How to Extend the Service Life of Bending Tooling in a CNC Pipe Bender

Due to the market tendency for complicated and precise bends, so CNC pipe benders have become more and more popular. Compared with the manual-operated bending machine, CNC pipe benders equipped with the tube bend software make the bending process much easier. However, if you want to better control the bending machine and make the perfect pipe bends, we need to focus on the proper use of tooling and machine setup.

Proper Machine Setup Increases the Service Life of Tooling

CNC pipe benders allow the complex bends in some applications to come true in a very easy way, this is the advantage of CNC benders. On the other hand, the workers will rely on the CNC control and not make the proper tooling set up by themselves.

Setup the tooling manually is also proceeded in some manufacturing companies, but the excess tooling setup will lead to the decrease of service life of tooling and loss of control.

How to Extend the Service Life of Bending Tooling

Undoubtedly, setting up the tooling properly is the best way to extend the service life of your tooling and the first step should properly position the mandrel. Bending pipe with a proper mandrel setting could control the shape of the pipe through the process of the bend. Other bend die settings can be lowered, such as pressure die is only need to keep the pipe in place.
