Steel Tube Benders

No matter you want to buy the steel tube benders for sale or customize a steel tube bender that fits your specific production needs, you all need to have a better understanding of the steel tubing bender.

Mandrel steel tube benders provide precise, consistent tube bending results. In TubeBenderN, we offer 3 types of pipe bending machines, roll benders, semi-auto pipe bending machines, and CNC pipe bending machines. Whether you want to process stainless steel pipe bending or copper tube bending or carbon steel tube bending, here are some factors your need to consider before choosing the best steel pipe bending machines.

6 Factors You Need to Consider Before Buying The Steel Tube Bender

• The Cost of Steel Pipe Bender – the price of the steel pipe bending machine will be affected by how large the tube bending machine is, the tube OD, tube thickness, bending radius, bending precision, and other features. If you have specific requirements to build your steel tube bending machine, the price will be calculated according to all your actual demands.
• ROI – In any company, no matter how small or how big you invest in a project, the rate of return on investment is very important. The project is successful if the return on investment meets the profit target, if doesn’t, the project is loose.
• Production Capacity – Invest in pipe bending machinery, the output is very important. Machine productivity must meet your sales or production requirement. But for different sizes of tubes, different pipe materials or even different operators will affect the tube bending machine production capacity.
• Cost in Labor or Upgrade to CNC – If you are using the semi-auto pipe bending machine, it will be a good choice to upgrade to the CNC pipe bender, because of high productivity and high bending precision. In some small factories, they are still using the manual tube bender or the simple tube bender, this will cause large labor costs.
• Scrap Rate of Metal Pipes – If you want to reduce the scrap rate of metal pipes, you need to use CNC bending machine instead of the semi-auto bending machine in your workshop. The type of machine is the key factor to determine the scrap rate. Also, using skilled worker also help you save cost.
• Bending Precision and Consistency – Nowadays, more and more customers have high requests for bending precision and consistency. So, only the high-quality CNC tube bending machine can meet customers’ requests. If you want to open a new business market and get a more profitable project, CNC tube bender must be your choice.

FAQ about Steel Tube Benders

What Material Does A Steel Tube Bender Proceed?

Generally, the industrial hydraulic mandrel steel tube bender can proceed with carbon steel tube, stainless steel tube, copper tube, aluminum tube, titanium tube, etc. At TubeBenderN, both NC or CNC mandrel hydraulic steel tube bender can proceed tube bending on all these materials because all the benders are equipped with the clamp die, bending die, pressure die, wiper die, and mandrel, these tooling support and hold the steel pipe into the fixed position during the whole process. Before buying the steel tube bender, you should chat with our expert and let us know your pipe full details and your requests, then the machine can be produced to fit all your needs.

Wiper Dies and Tube Bending Mandrels

Wiper dies and mandrel are especially important when we talk about tube bending materials, different tube materials, the wiper die material, and mandrel material should also be different. For example, if you want to bend stainless steel tube, the material of mandrel and wiper die should be bronze, but if bending mild steel tube, chrome is fine.

What is The Min. Bending Radius of A Steel Tube Bender Can Bend?

At TubeBenderN, the general minimum tube bending radius is 1.5D which means 1.5 X diameter of the steel tube. But in some specific cases, our industrial mandrel hydraulic steel tube bender also can do 1.0D, 1.0 X diameter of the bending tube. Before bending, you should properly set the bending machine and you need an experienced worker to do this.

What is The Smallest and Largest Bending Capacity of Your Steel Tube Benders?

At TubeBender, our mandrel steel tube bender can bend the smallest tube diameter is 0.7 inch (18mm). For the largest tube diameter, the hydraulic pipe bender machine is customized according to the client’s pipe size and detailed requirements. The largest machine capacity we’ve made so far is for bending 8.5inch pipe.
