AIM’s programmable CNC steel wire & tube bending machines have revolutionized the engineering of wire bending. The AccuForm line of equipment not only increases productivity, they are simple to operate. Advanced servo technology enables the machines to operate at very high speeds without sacrificing accuracy and repeatability.
The AFT line consists of components that are interchangeable within the same size. The major components that comprise the Accuform Table Top are as follows:
1) Bender
2) Feeder
a. 3D
3) Control Cabinet with SmartEditor®
The AFT machines are designed for quick/small runs, prototyping and automated production with the available Hopper/Feeder Option.
Programming is quick and easy, all you need is to enter the lengths and angles of your product, view the design, edit if necessary, and begin production!
Standard feeding speeds exceed 15 meters per minute (50 feet/minute) and bending speeds exceed 600 degrees per second. The smallest resolution of the wire/tube feeder is 273 pulses per millimeter (6.93 pulses per thousandth of an inch) and the resolution of the bender is 1450 pulses per degree. The published accuracy of the servo controllers is ±1 pulse, the length accuracy is ±0.1 millimeter (±0.004″) and the angle accuracy is ±0.05 degrees. Accuracy and repeatability of AIM machines are exceptional, so the wire or tube forms produced will only be limited by the quality and consistency of the wire or tube supplied.
