Bending Elite 96
Bending Machine – Elite 96.
Our Elite Hot Wire Strip Heater is one of the most versatile and advanced strip heaters available with the machine capable of heating materials from 1mm to 25mm in thickness. The ability to specify the number of heating beams required, from one to six, ensures it is configured to meet exact requirements.
Heater Beams
Each beam accommodates up to four wires below and four wires above the material to be heated. Wires are individually tensioned to ensure that they remain at a consistent distance from the material even on longer machines. They are adjustable for spacing and distance from the material on the calibrated wire guides, and wires can be easily isolated if not required. The Elite heater beams have been carefully designed with no protrusions, so that they can be brought right together with intermediate work supports removed. This allows a wide heating trough to be created, ideal for heating very thick materials.
Power Packs
The base frame of the machine houses the low-voltage power packs that operate the heating wires. Each Power Pack will operate up to 16 heating wires. With a maximum of three power packs being able to be fitted to each machine, this means that up to 48 heating wires can be operated.
Rear Control
The machine is normally operated from the front only. However, the addition of the optional Rear Table allows the heater beams to be split, with some operated from the front and some from the rear. This means that the machine can be used for two completely different jobs simultaneously, while being able to be brought back to single-user operation very quickly.
Slide Rails
All of the Heater Beams sit on slide rails. There are three lengths of slide rail available, 1220mm, 1850mm and 2400mm.
Beam Positioning System
The Heater Beams are secured to the slide rails using pneumatic clamps. Panel mounted toggle switches select the beams that you wish to move, and then a handle on the side of the table is turned to perform the movement. Calibration strips of either side of the machine aid the accurate positioning of the beams. The left- and right-hand clamps of each heater beam are independently controlled, allowing the beam to be adjusted accurately as required.
