LVD OFFERS SPECIALIZED BENDING EQUIPMENT FOR PIPE FORMING APPLICATIONS

Gullegem, Belgium – LVD, in conjunction with its joint venture company, LVD-HD, will showcase specialized profiling and bending machinery at Tube 2010, Stand 06 /D11, Hall 6.

PPF SERIES FOR LARGE PIPE MANUFACTURING
LVD-HD’s PPF Series of multi-cylinder bending machines are designed for forming large pipes up to 1524mm diameter and are available in capacities up to 10,000 tons, 12.5 metre configurations. They are ideally suited to address the pipe manufacturing needs of the Oil and Gas industries.

These heavy-duty, specialized forming presses feature front and back feeding and support systems, roller conveyor, side discharge system, and LVD’s exclusive CADMAN® Touch control. This multiple cylinder machine is driven by an electro-hydraulic servo synchronous system, providing precise control of the ram and adjustment of the Y-axis to compensate for material variations. Positioning accuracy is 0.05mm with repetitive accuracy of 0.03mm.

PPF bending machines may be equipped with automatic feeding, charging and discharging systems for increased efficiency.
