CNC Tube Bender

CNC tube benders provide users with many advantages to improve efficiency, speed, and accuracy. Due to the many advantages of CNC tube benders, these machines have a wide range of uses. Compared with manual tube bending, CNC tube bending machine can provide a more precise, automatic, and repeatable process.

What Is a CNC Tube Bender?

Compared with manual bending, CNC tube bender can precisely control the degree of bending, the distance between bends and the bending plane. The CNC tube bender has the highest accuracy due to its higher degree of control in the process. Compared with manual bending, this computerized automatic tube bending process makes it possible to perform more complex bending processes and improves overall operating efficiency. In this article, we will walk you through all the advantages of a CNC tube bender and also take a look ahead to the future of tube bending.

Precision and Consistency

The two biggest advantages of CNC tube benders are accuracy and consistency. CNC tube benders are able to control bending angles, complex bend formulas, and tool specifications so that they can create consistent precise bends. These types of elbows often appear in automotive applications. In fact, in the automotive industry, some of the most common uses of CNC tube benders revolve around bending. In particular, fuel lines and exhaust components can benefit greatly from a large number of, precise and consistent elbows. Therefore, it is not surprising that these machines are used so frequently for these applications. Other automotive applications include internal components and tubular systems found in cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. Generally, for larger components, a booster bender is used to ensure accurate bending without breaking.

 

Quality & Complexity

The use of CNC bending machines not only guarantees high-quality products but also enables service providers to repeatedly obtain the same high-quality results. The bending radius can be set to fit the necessary specifications, and you can rely on the machine to bend accurately every time the tube passes. By using a computer-controlled bending machine, the final product is less likely to have defects, and by eliminating the joints and welds in the complex assembly system, there are fewer opportunities for leaks or cracks. With the passage of time, complex bending has become more and more common. In all industries, the demand for complex elbows has never been greater. CNC tube benders are usually the best solution that needs to meet these requirements. CNC tube benders enable manufacturers to quickly and efficiently set up molds, perform calculations, and meet customer needs for customized orders.

 

Reducing Costs & Saving Time 

If you want to achieve high-quality results while reducing costs, you can consider using CNC tube bending as a cost-effective solution. Precise elbows eliminate the need for manufacturers to purchase a large number of joints and fixtures required for joint welding, and its cost will increase rapidly. The CNC tube bender can also automate the tube bending process basically so that a large number of welding technicians are not required. Most of the bending can be performed by the machine and then checked by the bending technician, which can reduce the labor cost during the entire project process, especially in the case of large-volume orders. Because machines can automate most of the process, much less manual labor is involved, which allows the process to proceed faster. Because CNC tube bending does not require joints and fixing devices to connect and fix components, it can also save labor time. In addition, the accuracy of the CNC bending machine can achieve consistent and accurate bending, thereby reducing the time it takes to repair or rework welding that does not meet quality standards. Custom bending can also be performed easily and provide more efficient and faster solutions to fit unique spaces and designs.

 

Application of CNC Tube Benders

Bend tubes are essential for many industries. CNC tube benders are widely used in all products from the automotive industry to shipbuilding, aviation, aerospace, and other fields. The automotive industry relies on mandrel bending machines to minimize the ovality that occurs when bending thin-walled tubes. Our bending machine also helps to eliminate wrinkles on the inner radius of the bend. The aviation and aerospace industries are two other industries that rely heavily on high-quality bends. In these industries, bending must be precise and there is no room for error. CNC tube bending machines can help these industries achieve extremely precise tube bending. In aerospace, the precise positioning of elbows is particularly important.

CNC tube benders can be used to perform bending for many applications. We have discussed some automotive applications, but CNC tube benders have many uses and applications, including:

  • Shipbuilding
  • Trucking
  • Heaving industry
  • Manufacturing equipment
  • Workout equipment and furniture
  • Automotive
  • Commercial Vehicles
  • Architectural
  • Aviation & Aerospace

And there are many more!
