Lang Tube Tec to provide optimized Bend Motion Control for tube bending machines

Lang Tube Tec has released a new software version for the tube bender control BEND Motion Control on basis of a Siemens Simotion D4xx platform. This latest and greatest release of the new software optimizes the production process of our customers.does providing the operators with additional features facilitating work and making production more efficient.

Automatic Set-Up Cycle:

Set up of part clamping and pressure die position no longer requires manual positioning by an operator. The new module includes an automatic set-up cycle, which allows optimum positioning of these two units. The automatic defined values are directly taken over into the bending part program. Always when the same part program is called up later by the operator, these values are automatically verified by the machine before change-over into the production process.

Cycle time optimization:

Quicker, cheaper and more flexible are only a few of the catchwords dominating all production processes. The new module cycle time optimization is the answer to this trend.

Standard optimization such as simultaneous movements on several axes as for example tube rotation and transportation is already quite well know, especially for use on all-electric tube bending machines.

But the new module goes far beyond that functionality, because in excess to simultaneous movements possible movements are anticipated and drives already positioned for the next bending step while the actual bending process is still running to reduce time. In order to be able to do this on most of the important axes of the CNC-E and CNC-EMR bender series have been implemented dynamic limit switches. This does allow movement to anticipated positions while avoiding any collision.

Additional service and maintenance functions

Last but not least the new release includes extensive maintenance and diagnosis functions. Combined with comprehensive help functions this can help to reduce or even avoid downtime significantly
