Straightening The tube is straightened by a series of rollers.
Calibration Special calibration rollers and the passage through the mandrel perform calibration, compensating for any dents or external or internal imperfections of the tube..
End-forming The end-forming module is available with 6 fixed punches or 4 fixed punches and 1 rotating punch for trimming/chamfering.
Bending Mandrel or non-mandrel bending by rotary draw bending or compression bending, including fixed and variable multi-radius. All technologies can be combined on the same part, in automatic sequence and without reworking.
Drilling Dedicated drilling units with spindle or Collar Drill can operate at any point of the tube, even in bends.
Orbital Cutting The orbital cutting mounted on the mandrel can perform pre-scoring during the bending process and cutting at the end of the last bend, maintaining excellent edge quality thanks to the internal support of the mandrel.
Saw blade cutting Cutting can be performed using orbital or saw cutting devices.
Unloading The automatic unloading device is fully-integrated into the work cycle and managed by the CNC.

Drilling
From coil with mandrel
Creates bends with high aesthetic finish and minimal ovalization.
The magnetically suspended mandrel inside the tube is an innovative and patented solution (nr. EP2281643), allowing perfect bends even when working from coil.
Right- and left-hand compression or rotary draw bending
Produces 3D parts and extremely complex serpentine shapes without compromising bend quality or straight section lengths.
PRO-RUNNER allows right- and left-hand bending of tube from coil in-process by compression or rotary draw, with multi-radius capabilities.
Variable radius
Reduce cycle time and create wider, more sophisticated curves with any center line radius.
Variable radius bending offers many advantages, an all-electric system managed by VGP3D is the most precise way to perform it.
Tool change
Rapid tooling changeover, the setup is automatic and the assembly is ultra simple.
End-of-bend cutting
You can remove the last straight section of the tube by cutting at the end of the last bend.
The orbital cutting mounted on the collet allows you to eliminate subsequent trimming on dedicated machines.
Mobile orbital cutting
Maximize productivity with Mobile orbital cutting.
The orbital cutting mounted on the mandrel moves in unison with the tube to perform cutting during the bending process, improving quality and productivity.
Recalibrating cutting
Produces perfect, deformation-free cut edges.
In recalibrating cutting, the mandrel passes inside the section just cut with the orbital, recalibrating the edge diameter and eliminating any deformations both inside and outside the tube.
Spindle motor
Always perfect holes, even in bends.
Thanks to the optional spindle motor mounted on the bending arm, drilling is performed after bending.
This allows you to make holes at any point of the tube, even in curves, without affecting circularity due to material deformation.
Collar Drill
Simplifies subsequent pipe assembly operations.
With the Collar Drill device, you create collared holes that facilitate the following manufacturing or assembly steps.
Choose the safety for your job
PRO-RUNNER is CE certified and designed with safety features to protect the operator during machine operation preventing the operator coming into contact with the moving parts of the machine or reel.
You decide where to start
Choose the coil feeder that best suits your production or space requirements: vertical, horizontal or Jumbo. The tube advancement and recovery is performed in-process and the motor is controlled in both directions. The feeder may be used in idle mode by selecting the function on the VGP3D program which is fully integrated with the machine software.
