Tube Bending Equipment for Everyday Application
When we talk about tubes and pipes, what comes to your mind? Most of you may think plumbing, you can see the plumbing system everywhere, from your bathroom plumbing to the fuel lines in your cars, they appear every day in your life around you. All these tubes and pipes need to be bent at a specific angle.
Tube bending equipment is used to form the tube and pipes into a specific shape and fit for specific purposes. The tube bending equipment is normally configured with the die, mandrels, and other necessary functions to achieve your pipes and tubes can be formed into your application. Most often, this type of machinery we also call it industrial tube bending machine since they are mainly operated in the factory, workshop or some places with the professional manufacturers. This machinery can be custom-made for you to bend the specific tubes and pipes in your application.
Precision Bending is Important to Each Application
In most applications which has the requirements of tube bending or pipe bending, precision bending is very important to meet the use of the whole project. If you are the tube and pipe fabrication factory and buying tube bending machinery to bend pipe and tubes for your customer, precise calculation for each bend is extremely important.
Why is the precise bend so important? In most cases, the pipes you bend need to connect with other parts of a whole project. For example, in an automobile engine, the pipe you bent must be very precise to fit the other components in the engine system. If you get the improper calculation of bend, then the whole system is not able to work.
Also, the kitchen water pipe, if your pipe not bending precisely, then the water can not send to your faucet, and the wastewater can not flow down the pipe.
How the Pipes Be Bent?
The tube bending process can be different due to different bending equipment and bending requests. Different material requires a different bending process, bending machine can be the CNC control or manual operation.
Before the tube or pipe be bent, the tube bending program has been set, the bending die has been set correctly, and then load the pipe on the bending machine, then start to bend the machine. There are several types of bending machines on the market, normally they are operated by humans, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric power. What we supply most is the CNC controlled pipe bending machine, this machine can store settings in the computer and is very easy to use. If you require complex bends and high volume production, our CNC pipe bending machine must be the best choice.
Bending dies are made in a specific shape to wrap around the pipe and for the pipe into the desired shape.
Mandrels are always the necessities for bending the pipe. When using a mandrel, it can provide support to the pipe to avoid flattening and hold the pipe firmly against the bending die.
