NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTSBOGE LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATIONSCREW COMPRESSORBOGE, one of the leading manufacturers ofcompressed air systems, launches its nextgeneration C-2 screw compressor. The C-2boasts a wide output range from 11 to 22 kW,which means it offers the ideal solution forevery conceivable requirement. The machinecomes in both belt and direct drive options withoptional frequency controllers, air receivers anddryers.This highly affordable version ismaintenance-friendly thanks to easily accessiblecomponents and while the C-2 compressors arefitted as standard with a high-performance IE3motor, efficiency can be increased to an evenhigher standard as required with an optionalIE4 motor. With the addition of a newlydesigned sound insulation hood that is built inas standard, all compressors are even quieterthan before.Other options are available on all models inthe range include integrated heat duothermheat recovery and frequency-controlled drivemotors and motor fans: meaning the coolingRobots have already been used for some time asefficient and flexible bending machines toprocess tubes. These systems are constantlydeveloped further and improved. For theexperienced engineers at transfluid this meansfirst of all to make the software user-friendly, soit is possible to work in an efficient andprofessional way. These bending systems fromthe high-tech engineering company can takeisometrics data and generate bending datawithout separate programming of the robotsystem.transfluid has now designed the next step inthe development of its range of tube bendingrobots and improved it again. The onlineconnection to CAD systems has always beenpossible, which reduces the set-up time a lot.Another important aspect is to simplify thesoftware connection because of the robotprogramming capabilities of each customer.The latest generation of machines canprocess isometrics data online. There are alsopositions stored in the control system, for wherethe piece is picked up and dropped off. Inaddition to this, it is also possible to retrieve theposition for the necessary supports for longcapacity can be adapted optimally to theenvironmental conditions thus furtherimproving efficiency. Integrated dryers as anoption are also available across the entire rangeand a control system ideally adapted tocustomer requirements is also available. Usershave the choice between the standard basecontrol or the high-end focus control 2.0version.Regardless of which extras are required, itworks the same for all users: with the machinesfrom the new C-2 series, you obtain a completecompressed air station as a plug-and-playsolution in the smallest space, whether withoutor – for the first time ever in this series with aperformance up to 22 kW – also with a receiver.BOGE has ergonomically optimised bothinstallation versions and designed them to beparticularly user-friendly: the control panel hasbeen built directly into the front plate or angled,depending on the version. Control cabinet, beltsand all other maintenance parts are accessiblethanks to panel’s that are easy to remove.“This next generation C-2 screw compressoris really impressive, and this will be incrediblyexciting for our customers who have used andrated the C-1 best in class over the years,”explains Russell Frost, UK & Ireland SalesManager at BOGE Compressors.He adds: “This is the Champions League;the super-silencer is integrated, it’s moreefficient, more compact and will need lessmaintenance. All in all, it’s a fantastic player forair compressors in the 11-22 kW range.”www.boge.co.ukROBOTS AS EFFICIENT TUBEBENDING MACHINEStubes. Because of this, a complete new complexbending geometry can be programmed andbent quickly, in max. 30 minutes. This includingthe set-up of the bending tools.transfluid is a valued partner all over theworld for the production of tube bending andtube processing machines. transfluid have beendeveloping their customer-focusedtechnologies for tube processing since 1988 andoffers tailor-made solutions for the constructionof plants and machines, for the automotive,energy and shipbuilding sectors and themanufacturing of medical equipment.www.transfluid.deCUT 2000 X WIREEDM FEATURESNEW SPARKTRACKTECHNOLOGYGF Machining Solutions has upgraded theAgieCharmilles CUT 2000 X wire EDM withnew Spark Track technology and an IntegratedVision Unit (IVU), offering accuracy andproductivity for even the most demandingapplications.The CUT 2000 X’s Vision 5 softwareinterface allows manufacturers to optimiseproduction, achieve flexible job managementand improve quality and productivity.GF Machining Solutions’ Vision 5 interfacesimplifies last-minute machining sequencemodifications and allows for special actions tobe introduced directly inside the job to ramp upquality and productivity.Open guides on GF Machining Solutions’automatic wire changer (AWC) allowmanufacturers to use a combination of differentwire diameters between roughing andfinishing, thereby reducing machining time forsmall and complex geometries – resulting in upto 32% greater productivity.Additionally, two 25 kg wire spools areavailable that eliminate the need to modify thewire circuit when switching wires, whichincreases flexibility.GF Machining Solutions’ new Spark Tracktechnology represents a breakthrough in wireEDM.With its state-of-the-art Intelligent SparkProtection System (ISPS) which providesvaluable information about spark distributionon the wire, Spark Track technology allowsusers to completely avoid wire breakageregardless of the machining conditions as wellas reduce part defects and simplify machineoperation.Wire oscillation, varied heights and taperedsurfaces are among the common problemsresolved by Spark Track technology. To achievesuperior results, discharge distribution alongthe wire must be as uniform as possible. SparkTrack and ISPS offer users a fully-automaticsolution that improves efficiency and reduceswire breakage.info.gfms.uk@georgfischer.comTel: 02476 538666www.gfms.com/uk24 Manufacturing Machinery World, April 2020
