Aerospace Industry
Aerospace industry uses a variety of profile bending machines, such as the cnc bender machine, to produce products such as hydraulic lines, exhaust systems, engine lines, seat frames and fuel lines. One of the most difficult challenges for the aerospace industry is to create durable and robust bends with steel pipe bender, in order to meet industry standards.
Automotive Industry
The automotive sector heavily relies on mandrel bending machines to minimize thin wall tubing’s ovality when it’s bent. The present pipe bending machines can help eliminate wrinkles on the inside radius of the bends too.
Automotive precision bending requires extremely high precision and repeatability to meet the mass demands of automobile manufacturers. Automobile bending demand is also constantly changing. Tube bending machines are used for manufacturing automotive exhaust systems, brake and fuel lines, seat frames, structural components and cooling systems as a result.
Heavy Truck Industry
In the heavy-duty truck industry, small and precise radius bending is often performed on difficult-to-bend tubing and pipe materials with 409 or 304 stainless steel. These materials can only be bent by high quality pipe benders, because they require large pipes of high strength. Our blma pipe benders and profile bending machines are used in the manufacture of fuel lines, engine pipes, many structural components and other custom fabrication for heavy trucks, which satisfy plenty of customer’ needs as much as possibly.
Ship-building Industry
From small vessels to commercial ships, the pipe bending processing technique is often utilized to create hydraulic lines, exhaust systems, fuel lines, and water lines.
Working Processes of Fully Automatic Pipe Bending Machine
Pipe bending, or tube bending, is one of the basic machining processes. By definition, pipe bending is considered any metal forming process used to form pipes or tubes permanently. This machining procedure can be a form-bound or free-form-bending process.
Pipe benders can be manual, hydraulically assisted, hydraulically driven, pneumatic, or electric servo motor operated. The tube bending process includes pressure bending, rotary stretching bending, rolling bending and induction bending.
The bending process begins with loading a pipe or a tube into the machine, and clamping it into place where among two dies, the clamping die and the bending die. Two other dies loosely hold the pipe itself, which are the pressure die and the wiper die.
The bending process involves using mechanical forces to push the material tube or tubing against the mold, forcing the tubing or tubing to adjust to the shape of the mold. Normally, the tube remains in place as its end rotates and rolls around the die. Different forms of process involve pushing stock pipe through rollers, and bending it into simple curves. For multi-tube bending processes, the mandrel is placed inside the tube to prevent collapse. The pipe is held in tension by a scraper to prevent any damage during the stress process. Wiper molds are usually made of softer materials, such as aluminum or brass to avoid damaging or scratching the bent material.
How to Choose Fully Automatic Pipe Bending Machine
Choose The Machine Based On Price Rather Than Type
Budget, while important, is only one of many important factors when choosing a fully automatic pipe bending machine. When price is allowed to drive the decision-making process, the result is often a low-cost, under-powered machine that turns into a pit due to customer churn and lack of work. The solution is to firstly figure out the size and shape of the part that needs to be bent. And, the budget for the machine needed is needed to be calculated afterwards.
Purchase The Machine To Bend At Full Load
The best suggestion for purchasing a fully automatic pipe bending machine is to enlarge a model, as the differences between different materials are needed to be taken into account. The tolerances between different grades of steel are very different as well. Therefore, to invest in a machine requires some leeway because a fully automatic pipe bending machine is rarely forced to work at full capacity.
Purchase The Fully-manual Machine To Save Money
To purchase a manual fully automatic pipe bending machine inevitably incurs additional costs. As the time takes to adjust a block for bending angle, length, and rotational positioning, it can quickly increase. Machines that use technology automate much of the process, such as nc or cnc pipe bending machine thereby saving valuable time.
Purchase The Machine Without Much Training
Bending pipes requires an in-depth understanding of the machine. Therefore, later machine training becomes crucial. In addition, the training enables the operator to gain an in-depth understanding of the best performance of the pipe bender. Working with companies that provide professional operator training and support means that productivity and efficiency can be optimized.
Important Technical Features of Fully Automatic Pipe Bending Machine
Tube Regulation
When designing and arranging pipes, avoid excessive arcs, arbitrary curves, compound bends, and arcs greater than 180°. The excessively large arc not only makes the mold bulky, but also is limited by the size of the machine tool; the design of arbitrary curves and compound bending is very unreasonable, which greatly hinders mechanization and automated production, and makes it difficult for operators to get rid of heavy manual labor. Moreover, the arc greater than 180° makes the bending machine unable to unload the mold.
Bending Radius Standardization
When you use a single-layer mold pipe bender, the bending radius should be as much as possible to achieve "one pipe, one mold" and "multiple pipes, one mold". Regarding a tube, no matter how many bends and the bending angle, there can only be one bending radius, because the module is not replaced during the bending process, this is "one tube, one mold". "multi-tubes and one mold" means that the same bending radius should be used as much as possible for tubes of the same diameter, that is, the same set of modules are used to bend different shapes of tubes, which will help reduce the number of modules.
Appropriate Bending Radius Value
The bending radius of the catheter determines the resistance of the catheter during bending. Generally speaking, a large pipe diameter and a small bending radius are prone to internal wrinkles and slippage during bending, and the bending quality is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, it is most appropriate to choose the central line radius value of the pipe bending die to be 2 or 3 times the pipe diameter.
Moderate Bending Speed
The main influence of the bending forming speed on the forming quality is: Too fast speed will easily cause the flattening of the bent part of the catheter, and the roundness will not meet the requirements, causing the catheter to tear or break. If the speed is too slow, it is easy to cause wrinkling of the catheter and slippage of the compression block, and a pipe with a large diameter is likely to cause the bending of the catheter to sink. For a large number of tests on these two cncs, it is appropriate to determine the bending speed of the catheter to be 20%-40% of the maximum bending speed of the machine.
Suitable Mandrel And Its Location
The core rod mainly plays the role of supporting the inner wall of the bending radius of the catheter to prevent its deformation during the bending process. There are many types of core rods, such as cylindrical core rods, universal single, double, triple, and four ball head core rods, directional single and multiple ball head core rods, etc. In addition, the position of the mandrel also has a certain influence on the bending of the catheter. Theoretically, its tangent line should be flush with the tangent line of the pipe bending die, but a large number of experiments have proved that it is better to be 1~2mm in advance, and the quality of the pipe bending is ideal at this time.
