operator-free the only manual tasks remaining are to fill up the pipe storage and to remove the final bent work pieces. First the pipes are singled out from the pipe storage and precisely aligned lengthwise. A welded seam detection system, with rotational alignment of the pipes, can be added as an option. Depending on the necessity of using a bending man- drel or not, the unprocessed pipe is fed into the machine from the front or the side with a matching grappler system. As soon as the pipe has been bent, it is deposited in a collecting container or laid down with the help of a grappler system, while the next pipe is already waiting, ready to be fed into the machine. Feeding and unloading of the pipes are individually adapted and optimized for the respective application. TUBOTRON 30 mandrel bending machine with With L15A the bending result can be measured portal system for automatic feeding and unloading. and documented online. Quality assurance integrated with pipe bending L1SA: Laser in-Situ Angular Measurement With the optical measuring system L1SA, quality assurance of pipe bending is already integrated in the bending machine and the running production process. Accompanying the work process, every single pipe bend or every nth construction part is examined on tolerance observance while the bending results are recorded. Feedback to the machine control allows process control due to flexible adaptation of the bending parameters in the course of production, i.e., during load change. The measuring precision in practice is performed better than 0.1. L15A builds on a very small scale, and measuring/evaluation takes only fractions of a second to complete. The measuring and evaluation software can be installed directly in the control computer of the pipe bending machine. Besides the module for determining bending results, it also contains calibrating and diagnostic functions.
