Tube Bending Machines Tailor-Made Solutions

Bending to perfection.

In a global and cross-industry sense, the producing industry faces major challenges: Manufacturing processes today not only need to be faster, cheaper and more flexible, they also must simultaneously meet the concerns of sustainability, resource management and individualisation.

Tightened statutory regulations require an even more eco-friendly attitude towards our environment and resources. A reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and reduced fuel consumption in mo-tor vehicles, airplanes and ships is the result. At the same time, the safety needs and the demands for convenience are increas-ing which in turn leads to an increase in the number of built-in components. For this reason, engineers are forced to design com-ponents that are lighter, more compact and powerful overall.

In addition, energy requirements of the world’s population are growing. Alongside promoting the use of renewable energy, what‘s most important is the construction of new power plants and the modernization of existing ones. A decisive factor in this context is the significant increase in the degree of efficiency in power plant processes. This increases the requirements of installing piping systems and pipe materials as these noticeably contribute to improved efficiency.

Modern lightweight construction designs and increasing demands of material properties necessitate the use of new high-strength materials. Processing these materials efficiently, however, poses completely new challenges for most branches of industry as high-strength steels and special materials like aluminium, titanium and CuNiFe make significantly higher demands on metal forming technology.

In order to meet these current trends adequately, a maximum of technical progress and innovation is needed. This starts as early as the efficient production of semi-finished parts. And this is precisely where the bending solutions of Schwarze-Robitec come in. We know exactly what our customers demand of to-day‘s industry and have invested a lot of energy into the research and development so as to create new standards for future tube processing tasks.
