A Pipe Bending Machine is a machine used for bending and forming pipes. Pipe benders are used throughout the world to bend different types of pipes. The most common type of pipe benders includes single and multi-turn machines that can create unique profiles with multiple bends including single, double, or even triple bends. The ability to bend multiple forms at once makes it faster and more efficient than other types of benders. Visit us to know more.

What is a Tube Bender Machine and What is it used for? Also called a tube bender, the pipe bender machine is used by industries to permanently form pipes or tubes into desired shapes. As a general rule, pipe bending processes are classified as form-bound or free-from bending and may involve heating or cold forming. In the form of bounding type, customised dies to shape the pipes or tubes. A pipe bender machine is used to bend a straight pipe and can create unique profiles using single or multiple bends. Typically, a pipe bender machine works electromechanically and has the ability to accelerate production and improve the results of monotonous and repetitive tasks. The latest technical developments are also responsible for minimizing the number of errors committed in production. How does a tube bender machine work? An automatic pipe bending machine uses mechanical force to press stock material tubes or pipes against a die. As the materials are pressed to conform to the die's designed shape, the end of the pipe or tubing is usually controlled to spin around the die while the pipe or tubing is gripped tightly. Stock material can also be formed by forcing it through rolls and bending it into desired shapes. Mandrels are placed inside the stock materials in some automatic pipe bending machines to prevent the pieces from collapsing.
Where is a pipe bender machine used? Because the electric pipe bending machine can bend pipes made of a variety of metals, including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, titanium, bronze, or Inconel, etc., there are many applications for this machine as well. A pipe bending machine can be used for components in automotive, aerospace, railway, and shipbuilding industries, among others. Moreover, the pipes produced by the electric pipe bending machine are also widely used in HVAC systems, such as air conditioners and heaters. Things to consider when using a tube bending machine There are plenty of factors responsible for the success or failure of the bending work therefore there are some things you should consider while using a pipe bending machine. That would require some calculations regarding the materials that are supposed to be bent. Among those considerations are its yield strength and tensile strength. the yield strength which is the metal's endurance against the bending force and tensile strength which is the maximum pressure metal can withstand without breaking is used to determine the mechanism of the metal. We can easily acquire the elongation value of the material when comparing the yield and tensile strength. A bigger variation between them indicates a larger number of elongation values. A larger elongation value of the metal tells us that the radius of the pipe bent by the pipe bender machine can be at a wider range. This makes it necessary to choose the suitable material which meets the standard that the machine can achieve apart from choosing the right bend die for the required geometry for the end product. Final Thoughts Today, technical advancements have made it possible for industries to increase their productivity and pipe bender machines are the result of that. Minimizing the scope of human error and improving the overall results, these tube benders have made a special place in the industry.
