The large color-coded touch screen on the Ercolina Super Bender Plus rotary draw tube and pipe bender eliminates difficult programming and indicates bend angle, springback and actual bend position in real time.

Ercolina® have launched their new Super Bender® Plus rotary draw tube and pipe bender that is ideal for producing consistent quality bends in pipe, tube, squares, solids and other profiles. The newly improved easy-to-read control on the Super Bender Plus displays machine position and all current functions on one screen for greater convenience. This large color-coded touch screen eliminates difficult programming and indicates bend angle, springback and actual bend position in real time. Material springback is displayed separately for greater accuracy on a variety of materials, allowing the operator to bend any angle to 180 degrees with independent material springback compensation for each bend.

The operator can initiate the bend cycle from the control panel or included foot pedal. Super Bender Plus offers generous capacity from ¼ in to 2 in tube or 1-1/2 in Schedule 40 pipe with a maximum centerline radius of 8-7/8 in. This rotary draw tube and pipe bender utilises the Ercolina quick-change tooling system, with multiple radii available, which installs quickly to produce quality bends. The swing away counter bend die vise offers easy loading and unloading of work piece. The machine operates from single-phase 220 volts for greater accessibility and efficiency and has a single bending speed of 2 rpm. Its classic Ercolina Top Bender® design reduces its floor space requirement and easily stores to save shop floor space. The Super Bender Plus accepts an Ercolina A40-P two-axis positioning table for multiple and sequential bends.
