Numalliance presents FTX machine for CNC 3D wire and tube bending

The FTX series developed by Numalliance represents a high-end solution for wire and tube bending, designed to combine precision, flexibility, and productivity in the manufacture of complex 3D geometries. Engineered for modern industrial environments where repeatability and short setup times are critical, the machine processes wire and tube directly from coil, handling diameters from 3 to 16 mm, and supporting a wide variety of materials.

High-end 3D bending capability

The FTX is a sequential CNC bending machine designed for advanced 3D forming directly from coil. One of its key features is the ability to perform double bends, allowing opposing curvatures to be produced in a single cycle without repositioning the material. This capability significantly reduces cycle times and improves dimensional consistency. The bending head moves freely around the workpiece and can be equipped with a multi-radius bending head, expanding design possibilities while minimizing tooling changes. Fast tool changeover further improves machine uptime and production efficiency, especially in short and medium batch manufacturing.

This short video shows the Numalliance FTX performing complex 3D wire bending operations, highlighting dynamic axis control, smooth material handling, and precise multi-radius bending in a continuous production cycle.

The footage demonstrates how the FTX executes complex geometries with high repeatability, supporting stable quality even on demanding parts.

CNC control and operator interface

The FTX series is equipped with a modern CNC control system based on an industrial PC and proprietary software, combined with a 19″ multilingual touch screen. Programming is intuitive and supported by an integrated simulation environment, allowing operators to verify bending sequences and tooling setup before production starts. Advanced features include tool editing, slow-motion program execution for quality checks, and connectivity options for remote assistance and integration into digital production environments. The system also supports feedback from 3D measuring devices, enabling automatic corrections to further enhance accuracy.

Productivity, safety, and machine configurations

With up to 7 CNC-controlled axes, the FTX delivers precise and synchronized movements for complex bending operations. The machine is designed with integrated safety guards that ensure operator protection while maintaining easy access during setup and maintenance. The FTX series is available in multiple configurations, from compact models to higher-capacity versions, allowing manufacturers to select the most suitable solution based on wire diameter range, production volume, and part complexity.

Applications across industries

Thanks to its flexibility and precision, the FTX is well suited for producing components such as frames, clips, hooks, structural wire parts, and formed tube assemblies. Typical application sectors include automotive, HVAC systems, furniture manufacturing, aerospace components, and industrial equipment.

Companies looking to upgrade their wire and tube bending capabilities can see the Numalliance FTX in action and evaluate its advantages in terms of productivity, flexibility, and precision.
