Key Features
Feeding speed reaches 600 mm/s and bending speed 100°/s, with cutting tolerance of 0.5 mm per meter and bending tolerance of ±0.5 mm. Each axis — feeding, cutting, expanding, and bending — is independently servo-driven, so dimensional accuracy is maintained even at maximum throughput of roughly 3 seconds per bend.
The 360° rotary blade cuts without generating chips, eliminating contamination inside refrigeration-grade tubes. Immediately after cutting, dual expanding pins perform tube end expansion, chamfering, and high-pressure nitrogen purge in sequence — delivering assembly-ready tube ends without a separate handling step.
The bending station supports programmable angles up to 200° across 100 steps, accommodating complex serpentine and coil geometries. A Ø4,500 mm rotary table synchronizes with dual bending rollers via an independent servo, providing assisted feeding that prevents deformation or dislocation on long condenser assemblies.
With 450-program memory and 250 workable product models, operators switch between condenser types by selecting a stored recipe on the HMI — no mechanical adjustment required. Centerline bending radii of CLR 22.5 mm and CLR 27.5 mm (with a configurable range of 15–35 mm) cover the majority of wire-on-tube condenser specifications.
The decoiler includes automatic material-shortage detection that halts the line before a tube runs out, preventing scrap and machine damage. Structural components ride on NSK bearings, HIWIN linear guides, and TBI ball screws rated for a minimum 10-year service life. The 31 × 2.5 × 1.5 m footprint accommodates tubes up to 28 m in the collecting frame, supporting large-format condenser production within a single linear layout.

III.Equipment Composition
1.Decoiler

This section is equipped with material shortage and absence detection features.If the material channel switches from “material present” to “no material” during either automatic or manual operation, the system will issue an alarm and automatically stop to ensure safety and prevent process interruption.
2.Straightening

The tube passes through horizontally and vertically arranged straightening rollers to correct deformation.
The straightening deformation amount can be individually adjusted according to the hardness or softness of the galvanized tube.Each straightening roller has a smooth surface and is equipped with two bearings to ensure high straightening accuracy and operational stability.
3.Chipless Cutting

Three-part clamping die to minimize tube distortion, get smooth cutting end surface. High accuracy concentricity ensures to get good welding quality in following process. Chipless cutting with 360° rotary cutting blade and stretching with two points clamping. Straightening wheel work on the steel tube from both vertical and horizontal directions. Tube Diameter from 4-5mm is suitable for floor mounted decoiler.
4.Marking

The tube ends are marked with colors.
5.Tube End Forming

After rotary cutting, the next process includes tube end expanding.A servo transfer unit drives dual (or multiple) expanding pins to perform the expansion sequentially.
After expansion, high-pressure nitrogen (2 MPa, 5 s, time adjustable via touch screen) is blown into the opposite tube end. Each single-station module includes front-end expanding, front-end chamfering, and rear-end nitrogen blowing functions.
6.Collecting And Feeding Unit:

The cut tubes will be placed in the silo and arranged neatly. The clamping die will hold the tube and feed it into the bender.
Clamping dies can be matched to the pipe diameter. Positioning and feeding are precise.
The length of the receiving frame will be designed to 28m according to the drawings.
7.Taping

To ensure alignment and consistency during multi-tube bending, an automatic taping machine is installed between the bending module and the rotary buffer module.
The machine performs in-line taping of parallel tubes, capable of wrapping 10–15 tubes simultaneously in a single taping cycle.
8.Bending Unit:

The bending station is driven by servo motors to ensure precise feeding accuracy.
Bending power is also servo-controlled, allowing freely adjustable bending angles within the operating range.
The system ensures seamless coordination with the rotary table, maintaining minimal deformation when processing large workpieces.
The bending mechanism operates with smooth startup, stable intermediate motion, and impact-free positioning at the end of bending.
9.Auxiliary Pushing and Discharging System

The auxiliary pushing system consists of left and right pushing units, driven by a single servo motor and connected through an electromagnetic clutch.
This design enables one drive to control two units, while keeping their movements independent of each other.
The rotary table is powered by an independent servo motor and synchronously linked with the dual bending
rollers, providing assisted feeding during the bending process to prevent tube deformation or dislocation.
After automatic bending is completed, a servo-driven pusher (sharing the same drive as the auxiliary pusher) automatically ejects the finished tubes from the bending platform.
