When a new SEYI press arrives on your shop floor, it’s ready to get to work. Just tool it up, turn it on, and you’ve got yourself a dependable, profififit- producing partner that doesn’t mind working long hours without a break.
SEYI produces a wide range of press models designed to meet every need. Each machine is crafted using our proprietary high-effifficiency manufacturing processes...that’s our secret to consistently creating presses that represent the industry’s best value.
Our users tell us that SEYI presses deliver the productive features, flflexibility, and long-term dependability they want...at a surprisingly modest price. This equates to lower manufactur- ing costs, which drives more profififit right to the bottom line...usually from a new press’ very fifirst day on the job.
So if you could use greater profififitability, try this simple recipe: Buy a new SEYI press, add tooling, and start collecting cash.

were considerably increased, to 600 kN. Sliding guides were installed for the take-up of the high radial forces using the small- est construction space. The slide frame with the four radial flow-forming sleds also was optimized for stiffness and strength.
To increase production capacity, the machine is provided with an automatic loading and unloading portal with a span of almost 30 m. To ensure an ergonomic machine, particularly important for such a large machine, Leifeld designed the roller feed-in to be open to eye-level inspection by the operator. The machine uses a small manual actuator, as well as a radio remote control for the portal loader for rapid setup at a safe distance.

Tube-Bending Machines Make Debut
UK-based Unison Ltd., represented in the United States by Horn Machine Tools, Madera, CA, introduces a new family of all- electric tube-bending machines. Incor- porating a real-time Ethernet control-sys- tem architecture and a major new release of programming and control software, the machines take the advanced shape-form- ing capability and flexibility of servomotor- controlled bending to a new level.
Company officials say that the new Breeze machines bend more quickly than previous generations of electric benders; exploit advanced multi-axis synchroniza- tion capabilities to support sophisticated rollforming; improve the tool adjustments that can be employed during the bending cycle to generate ultra-precise part shapes; and offer a visual collision-checking pro- gramming feature as standard. The machines also feature an open architecture that is eas- ily adapted to integrate application-specific capability or to build workcells.
At the heart of the Breeze machines is a real-time machine and motion system based on the Ethernet-compatible Pow- erlink protocol. The speed of the network makes it possible to rapidly coordinate
