Innovations and features

Applied technologies

The MA 500 is the most innovative and efficient of Maus Italia's products for the automation of serial production assembly work cycles for small heat exchangers.

Zero setting

Collimation by the CNC program of the matrix of the hole centers of the tube sheet to the machine zero. A semi-automatic procedure combined with the FOCS2 self-learning centering laser feeler allows you to calculate and store the actual position and rotation of the tube sheet in relation to the machine.

Free tubes

The rolling of a tube which is simply inserted into the tube sheet but not locked and therefore free to move longitudinally was one of the first issues successfully solved by the Maus Italia MA series. The MA 500 can lock and roll a free tube, at the desired protrusion, totally autonomously and automatically. This technology can be used in the orbital welding preparation.

Automatic compensation for depth of expansion

Automatic zero setting system for Z axis, the position reference is the outer edge of the tube sheet for each individual tube, regardless of the deformation of the tube sheet itself.

Parallel roll

RP technology allows elongations and related residual stresses in the tube after rolling to be reduced to a minimum, in order to obtain a homogeneous tube-tube sheet contact along the whole length of the expansion.

Continuous speed variation

The rotation speed of the expander mandrel varies continuously as a function of the torque moment by moment: this means an optimization of the expansion cycle, a reduction in the wear of the tools and a greater speed of execution.

Mandrel feed digital control

The digital control allows you to check in real time the actual size of the tube expansion. This technology allows you to record the value of each expansion carried out.

Exclusive features

The only machine in this sector which is completely autonomous and automatic that reduce production costs.

MA 500
Reporting of automatic rolling expansions

The continual and growing demand for documentation suitable for certifying the overall quality of a company is met by complete and detailed data storage. The MA 500's automatic rolling operation with torque control allows you to highlight and configure all the phases of the process which are recorded and monitored on a digital report file, guaranteeing complete traceability of each operation without the possibility of errors.

MMA 500

Self-learning electropneumatic centring probe FOCS3

The unique FOCS3 centering system is a self-learning electropneumatic device for automatic tubes centering and correction. This device is controlled by software exclusively designed by Maus Italia.

MA 500

Revolutionary operation on 3 axes

The remarkable uniqueness of the MA 500 is in its capacity to work simultaneously on 3 axes: horizontal, vertical and transverse.

MA 500

Maus CAM Interface software for CAD design of CNC programming

The new Maus CAMNet software processes DXF files, importing all graphic entities so that the operator can set up a machine program assigning a specific work sequence. In particular, CAM ( Computer Aided Manufacturing ) is the computer support to the programming of CNC machines, which through functions developed over time and industry experience, makes it possible to transform drawings into a machine program in a simple way.
