CNC Pipe Bender MC-80RS Renewed for 10% production time cut ...

Machine type : CNC Pipe bender MC-80RS (Delivered in 1991)
* Machine application for bending exhaust pipe for vehicles.

Renewal

Deterioration and frequent machine failure with driving and control system of pipe bender

Pipe bender in 20 years of service.

Driving system failure (burnt DC servo drive)
Heavy wear and/or defect being found in bending mechanism parts
Wear and tear of clamp die parts
External memory failure (magnetic cassette drive)
Leakage in the lubrication system.

The machine was in a serious condition with fatal stop over likely when any small but new failure to come.

Renewal plan A (Replacement of driving & control system)

As the machinery ex-Opton are all high in mechanical rigidity and life extension by 10~15 years
is not rare if driving and control system are maintained with those of up-dated version.
With the renewal given to the old versioned machinery, they can still acquire the latest performance at the cost of one half of replacement of new and full investment.

Replacement of worn-out parts in structural and lubrication system in addition to those in driving and control systems.

The machine in this renewal plan has many friction parts facing serious wear and tear over the 20 years service.
and the outcome result is poor quality of the production.
These friction parts are replaced or position-adjusted to recover the original performance.
Hydraulic parts (mainly hoses and seals) are found degraded, causing leak-related machine failures.
These parts are replaced for stable machine motion.
Opton’s latest controller (TIF-O Next generation NC) is once installed the bender,
the operation and performance of the bender is up-graded to those of the latest version.
3D profiler is, once linked to the bender, will show great power in the production set-up and quality control

Production time reduced by 10%, more friendly operation and quality stability

・By replacing the driving system with the latest version of AC servo drive, may advantages are seen including machining speed enhanced by 5%,
fewer outcome of failure and eventually increase of productivity and cost reduction.
・By implementing the controller system of the latest controller computer, the related machine-processing time is shortened by about 5%.
・The employment of colored graphic panel helps the data in an easy-to-view and - operate without losing the existing easy operation.
By linking the Opton’s 3D profiler 「Cloudformer」 in LAN system,
the calculated machining variation data are fed back to the benders to machine the parts in stable condition.
