When we talk about bend radius it refers to the radius measured to the center line of the tube. Every CNC pipe/tubing bending machine will have a different set of draw bend radius tooling based on previous jobs that they… Read More »Two Rules for Bend Radius in Pipe or Tubing Bending
When it comes to bending pipe or tube, there are several techniques that can be used to achieve a quality, custom-formed part. The primary types of bending used for tubes and pipes are compression bending, roll bending, freeform bending, and mandrel… Read More »4 Types of Bending Processes of Tube Bending
How to bend 304 stainless steel tubing, 4 key points of bending stainless steel tubing process, 4 Considerations for Bending Stainless Steel Tubing
Profile bending machine can bend most all aluminum structural shapes. Structural shapes can be rolled in to rings for many uses, the corrosion resistance as well as its strength-to-weight ratio make aluminum rings very useful.
Many sports and entertainment arenas use curved aluminum for its light weight and strength when making curved supports for overhead signage, display boards, and monitors.
PBC series section bending machine can can provide pipe bending for a range of pipe sizes and materials. Use the table below for more information about pipe dimensions, NPS, schedules, and weights. Depending upon your unique project requirements, Profile Bending angle… Read More »Nominal Pipe Size & Pipe Schedules
Tube bending is a metal forming process that is used to shape pipes or tubing.
Bending machines take straight tube stock and create a shape involving single or multiple bends. This allows the tubing to be formed in any fashion to fit the application’s specific needs. Round tubes are typically used for tube bending, but square or rectangular tubes can also be bent in order to meet your specific needs.
This article describes the key considerations for bending metal pipes: including wall thickness and bending radius; and material properties (yield strength, elongation, etc.) that affect the bending process of metal pipes will affect the bending process. Material selection for steel and aluminum tube bending. A metal pipe bend radius calculator is also provided.
When the curved parts are to be used in construction, it is imperative that the steel fabricator and the bender/roller communicate exactly how the parts are to be oriented. Are the square tubes rolled against one of the sides or off-axis? Are the rectangular tubes rolled against the strong axis or the weak axis? Or are they to be rolled off-axis? Equally important is whether or not these curved tubes are architecturally exposed (AESS).
