VLB profile rollers offer endless possibilities for bending profiles and pipes, regardless of the dimensions. Materials are constantly evolving in terms of mechanical properties and profile shapes, and designers and architects are pushing the boundaries with innovative shapes and geometries. VLB's R&D department applies its knowledge to develop solutions that exceed the expectations of complex bending work. The VLB range of bending machines is suitable for bending large pipe diameters and profiles up to IPE1000.
Built to last
VLB section benders machines are constructed according to the highest mechanical requirements and with high-quality components. In that way, we can guarantee excellence in everything we produce. This applies to the construction of the frame and the supports of the shafts, which consist of high-definition laser and plasma-cut construction parts that are milled, turned, and machined in the most stable way in one setup in our latest machining center with DAS+ technology.
The result leaves no doubt: a robust, extremely durable, geometrically rigorous, and stable structure!
The shafts are made of high-quality steel (42CrMo4), milled on the latest generation of CNC lathes, heat treated for high hardness (54-56 hours), and then polished. The shafts are provided with self-lubricated and self-aligning bearings, which guarantee excellent performance and virtually no deflection.
Power in every situation
A powerful hydraulic group is what generates all movements of the VLB section benders man. The rotation of the rollers is independent and is executed by three hydraulic motors coupled to planetary gear units.
