How to Solve Tube Bending Problems?
If your factory production needs to do tube and pipe fabrication, such as tube bends, you must have the experience that facing these problems, tube bulge, tube collapse, tube distortion, tube deformation, these problems caused by different issues, so they might need different solutions.
You may just find one problem during the tube bending process or multiple problems, let’s take a look at some of them.

Tube Kniked After Bending
Sometimes you will find kniked bends or buckled bends after bending and why? One of the very common reasons is the material you bent is too hard, so the inner radius of the tube does not get the proper compression and may cause deformation.
The first step and most important step is to check the tooling placement, if the tooling doesn’t do set properly, no matter how proper your bending material is, how advanced your bending equipment is, the bending result must have problems. That is why after custom your bending machine, we will debug the bending tooling for your pipe and tube and after checking everything is ok, then prepare to ship to you.
Making proper mandrel to fit your bending tube size and shape is also very important. The mandrel is designed to prevent the tube from collapsing and bending with a smooth surface. The mandrel helps to fix the position while starting bends supporting the inner radius and holding it firmly to the bending die groove.
Other Bening problems Occurred During Bending
As we stated above, there still have other problems that may occur during bending, you can also check the above points that we mentioned, if you set the proper bending tooling placement and proper mandrel with the proper bending material, you can definitely get the ideal bending tube.
