When is it useful to bend a tube with a small bending radius?

Mar 27, 2024 7:37:14 AM

Dimensions, design, geometric requirements and much more; in tube bending being able to achieve a minimum centerline radius can represent a considerable advantage. We are talking about extreme curvatures characterized by a ratio between centerline radius and diameter less than 1, which require significant technological know-how to be achieved.

Bending tool management software for tube fabricators

Jul 28, 2021 11:58:00 AM

Someone not familiar with the tube bending process is unable to imagine the complexity of maintaining the bending tool sets and using them to meet the production department’s requirements. This complexity is further multiplied when using different tube bending machines with different characteristics and needing sets to be tooled in time, whether the production batch is small or large.

A compact bending head to produce new geometries

Jul 2, 2021 3:55:22 PM

In the furniture and similar sectors, where the tubes to be bent are often very long and curved into sometimes particularly complex shapes, the bending head must take up as little space as possible to leave room for the shape that the bent tube will assume.
