AddisonMckee Offers Enhanced Levels of Bender Versatility with Innovative New ‘CBE’ Range

AddisonMckee, have developed a new range of modular electric/hydraulic tube benders that will bring even greater levels of flexibility to automotive component manufacturers in particular.

AddisonMckee have a longstanding reputation for the manufacture of industry-leading tube bending technologies.

Based upon the professional platform of the company’s highly proven DataBend™ range, these latest models – designated the DataBend™ CBE range can be more easily modified to meet individual user needs.

Designed to provide the highest levels of customization, CBE tube benders enable customers to specify the precise levels of functionality required for their specific bending processes.

65mm dia. and 89mm dia. variants

DataBend™ CBE models will initially be available in both 65mm (2.5”) dia. and 89mm (3.5”) dia. variants. Developed primarily for larger diameter, thin wall 1D bending of automotive exhaust components, the CBE models combine 6 electric servo axes (Y, B, C, X, Z and YP) and 3 hydraulic operations (supplier of clamp, pressure die and mandrel). The standard single radius 89mm OD capacity model has been designed to provide maximum productivity for both OEM, tier 1 and 2 exhaust component manufacturers who, in today’s cost-conscious market, are increasingly looking for robust, value-priced solutions.

In standard form, the DB89CBE is also supplied with 45kN (4.6 tonnes / 5 US tons) of boost force, plus the option to upgrade up to 100kN (10.2 tonnes / 11 US tons) for more challenging applications. Details surrounding the DataBend™ DB65CBE model will be announced shortly.
