Swiss-based PBT offers profile bending technologies for aluminium, stainless steel and steel profiles. Its machines are used across a large number of sectors, including automotive manufacturing, construction, aerospace, the windows industry, and furniture making.
Addison Group managing director Gary Knight says: “PBT’s machines will dovetail perfectly with our tube bending and end forming technologies from Taiwanese manufacturer CSM.”
With the addition of PBT machines to its range, Addison Tube Division now offers what is possibly the most extensive choice of profile bending, mandrel and non-mandrel tube bending machines in the UK. Addison’s CSM tube benders include basic 3-axis hydraulic models through to sophisticated, 11-axis all-electric machines. The CSM 100TDRE-RBE, a 5-axis, double stack electric hybrid tube bender with electric boost, is able to produce the very tightest radius thin-wall 1xd bends on larger diameter stainless steel tube – a requirement that is increasingly being demanded by first- and second-tier exhaust and catalytic converter manufacturers.
Employing triple-roller bending technology, PBT machines cold-form both aluminium and steel profiles in an energy efficient manner. PBT profile bending technologies range from the Arkus 12 to larger, heavy duty machines such as the PBT35 and HELIX models, which are suited to more challenging applications, including profiles for use in plant and vehicle manufacturing, materials handling, construction and architectural needs. PBT also builds bespoke profile bending machines.
Addison Tube Division is an arm of metal cutting technology specialist Addison Saws. The Addison Group comprises of Addison Saws and leading sawblade supply and re-manufacturing business, Dynashape.
