IZIBEND 3 — hybrid tube and profile bending machine (30 mm)

Hybrid bending centre with 3 or 5 electric axes for compact tubes and profiles.

The IZIBEND 3 is a hybrid bending centre available with 3 or 5 electric axes, designed for round tubes up to 30 x 2 mm in steel, 25 x 1.5 mm in stainless steel and 35 x 2 mm in light alloy held in the clamp. It combines Sportelli.Tech 3D software with real-cycle simulation, a FANUC package and a compact head for round tubes, square tubes and special profiles. Lengths, maximum radius and bending direction are defined project by project; the three starred dimensions can be modified on request.

Positioning

FAQ — IZIBEND 3

Is the IZIBEND 3 a fully electric bender?

No. The IZIBEND 3 is a hybrid machine offered with 3 or 5 CNC-controlled brushless electric axes.

What are the key IZIBEND 3 capacities?

The stated capacities are 30 x 2 mm for steel round tube, 25 x 1.5 mm for stainless steel round tube and 35 x 2 mm for light alloy in the clamp.

Which dimensions can be modified on request?

The maximum bending radius of 100 mm, useful clamp length of 3000 mm and useful rear mandrel length of 4200 mm are the three starred values marked as modifiable on request.

Can existing tooling be reused?

The interchangeable bending shaft may allow some existing tooling to be adapted, but only after a technical review of the tooling and part.

Which operations can be integrated?

Depending on configuration, cutting, punching and/or marking units can be integrated into the bender.

What is the IZIBEND 3 used for?

The IZIBEND 3 suits workshops that need a compact hybrid bender for small-diameter tubes, special profiles and varied production runs. It can manage stretch bending, compression bending and variable-radius bending depending on machine configuration, tooling and the part to produce.

Which technical limits must be confirmed?

The stated capacities are technical-sheet references and do not replace part validation. Material, wall thickness, radius, useful length, existing tooling and integrated operations must be reviewed before quotation, especially when the interchangeable shaft is considered for an existing tooling set.

How can an IZIBEND 3 be configured?

Configuration is defined with 3 or 5 electric axes, right or left bending, multitouch screen depending on configuration, and options such as cutting, punching, marking, wiper support, shaped clamp, opening die or mandrel lubrication. Contact Sportelli.Tech to validate the configuration for your tubes, radii and production rates.
