Features required to precisely bend tubes with thin walls and are of a solid, sturdy design to also bend heavy-wall pipes. 4. Tube Capacity: 2.0" (51 mm) OD x .125" (3.18 mm) WT x 2D minimum CLR 5. Pipe Capacity: 1-1/2" IPS (1.900"; 49") x Schedule 40 (.145"; 3.68 mm) x 3D minimum CLR 35,000 psi ( 241 MPa) yield, 35% Elongation 6. Maximum Centerline Radius (CLR) of bend: 10.0" (254 mm) 7. Bend Arm Movement, max: 195 8. Tube/Pipe Length over Mandrel: 10 Ft. (3.05 M) 9. Clamping: Hydraulic toggle type, Drop-away for Clamp Die, Direct acting for Pressure Die 10. Nominal System Voltage: 208 Volts / 3 phase / 60 Hz Controls voltage is 24 VDC for operator safety. 11. Swing Arm Safety Plate: Stops bending if any obstruction is encountered. Ensures operator safety. 12. Degree-of-Bend (DOB) Axis Definition: MOVEMENT - Hydraulic Powered, POSITION CONTROL - Controller Based, Programmable MEMORY - 100 Programs each of up to 10 bends. 13. Control System: Must be touch screen with quick programming specifically designed for bending and is logically laid out for proper bending sequencing. 14. The rail and carriage allows for mechanical presetting of up to 10 planes of bend (POB) and distance between bends (DBB). When in Synchro Mode, incorporated PLC will interlock all three axes (DOB, POB and DBB) to ensure correct tube alignment before bending can occur. 15.
