Drive Synchronization System for a Laser-Mechanical Tube Bending Device
Grzegorz WITKOWSKI
Abstract. The drive control system of bending equipment for thin-walled pipes has been presented. The design of the mechanical system was presented, and the control system was briefly characterized. The advantages and disadvantages of the presented solution are discussed. Possible modifications of the system have been proposed in order to improve its functionality.
