Crippa Up & Down Series 1025E

CNC tube bending machine with full automatic cycle. The 1025E is a CNC tube bending machine from the UP&DOWN series for tubes up to a diameter of 25 millimetres and a thickness of 3 millimetres, with an installed power of 12kW. The peculiarity of this machine is the cross movement of the head. This feature makes it possible to automatically process the most complex tube geometries - which generally require post-processing operations - without manual intervention by the operator. The cross movement not only allows the passage between one plane and the other and double bending directions, but also integration with the loading and unloading cycle. The clamp is synchronised with the pressure-die on the machine to open upper and lower work planes simultaneously. The 1025E is a multiradius and multistack machine (it has at least 6 work planes). Thanks to its high vertical excursion, it can simultaneously use multiple tools with different radii and clamping. All movements of the machine are on roller or sphere recirculation guides which do not require lubrication and cause less wear compared to traditional guides. Efficiency is also guaranteed by high-load sphere recirculation screws, which control the movements of the clamp and pressure-die. The 10 controlled axes that govern the machine’s movements are driven by digital motors with “Full Electric” technology and controlled by a CNC Siemens 840D sl. Using this technology ensures high quality, energy savings, reduced set-up/start up time and minimal scrap. In addition, maximum efficiency and energy saving are guaranteed by pneumatic vertical balancing, which makes it possible to use a smaller motor with higher performance levels. The high production rate, the wide range of accessories for specific processes with which it can be implemented, and the ability to produce bends with a CLR/DIA ratio lower than 0.8 or thrust bends with variable radius make this machine suitable for use in sectors where efficiency and productivity are prime requirements. This tube bending machine can also be integrated into work cells. The 1025E is equipped with a three-dimensional graphical software on a 19” LCD Touch screen, from which the operator can interact intuitively with the machine. The UII (“User Iso Interface”) facilitates programming, making it possible to simulate and optimise the bending programs. The 1025E is designed to be integrated into Smart Factory systems.
