Updated software ensures production safety in tube processing
The high-tech engineering company transfluid from Schmallenberg has further developed its t project software. The two versions cover different areas of tube processing. The connection to CAD, BDE (Manufacturing Execution System) or ERP systems, to bending machines or bending robots makes the software flexible for each task. This way it is possible to test different […]

transfluid Maschinenbau, based in Schmallenberg, Germany, has opened a new subsidiary in Greenville, S.C. The company manufactures tube bending and forming machines for hydraulics and other systems. The machines are sold worldwide, in a sector where being close to the customer and delivering quick service are increasingly valued. The U.S. is very important for transfluid, […]
How are clamping systems used in fluid power?
From a fluid power design perspective, the circuit and subsequent major components take the majority of the focus. Actuators, valves, pumps and conditioning components rightfully take center stage, leaving accessory components out of the design stage and left for the technicians to worry about during fabrication. However, factoring all parts – no matter how insignificant […]
Mobile hydraulic tube bending for diameters from 6 to 42 mm
For the past 30 years, engineering company transfluid from Schmallenberg has been producing its mobile universal tube bending machine, which is designed particularly for hydraulics tubing, and can process tubes with diameters from 6 to 42 mm. “What is special about our mobile bender is that it offers all the functions you need for hydraulics […]
How can you use weldless, threadless plumbing in fluid power systems?
When you think hydraulic plumbing, what comes to mind is usually either hoses or tubes. Hoses are easy to make and provide a forgivable installation option. Tubing takes more forethought but is relatively straightforward if you have the proper bending and flaring equipment. What’s less popular but no less effective, especially for large diameter conduits, […]
