SMART

A compact, smart and ultrafast tube bender

Parts always right from the start

You can always count on repeatability and geometric precision of the final part, regardless of shape and material.

SMART compensates for errors due to the elastic return of the bent tube to always have the part Right First Time, reducing waste and set-up times to a minimum.

Designed for very tight bends

Also designed for very tight curves, the machine adapts the working parameters to the reactions of the material such as elongation and springback, dosing all the actions on the tube during the entire processing phase so as to obtain curves with an average radius considerably lower than 1D.

Ideal when you have aesthetic needs and very limited spaces.

For bending special tubes

Flanges, fittings, flexible or corrugated parts. With SMART you can bend any type of tube. Ideal when upstream of the curvature there are processes such as end-forming or the fitting to other elements. 

For bending busbar

Produce busbars for electrical power distribution. With SMART, you can bend and twist the metal strips to obtain the common components of both the energy and e-mobility sectors.

Quick change of equipment

Change bending equipment quickly and easily. Thanks to the quick change system you can do it in just 3 minutes. The set-up is automatic and you are immediately ready for a new production.

Simplicity of loading and unloading

The direct loading configuration is the ideal solution for those who prefer manual or robot loading.

You always have total repeatability of the parts produced, thanks to the stop reference at loading, optical systems for hole search and automatic tube orientation.

Overlapping times, maximum productivity

With the tilting system and the dedicated loader, SMART reduces the cycle time by optimizing the loading phase. The movement is fast and requires no adjustments.

Thousands of feasible parts, thousands of solutions 

You can combine your SMART with a very wide variety of feeders and loaders: simple automatic loaders with high autonomy with the possibility of loading tubes with shaped ends, special loaders for pre-assembled tubes, with deformations at the ends or with flexible parts.

Choose robot integration

Whatever your production context, you know you can insert it easily. Thanks to the integration with robots, SMART is perfect for working 24/7 in complex work islands.

Always reliable

Even when there are no more conditions to continue, special sensors on the machine automatically block production. Thus the processes, even if unattended, are always reliable and safe, with zero waste.

Search for holes and welding

Precise and repeatable results every time: automatically detect holes, slots, and the weld seam.

In-line punching

Save time. Perform in-line punching and manage it from VGP3D to streamline your production.
