Once again Mewag Maschinenfabrik AG has set a cornerstone in the tube bending world. The TERALUS 170 S can now be presented to the public.
The TERALUS 170 S has a new design, a new way of power transmission and a modular structure. This combination has many advantages – not only with respect to bending results but also concerning ergonomic aspects.
The bending sequence of the Teralus was optimized. To change from one level to another within the bending cycle, the tube is moved vertically while the bending head is only moved horizontally. Due to this technology, the TERALUS 170 S could be designed with a very stable machine structure for bending large tube diameters.
Thus MEWAG launches a machine that combines the stability of a big machine with the operator convenience of a small machine.
Latest technology makes it possible …
16 servo axes guarantee complete command of the bending process. The power and speed of each individual machine movement can be programmed.
The design allows it …
The structure of the bending head and machine base has been optimized in such a way that an absolute stability of the supports of all components that are important for the bending process is ensured.
Separate drives for positioning and clamping
Two separate drives each are used for the advance movement of the clamping device and the follow bar support.
Modular construction of clamping unit and follow bar support
Due to the arrangement of two guide systems that support each the advance feed slide on the bottom and on the top of the follow bar support, all torques are reduced to a minimum. Therefore, a compact but highly stable machine structure could be realized.
Gantry drive for advance feed carriage …
Power and stability can also be found here. The tube advance feed carriage is driven by one drive on the top and one on the bottom. This arrangement guarantees high angular synchronous positioning stability without dynamic distortion of the machine base, regardless whether bending takes place in the bottom-most or in the top-most level.
