CTM 916

The Automatic Elbow Machine is designed to produce high quality straight elbows, which can be hand turned to any angle between 0° and 90°. The cutting plane of this machine is 15° from the horizontal plane, thus requiring 3 cuts for a 90° elbow. Only one operator is required. This machine is equipped with a full set of tooling to produce 9", 10", 12", 14", 16" Ø elbows; or tooling can be purchased separately if only a few select sizes are needed. Size changes take only 20-25 minutes to complete.

Productivity

Machine cycle time = 25 seconds for all sizes

Load time = 2 seconds (dependent upon speed of operator)

Complete Elbows:
2.2 per minute
133 per hour
1066 per 8 hour shift
260,000+ per year (1 shift/day; 5 days/week; 50 weeks/year)

Assuming labor cost of one operator = $25,000/year, one elbow = 9.4¢ labor to produce
