Flexible Software
We supply software to cover our full
range of machines. The software is always compatible with the latest Windows
package and will run on most desktop PC’s. The package includes machine settings
for any given pipe bend configuration. The specification of the software
supplied with every Gregson Machine is:
ü
Provides the machine operator with: All the
machine settings required to bend carbon steel pipe sizes and wall thickness to
achievable bend radius, this includes:
1.
Generator power output kW
2.
Feed Rate
3.
Clamp pressures
4.
Bend radius
5.
Bend angle
6.
Temperature settings
7.
Developed length of bend.
8.
Pipe length requirements
9.
Compression length of the pipe during bending.
10.
Bend Time
11.
Floor to floor time
ü
3D bending simulation to find the most
efficient and cost-effective way to bend your component prior to going into
production.
ü
3D anti collision test prior to bending. This
includes the work area and all parts of the machine.
ü
Predicted ovality and wall thinning results.
ü
A graphic printout of the finished bend and end
preparation details.
ü
It provides the NDT department with a custom
made chart for each bend.
ü
It flags a warning to the machine operator if
he goes outside the limitation of pipe or machine strength. (This is dictated by
bend radius) and advises the operator of the minimum bend radius achievable.
ü
All dimensions can be in metric or imperial.
ü
Can be personalised. Add your company logo
prior to delivery.
ü
Costing information based on the customers
information.
ü
Other materials can be added, specific
information required based on empirical results gathered on a wide range of pipe
sizes.
ü
After sales back up and for 1 year.
ü
Updates over next 5 years when they become
available.
