Abstract: The invention relates to a device for bending profile members in which the bending head includes at least one stage for bending the profile members and cutting the profile members after bending, provided with a tool for cutting the profile members including a pre-cutting member suitable for starting the cutting of the profile members, and a cutting member suitable for finishing the cut started by the pre-cutting member.

Abstract: A muffler includes an elongated muffler shell body with a first muffler end cap mounted on the first end of the muffler shell body in a manner defining a first muffler joint and a second muffler end cap mounted on the second end of the muffler shell body in a manner defining a second muffler joint. A louver and baffle assembly is mounted within an interior of the muffler shell body. The first end of the muffler shell body includes a first shell bead/ridge and the second end of the muffler shell body includes a second shell bead/ridge, and each of the circumferential edges of the first muffler end cap and the second muffler end cap are formed to define cap bead/ridges shaped and dimensioned for engagement with the first shell bead/ridge of the first end of the muffler shell body and the second shell bead/ridge of the second end of the muffler shell body.

Abstract: An assembly for removably securing a tool to an industrial machine. The assembly includes an assembly base portion that may be removably secured to the industrial machine. A tool main body may be integrated with the assembly base portion. A tool attachment unit is provided to transition the assembly between a secured configuration and an unsecured configuration. The tool main body is securely fixed to the assembly base portion in the secure configuration. The tool main body is separable from the assembly base portion in the unsecured configuration. The assembly base portion and the tool attachment unit are configured to accommodate a variety of different tool main bodies according to a desired application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for bending profile sections, comprising at least one bending form (36) centered on a bending axis, provided with a peripheral groove that is interrupted by a cutout, a stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) each comprising a cavity for clamping the profile section and having a shape designed to fit into the cutout of each bending form (36) with the cavity extending in the continuity of the peripheral groove of said bending form, means (51-53) for the so-called vertical movement of the stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) which means are designed to move said stack along an axis parallel to the bending axis, a stack of clamping jaws (55-58), comprising cavities that complement the cavities of the clamping jaw counterparts (42-45), and means (70, 72-74, 76, 80, 81) for the relative movement of the assembly made up of the bending form(s) (36), the stack of clamping jaw counterparts (42-45) and the stack of clamping jaws (55-58).

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for seaming an end cap to an end of a target object using a fixed, rigid roller carriage that is configured to move along a direction that is orthogonal to a rotation axis of the end cap and the target object. The end cap seaming apparatus and system preferably comprise servo motors that move the roller carriage and rotate the end cap and the target object. The end cap seaming apparatus and system may be configured to learn the shape of the end cap and the target object by learning a shape of an end cap holding member on which the end cap is held. An automated method of seaming the end cap to the target object is executed based on the learned shape of the end cap holding member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a jig (M) for the thermal forming and/or inspection of a tube (T) of neutral axis (x) and comprising a bent sections (c1-c3) connected by straight sections (d2-d3).
