Metal Forming Machines and Equipment from Mestek Machinery

Iowa Precision Automatic Adjustable Elbow Machines produce 2-piece 30˚, 3-piece 60˚, or 4-piece 90˚ adjustable elbows from galvanized steel tubes for tube diameters anywhere from 3" to 24". The tubes are manually inserted in the machine by the operator who then presses the cycle start button and the machine automatically performs all the operations necessary to form the elbow. These elbow machines incorporate a programmable logic control to handle the sequence logic required for machine operation and a servo control along with a brushless DC servomotor to position the elbow for the individual gores. The operator enters elbow data into the control system via an operator terminal; simply entering the starting point on the tube, the spacing between each gore and the breed distance for each gore. When the machine is placed in the run mode, the push tube automatically moves to the starting point for the elbow, the operator then places the tube over the tooling in the proper orientation and presses the cycle start button to make the elbow.
