Processing system through information linkage between pipe bending robot and non-contact 3D measuring device.
Productivity in mass production increased by 10% with the information linkage system! Productivity in prototyping increased by 1000%!
**Overview of the Processing System via Information Linkage** The processing system that links the T-WIN robot vendor for pipe bending, a 7-axis robot, with the non-contact 3D measuring device Cloudfor PT-1 allows anyone to easily and accurately output the shape of pipe bending products in a short time and with no errors. **Advantages during Mass Production** During mass production, the first bent pipe is measured and compared with the drawing data, after which the bending correction data is automatically calculated. Since the bending correction data is generated automatically in a short time and only one loss pipe is needed, the vendor's operating rate increases by over 10%. Additionally, the T-WIN robot vendor is a pipe bender uniquely developed by our company, which adds a bending head to a 6-axis robot. It can perform feeding, twisting, and bending with the bending head, as well as bend while feeding and discharge while bending, resulting in productivity that is 2 to 3 times higher compared to conventional pipe benders. **Advantages during Prototyping** In prototyping, due to the elimination of jigs for prototypes, automatic output of inspection sheets, reduction of shape correction time loss, and material loss, productivity increases by 1000% compared to the traditional world of skilled workers relying on experience and techniques. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.*

basic information
**T-WIN Robot Vendor Features** 1. Data input and operability are the same as our conventional machines. 2. Pipes with attached parts can be bent using escape motion. 3. Up to four-stage loaders allow for four types of combination processing. 4. Small radius bending is possible with NC core materials. 5. The adoption of intermediate chucks enables processing of long pipes. 6. A separate head for single bending allows for continuous unmanned operation of workpieces that could not be processed conventionally. 7. As a successful example, bending of 15 bends of AL pipes, which took 60 seconds on conventional vendors, can now be processed in 24 seconds with the robot vendor in a cell system. 8. As a successful example, the bending of cooler pipes with rubber hoses has been systematized in the final process of the entire line. **Non-Contact 3D Measuring Machine Cloud Forma PT-1 Features** 1. Measures the entire outer shape of pipes on a "surface" basis. 2. High precision measurement and calculation of the pipe centerline. 3. Capable of measuring terminal, intermediate parts, branch pipes, etc. 4. Has an electronic inspection tool function to inspect specified positions. 5. Measurement data can be output as inspection sheets. 6. Capable of reverse engineering. 7. Can be connected online with ten vendors. 8. Optional measurement of parts other than pipes is possible. 9. Obtained "JIS B 7441" certification.
