FAQs

What is SURE?

SURE is a laser measuring unit for SweBend PB4 plate rolls and an add-on for the SEVEN X CNC. It travels along the rolls on its own rail. Before rolling it checks the plate's width and position, and after each section it reads the radius wherever the operator chooses. See how SURE measures.

What is SURE, and which machines can have it?

SURE is a movable laser measuring unit and an add-on for the SEVEN X CNC. It is offered as an option on the PB4 plate roll range. Radius accuracy depends on the plate, the material and the target radius, so SweBend confirms it for your application. See how SURE measures.

Can SweBend support SEVEN online?

Yes. When the machine is connected to the Internet, SweBend support uses TeamViewer to identify problems, monitor the machine and perform online training.

What do IRMA, 4S and ADAM do?

IRMA is a radius adjustment tool that corrects material deviations automatically and stores the adjustments for consistent batches. 4S reduces the flat ends in automatic mode on three roll machines and can save as much as 40% of the scrap compared with conventional automatic bending. ADAM calculates, plans and processes any shape you design.

How long does a CNC upgrade take?

An upgrade takes as little as 2-3 days, tuning and training included. Day one covers testing the machine, reading out data from the old system and rebuilding the electrical cabinet with the new control panel. Day two is software tuning and operator training, and on day three the operators are helped to write some of

What is SEVEN X?

SEVEN X is SweBend's CNC control system for bending machines. It has a graphical touchscreen interface and handles material variations, so the operator keeps control of the rolling process. It comes in several versions with different CPU speeds, touchscreen sizes from 6.5 to 19 inches, software features and numbers of CNC-controlled axes.

When does a tailored section bending machine make more sense than a standard one?

When the bend is at the limit of standard machines: tight ID for the section, heavy bar, exotic material, large-diameter pressure vessel rings, square or rectangular sections, or production volumes that demand short flat ends and consistent geometry. A tailored machine sizes the side-roll force, drive torque and tooling to the exact application, which means

Why use a Bluetooth Control Unit instead of CNC on a heavy-duty section bender?

Both the ring bending and the spiraling work are hands-on processes. The operator reads the bar, walks around the machine, and adjusts pitch and roll position on the fly. A CNC system adds programming overhead and a fixed control station, which slows the workflow and limits visibility. A wireless Control Unit lets the operator stay

What is a spiraling machine and how is it different from a standard section bender?

A spiraling machine is a section bending machine configured with special rolls and a hydraulic pitch unit so that the workpiece advances along its own axis as it bends, producing a helix rather than a flat ring. Standard section benders only roll in plane. Spiraling needs both the lift/pitch motion and the bending force to
