BENDING OF A MULTI-RADIUS TUBE

In a single cycle, items having two or more center line radii can be produced using multi-radius tube bending. This makes it possible to totally build complex structures without having to move the tube, reset it, or use any other machinery. Here is a clip of a multi-radius tube bending bent:

Additionally, this method allows for multiple, as needed switchovers between right-hand and left-hand bending heads.

With multi-radius tube bending, a wide range of industrial metals, wall thicknesses, and lengths can be accommodated.

Applications

Applications for multi-radius tube bending are numerous and include structural frames and heavy machinery. Along with oil and gas, it is typical for parts and assemblies utilized in exhaust and emissions control.

It is also typical for components and systems used in exhaust and emissions control, as well as in applications involving oil and gas or other processes.

Benefits

With the use of dual head machinery, setup and bending are specifically tailored to achieve both tiny and large radii on the same item. The capability of multi-radius tube bending to produce several bends on a part in a single cycle makes it suited for both high-volume orders and intricate, highly engineered items.

Set-Up

Setting up the machine in accordance with the tube geometry specified in the bend data sheet or production print is necessary to create a multi-radius bend. Along with the LRA data (length, rotation, and angle), the coordinates in the data sheet may be manually input or uploaded for each distinct part.

After completing this stage, a simulation is run to make sure the tube will properly pass through the tooling and machine before being bent. It's crucial to spot any indication of a probable collision or interference during this assessment.

Before the process begins, adjustments can, if necessary, be made to the software, clamps, head, or other components of the bending machine.

Mandrels, inserts for the tube or pipe, are occasionally used to make sure the tube keeps its integrity and shape during bending.

The tube or pipe can be put into the machine's collet once it has been set. To control the part's mobility, this clamps onto it. The machine then executes the program, producing the whole part in a single cycle.
