Learn About: Ercolina Rotary Draw Benders

1. Touch Programing:

With the exclusion of three models, all rotary draw benders allow at least 30 bend programs, with each of these programs allowing up to 30 bends per program.

This enables user to perform all required bends for a specific piece without making any adjustments to settings between bends. This functionality significantly aids in optimizing workflows and reduces errors/material waste.

1. Variable Springback Compensation:

After the bend cycle, all materials are prone to a springback affect. Essentially, material relaxes after the counterbend die pressure is released. Most materials are slightly overbent during the bend cycle to compensate for this effect. Springback amounts vary depending on the strength and tensile of the material being bent and the degree of bend

What sets a Ercolina Rotary Draw Bender apart from the competition is that spring back can be adjusted and set so that it automatically compensates depending on bend angle. This eliminates the need to adjust spring back between bends during sequences - a big productivity booster and waste reducer.

2. Swing Away Counterbend Die:

Swing away counter bending die are standard with all rotary draw benders from Ercolina. The swing away vise allows easy material on and off, maintaining position without secondary locking. This not only increases setup speed and speed between bends, but also takes out the variable of differing vise clamping pressures on a secondary vise - helping to produce a more consistent and repeatable bend.

3. Quick Change Tooling System:

The quick-change tooling system comes standard with all Ercolina rotary draw benders. Centerline formers simply slide on and off the hex, a useful feature for users with dynamic workflows and differing degrees of bend.

4. Compare Models:

All models have a minimum 2D centerline radius with he exception of the TB180.
