Wauseon Machine to Exhibit Process Refining Tube Fabricating Equipment at FABTECH


Wauseon, Ohio - Wauseon Machine and Manufacturing, Inc. will feature its latest model of electric end forming equipment, the 13EL, along with a FANUC Robotics' tended dedicated tube bender at FABTECH 2011 in Chicago, IL. Attendees visiting Wauseon Machine's booth, number 101 in the tube & pipe area, will be first-hand witnesses of the innovative methods performed by these small-diameter tube fabricating machines during the November 14th through 17th trade show.

Wauseon Machine's end forming equipment achieves its fast, clean, quiet, and repeatable procedure using a cold working process that transfers ram force to a forming punch to attain the desired tube end form. The featured model 13EL is equipped with a 12.5 ton servo electromechanical ram cylinder that outputs ram force using only electric power, as opposed to hydraulic. As an outcome, there is no hydraulic oil waste and less noise. Also, the servo electromechanical ram cylinder allows for flexibility in tool positioning, which results in improved cycle times and better dimensional capability.

Wauseon Machine custom builds dedicated tube benders to serve the need of bending a single high volume part, up to ¾" in diameter. The dedicated tube bender to be displayed at FABTECH 2011 is equipped with the optional integration of a FANUC Robotics' R1000 robot tended load/unload feature, and bends a 5/8" diameter tube 3 times.

FABTECH 2011 provides an opportunity for companies to display new products, technologies, and processes in the welding, thermal spray, tube & pipe, forming & fabricating, metal forming, finishing, and laser industries. The trade show will take place from November 14-17 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. For attendee registration, visit http://www.fabtechexpo.com/registration.cfm.
