Our Accomplishments for your Benefit
The RST 28 meets all requirements of thestabilizer bar production
J Compared to conventional CNC tube bending machines,
clamping and counterholding forces are considerably
higher and enable the production of short end lengths,
bend-in-bend geometries and small bending radii
J The newly developed kinematics reduces movingmasses, increases dynamics and allows an automatic
loading without the help of an additional loading unit
J Changing to the latest generation of machines reduces
tool costs as the tools of the RST 28 and RBV 60 ST are
fully compatible
J The revision of the drive trains, of the mechanical systemand of the control have increased the output rate by up
to 70% as compared to the previously used bending
technology
JDesign Features
Two machine sizes for customer-specific configuration basedon the range of products produced with the machine
J Designed for processing high-strength materials
J Modular tool structure for customer-specific tools
J Optimum accessibility for drives and cable carriers
J Highest repeat accuracy thanks to state-of-the-art CNC
technology and new design of the bending head‘s positioning axes and the tube gripper module

for combined rotary-draw and free-form bending

Control System
Convenient programming of geometries due to the reliable
WAFIOS WPS 3.2 EasyWay control concept that is installed
in all WAFIOS CNC tube bending machines.
J In the RST 28, the award-winning IQsmartbend control solution (optional) is used for the first time for bending stabilizer
bars. This software automatically optimizes bent parts by
calculating the ideal tool motion profiles and thus improves
the quality and output of parts.

RST – The Machine for Stabilizer Bars
The all-electric tube bending machine RST 28 unite precisionand dynamics in a new dimension.
The innovative and patent-pending kinematics for handlingtubes as well as the travel paths of the bending head reduce
downtimes to a minimum. Based on the geometry of the partproduced, the cycle time is thus reduced and the output isincreased.
Technical innovations ensure maximum precision and quality ofthe manufactured products with minimum cycle time.

Semi-finished tubes can be fed in at the same time as the last
bend is being made at the previous tube or bar. An inline loading
process can be realized by employing a loading unit.
Quality
For more than 125 years, the name of WAFIOS has been synonymous with highest quality, safety standards, and technicalinnovations in the German machine manufacturing industry.
