Introduction to Freeformbending Machines
Freeformbending is a precise and fast method for bending tubes or profiles in three dimensions. The process involves pushing the workpiece through fixed and movable tooling parts, with the movable part controlled by CNC. This allows for the manipulation of bending radius, angle, and direction.

Machine Models
  • Model NSB: 6-axis machines capable of rotating the bending head for twisting profiles, suitable for both symmetric and asymmetric profiles.
  • Model NFB: 5-axis machines.
  • Model NPB: 3-axis machines, designed for compact designs like small U-bends and frame parts.

Advantages of Freeformbending
  • One set of tooling can bend different radii for a given tube diameter or profile.
  • Allows for consecutive bends without straight sections.
  • No need for special bending or clamp dies for operations without straight sections.
  • Suitable for sensitive materials like aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring perfect surface quality.
  • Complicated bend geometries can be modified via software without hardware changes.
  • Continuous material pushing minimizes thinning of the outer bend, maintaining material integrity.
  • Hydroforming operations can be completed in one step without heat treatment.
  • CAD data can be directly transformed into bending programs using a laser measuring system.
  • Freeformbending is faster than conventional methods, reducing idle movement and production costs.
  • Machines can be integrated with robot technology for automated loading and unloading.

Freeformbending Machines-1

J. Neu Freeformbending Machines Modell NSB 6-axis-freeformbending-machines In 6-axis technology the complete bending head can rotate for twisting profiles. This is necessary to bend symmetric as well as asymmetric profiles. By the optional measuring system bending programs can be created directly from CAD-data. After scanning the bending samples, the software calculates a program that makes the bended tube matching the part on CAD-data. By this bending principle the work piece (a tube or a profile) is pushed through a fixed and movable tooling part. The movable part is controlled by CNC. Depending on the movement of that tooling element, the tube or profile is bend threedimensional. Bending radius, bending angle and bend direction is influenced in that movement. Freeformbending - a precise and fast bending method! Bending head from a 3-axis-freeformbending machine. Due to the compact design small U-bends and frame parts can be realised.

machine types: Further models on demand. We reserve the right for changes in the interest of technical progress, work safety or more economical production. The main advantages of freeformbending over conventional bending (draw bending or stretch bending) are as follows: • one set of tooling per round tube diameter or profile can bend different radii • different radii can follow each other without straight. • for bending operations with no straight between the bends, no special bending die and clamp die is necessary. • sensitive material like aluminium and stainless steel can be bend with perfect...
