The HTD-1 CNC tube bending machine is a high-performance industrial automation solution, specifically designed for bending tubular electric heaters and heating elements. This 3-axis numerical control (CNC) equipment uses high-precision servomotors and an advanced PLC control system to transform straight tubes into complex geometries with exceptional repeatability and accuracy. Its intuitive touchscreen-based operation interface allows operators to program, store, and execute complex bending designs simply and efficiently, minimizing setup times and maximizing productivity.
Built on a robust chassis to ensure stability and absorb vibrations, the HTD-1 is the ideal machine for manufacturers looking to scale their production, improve product quality, and reduce reliance on manual processes. It is the ultimate tool for manufacturing custom heaters, from prototypes to mass production.
The versatility of the HTD-1 makes it a key piece for multiple sectors that rely on heating elements with specific shapes. Its ability to handle tube diameters from 5 to 10 mm makes it perfect for a wide range of applications:
• Home Appliances: Manufacturing of heating elements for ovens, electric grills, air fryers, dishwashers, and water heaters.
• HVAC: Development of elements for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
• Food Industry: Creation of heating elements for industrial cooking equipment, fryers, and heating tunnels.
• Automotive Sector: Production of heating elements for defrosting systems, seat heaters, and engine components.
• Medical and Laboratory Equipment: Manufacturing of heating elements for sterilizers, incubators, and analysis equipment that require precise thermal control.
• High Precision and Repeatability: Thanks to its CNC control system and servomotors, the HTD-1 ensures that each piece is identical to the previous one, meeting the strictest tolerances. This is fundamental for the quality and performance of electric heaters.
• Automated and Intuitive Operation: PLC control and touchscreen drastically simplify operation. It allows storing more than 20 programs (product designs), reducing changeover time between different heater models to just a few minutes.
• Robust Construction: Its solid 500 kg structure and industrial design ensure stable, vibration-free operation, which translates into a longer equipment lifespan and superior bending quality.
• Reduced Operating Costs: By automating the bending process, human errors are minimized, material waste is reduced, and production speed is increased, generating a quick return on investment (ROI).

To maximize efficiency and create a fully integrated production line, the HTD-1 CNC bending machine can be complemented with the following modules and customizations:
• Automatic Feeding System: Integrate an automatic tube loader for continuous and unattended operation, reducing operator workload and increasing line throughput.
• Integration with Annealing Machine: Connect the bending machine in-line with an annealing oven to perform heat treatment. This process relieves internal material stresses generated during bending, improving the durability and dimensional stability of the heater.
• 3D Simulation Software: Add an advanced software module that allows visualizing and simulating the bending process before executing it on the machine. This helps detect possible collisions and optimize the bending sequence for greater efficiency.
• Artificial Vision Verification Systems: Incorporate a camera system for real-time quality inspection, verifying that the dimensions and angles of each piece comply with programmed specifications.
The HTD-1 automatic CNC bending machine allows efficient mold changes to adapt to different diameters of tubular heaters (5-25 mm), crucial for production flexibility.
Simplified Mold Change Process:
1 Safety: Stop the machine and secure the work area.
2 Removal: Disassemble the current molds (die, counter-die, clamp) with quick fasteners.
3 Installation: Mount the new molds for the desired diameter, ensuring a firm fit.
4 Adjustment and Calibration: Perform fine adjustments and calibration via the touchscreen, using preset parameters.
5 Program Loading: Select and load the specific CNC program for the new design from the machine's memory (more than 20 storable programs).
6 Verification: Perform tests with sample tubes to confirm bending accuracy.
