RT23 Rotary Transfer Tube Forming System
This tube fabrication system offers the ultimate flexibility when processing your tubular parts for production. Start by saving money and buying your material on a bulk spool where we can help you decide which of our many Rotary Position Uncoilers is right for your operations. Next, one operator can feed, straighten, cut, end form, bend, and unload a complete part. The flexibility is in the software which allows the operator to bypass any of the operations as needed to meet your production needs.
Prevent Collisions & Cut Setup Time with the RT23 Tube Forming System
Bending smarter with the Winton Machine’s advanced 3D Simulation and Collision Detection software saves money and time. It lets you preview the bending process before a single tube hits the machine. This powerful tool displays the cycle time and visually walks you through each movement, helping you catch potential issues early.
Why it’s great:
• Prevents machine collisions and setup errors
• Saves time by eliminating trial-and-error adjustments
• Speeds up programming and operator training
• Reduces scrap – saving on material costs

Collision Detection & Bend Simulation Software
Winton Machine’s new Collision Detection Software utilizes advanced 3D modeling and real-time motion simulation to prevent costly crashes during CNC tube bending, allowing users to visualize the bending process before it occurs on the machine. The software displays the real-time bending process (cycle time) and alerts the user if the bent profile interferes with the machine.
This process improves repeatability, eliminates rework, and protects your capital equipment investment.
- Automatically simulates every bend before production begins.
- Detects potential interference between tooling, carriage, and tube geometry.
- Supports multi-stack bending setups.
- Reduces setup time and operator trial/error adjustments.
- Improves first-part accuracy and short-run profitability.
- Compatible with 3D STEP import, letting engineers validate bends directly from CAD models.

Safety
Safety is a mission-critical part of the continuous improvement culture at Winton Machine Company. Our machines are designed with advanced safety features and are regularly inspected to ensure they meet the highest safety standards. We also provide comprehensive training and resources to ensure your operators are fully equipped to use our machines safely and effectively. As machine safety options evolve, Winton Machine evaluates new safety trends to integrate proven and well-vetted design upgrades in all our machines which are engineered, manufactured and serviced here in the United States.
3D Simulation/Collision Detection
This software feature allows a user to see the bending process prior to bending on the machine. The software shows the bending process in real time (cycle time) and will alert a user if the bent profile interferes with the machine.
