HTES-9000 – HYBRID DIGITAL CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC EXPANSION SYSTEM

HTES-9000 is the most precise system from the pneumatically driven KRAIS tube rolling machines. The machine has an integrated strain gauge sensor controlled by an electric torque control transducer.

Thanks to modern solutions, HTES-9000 is measuring torque directly from the driven spindle with superb precision. For the highest accuracy and repeatability, every machine is carefully calibrated with certified Electronic Torque Tester.

TES-9000 system is resistant to air pressure and volume fluctuations – expansion is precise regardless of unstable air supply as long as the motor is still able to generate enough power. The system monitors torque throughout every expansion cycle, constantly provides the most precise wall reductions for every expanded tube.

HTES-9000 is the first choice expansion tool for all who need to roll tubes with quality above industry-accepted standards offered by regular pneumatic tube expanding machines.

Easy way to build workstation

FLEXHOLDER

To work with HTES-9000 controllers we recommend arm FlexHolder. This connection allows you to create a mobile workstation with an above average performance!

BALANCER

Another optional addition to work with HTES-9000 controllers is a whole range of balancers. Easy way to build your workstation.

HTES-9000 Software

Central unit with user friendly interface and 7” touch screen allows to configure different motor types with their predefined min/ max values and to set up required expanding parameters.

Torque Wizard helps to calculate torque settings based on: %wl reduct, Feed Angle, Mandrel taper, Tube Diameter, Tube Yield (Ultimate tensile strength), Wall Thickness (Gauge, Expansion Length)

3 operating modes available: MANUAL: Single expansion, SEMIAUTO: Single expansion with autorevers, AUTO: Expansion with autorevers in endless loop until operator stops

Configurable expanding timers: reverse rolling time, time between expanding cycles (to move expander from one to another tube), time to expand with maximum rpm in the initial expanding phase

Other features: Expandings counter, Color status lamps, Metric and imperial units available, Translated to many languages.

Motors for HTES-9000

HTES-9000 rolling system uses drives based on our well-known K50 and K60 tube rolling motors. We replace the mechanical clutch, instead of which we control torque electronically. The handling of new motors is almost identical to using regular K50/K60.

H50/H60 are tube rolling motors with a fully automatic reverse system. The machines automatically:

  • startup rotating in the forward direction;
  • reverse the revolution to the left once determine the setup torque;
  • thanks to the adjustable delay timer, the machine automatically runs in a forwarding direction after a defined period from the end of a previous expansion.

Automatic tube expander lubrication “L” is available optionally.

New motors options are coming soon .
