Tube Bending Machine

Large radii for smooth flow of fluid.

Cost efficiency, straight material is less costly than standard components (e.g. elbows) and bends can be produced faster than standard components can be welded.

Elbows can be replaced by larger radius bends where applicable and subsequently friction, wear and pump energy can be reduced.

Induction bending reduces the number of welds in a system. It removes welds at the critical points (the tangents) and improves the ability to absorb pressure and stress.

Induction bends are stronger than elbows with uniform wall thickness.

Less non-destructive testing of welds, such as X-ray examination will save cost.

Stock of elbows and standard bends can be greatly reduced.

Faster access to base materials. Straight pipes are more readily available than elbows or standard components and bends can almost always be produced cheaper and faster.

A limited amount of tools is needed (no use of thorns or mandrels as required in cold bending).

Induction bending is a clean process. No lubrication is needed for the process and water needed for the cooling is recycled.
