The maximum bend radius is 110 degrees and is best for tight radius bends. There are a variety of bend types available with this method of bending including controlled crush & knuckle bends. This process is very fast and is great for high production. This motion wraps the tube around the bend die, allowing the wing dies to support the tube on each side. The steel plug, or mandrel, supports the pipe internally to reduce the amount of pipe cross-section flattening that occurs during custom tube bending and custom pipe bending. The tube is supported by a pair of wing dies that separate and rotate as the bend die moves through the center of the tube. With mandrel bent pipe bending machines, a steel plug fits inside the pipe while a rotating steel die forms the pipe to the radius of the die. This style of tube bending process we offer creates a bend by hydraulically cycling a bend die in a downward motion into the tube.

This method of bending is commonly chosen for tight radius bending. A mandrel is a tool used to support the inside of the tube to improve the quality of the bend by minimizing any flattening or quality of the bend and to help control wrinkling during the bending cycle. This versatile method can work with or without a mandrel. Understanding the tooling you are working with is also crucial to accurate tube bending. Mandrels are also used to prevent other common bending problems like tube collapse, kinked, or buckled bends.

Wiper dies support the inside of the tube to help prevent the formation of wrinkles during bending.

The pressure die forces the tube into the bend die. Rotary Arm Tube bending is an accurate, high speed method of tube bending. The clamp die holds the tube in position while bending.
