Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine: The intelligent pioneer in pipe processing

The working principle of Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine

Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine usually combines advanced numerical control technology with precise mechanical structure. Take the common CNC pipe bender as an example. It precisely controls the pipe bending process through a computer numerical control (CNC) system. During operation, parameters such as the material of the pipe, pipe diameter, bending radius and bending Angle should be input into the CNC system in advance. Based on these set parameters, the system controls the motor to drive the pipe bending die and related transmission components, enabling the pipe to bend along the predetermined trajectory. For instance, when it is necessary to bend a stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 50mm, with the bending radius set at 100mm and the bending Angle at 90 degrees, the CNC system will precisely control the motor to drive the pipe bending die, bending the pipe to the required Angle and radius at an appropriate speed and force. ​

Features and advantages of Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine

The operation process of Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine

(1) Parameter Settings

The operator first needs to input the corresponding parameters on the Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine according to the material of the pipe to be processed, the pipe diameter, the bending radius, the bending Angle, etc. For complex curved shapes, it may also be necessary to set different parameters for multiple bends. For example, to make an S-shaped elbow pipe, parameters such as the bending radius, Angle and direction of the two bending sections need to be set respectively. ​

(2) Pipe clamping

Place the Pipe to be processed on the pipe clamping device of Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine, ensure that the centerline of the pipe is aligned with the centerline of the pipe bending die, and clamp the pipe firmly with the fixture. Pipes of different diameters may require the replacement of corresponding fixtures to ensure the stability of clamping. During the clamping process, it is necessary to check whether the pipe is installed firmly to avoid loosening during the pipe bending process, which may lead to a decrease in bending accuracy or damage to the pipe. ​

(3) Start the pipe bending

After the parameters are set and the Pipe is clamped, the operator presses the start button and the Intelligent Pipe Twisting Machine begins to run according to the preset parameters. The CNC system controls the motor to drive the pipe bending die, gradually bending the pipe to the set Angle. During the pipe bending process, the operator can observe the progress and status of the pipe bending in real time through the monitoring interface of the equipment. If any abnormality is found, the emergency braking button can be pressed in time. ​

(4) Finished product unloading

When the Pipe is bent, the Intelligent pipe Twisting Machine stops automatically. The operator loosened the fixture and removed the bent pipe from the equipment. For the case of batch production, an automatic unloading device can be set up to improve production efficiency. After unloading, quality inspection is carried out on the finished products, such as measuring whether the bending Angle and radius meet the requirements, and checking whether there are any scratches, wrinkles or other defects on the surface of the pipes. ​

For instance, by using sensors to monitor the stress changes of the pipe during the bending process in real time, the bending speed and force can be automatically adjusted to prevent problems such as pipe rupture or excessive deformation. Meanwhile, Internet of Things (iot) technology will enable remote monitoring and management of devices. Operators can access the operational status, production data and other information of the devices anytime and anywhere through their mobile phones or computers, and conduct remote operations and fault diagnosis. ​

(2) The ultimate pursuit of high precision and high speed

With the increasing demand for Pipe fitting accuracy and production efficiency in various industries, Intelligent pipe Twisting Machine will move towards higher accuracy and higher speed. In terms of accuracy, by adopting more advanced sensors, precise transmission components and optimized control algorithms, the bending accuracy is expected to reach the sub-micron level.
