transfluid develops a new general of combination machines for axial and rolling pipe forming
The technical evolution is mostly targeted at designing new solutions at the state of the art to simplify work and improve results. The engineers at transfluid followed this principle as well, developing a new generation of combination machines that effectively combine the benefits of the axial and rolling forming.
The plants are particularly characterised by their diversity in forming of parts, as Stefanie Flaeper, managing director at transfluid, explains: „Geometries in pipe end machining can be formed directly on the pipe, replacing usually complicated and expensive turned parts. No soldering or welding is needed: The pipe and its end form are virtually from a single cast.“
Flexibly processes
The benefits of this kind of process are clear: Implementation of the combination can be specified by the user directly, or based on the forming geometry. „Usually, up to 6 axial forming stages and at least one rolling unit are used. If trimming, axial and rolling forming are needed, two rolling stations may be required as well,“ says Stefanie Flaeper. „We also call this ‚powered axes‘.“
Single-drive axes for a more compact setup
Pipe machining may include a simple trim or deburring at the pipe end after forming. Because this is not a demanding process-technical challenge, it is sensible to use compact units for this. transfluid has made it possible to equip all axial forming machines and all combination machines with one or several single-drive axes. These axes have a servo-electrical drive and can be used for the forming stages in each of the holders. This makes the system very compact and particularly flexible. Because the transfluid combination machines have electrical drives, all forming tools are positioned very precisely and the machines can be used much more diversely.

transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH – the solution for tubes
transfluid is sought after worldwide as a partner for manufacturing tube bending machines and tube processing machines. Since 1988 transfluid has been further developing its technologies for tube machining, so that it can provide customer-oriented, tailor-made solutions – for plant and machine construction, the automotive and energy industries,
shipbuilding and medical device manufacturing.
transfluid\’s product portfolio offers perfect solutions in five different machine categories, that meet all the requirements in tube processing. t bend stands for a wide range of tube bending machines, which fulfil the highest demands in terms of industrial applications. The tube forming machines in the t form range offer the perfect tube shaping solutions. Tube forming is important as an individual or supplementary process, in order to obtain optimally tailored tubes. Automation systems are offered as fully developed concepts for bending and forming technology, under t motion. t cut covers the field of tube cutting machines. Here, transfluid is able to provide a range of different systems, for example for chipless orbital cutting and special knive separation processes. The category t clean encompasses tube cleaning machines. These ensure the cleanliness of workpieces and tubes. Additionally, with the new tu go range, transfluid offers a standardised portfolio of machinery, which is available from stock for immediate delivery. transfluid offers the powerful software t project for rapid and reliable tube processing. It can be used as an effective online solution for bending machines and the majority of CAD systems.
