PLC Based Control for Semi-Automatic Tube Benders

PLC Based Control for Semi-Automatic Tube Benders

The HMT Model 1AXB+ control system is used on semi-automatic tube bending machines of all types. Our PLC based control system was first developed in 1991 to upgrade aging single axis tube benders during the rebuild process.

The 1AXB+ uses a touch screen for entering bend angles and part data. The system has a configurable storage capability with memory expansion if needed. The control has manual push buttons and selector switches for high use operations to preserve the life of the touch screen from repeated operations.

HMT 1AXB+ Features:

  • Automatic and manual modes
  • Configurable memory storage of part programs
  • Accuracy capability is 1/10th degree
  • Proportional control of hydraulic bend axis supported
  • Programmable pressure control Supported
  • 3 axis semi-automatic bending supported
  • Boost bending with variable pressure during bend supported
  • Robust design with off the shelf non-proprietary components
  • Allen-Bradley PLC based with standard ladder logic program
  • Operator learning curve = Minutes!
  • Prompts and menus to guide operator
  • Adapts to loading devices, robots and secondary operations
