Specialized equipment that allows you to bend pipes at different angles without compromising their performance is widely in demand in production. The semi-automatic mandrel pipe bending machine minimizes the time for each operation. Significantly reduces the amount of scrap during the manufacturing process.
What tasks does the equipment solve
Pipe, one of the most used metal profiles. But, unlike other types of products, bending the pipe while maintaining the profile is quite difficult. For this purpose, special manual and semi-automatic machines are used. Rolled metal can be bent without deformation of the walls. In addition, the pipe bending machine solves a number of other tasks:
- Maximum rational use of the round profile.
- Minimize the use of a welding machine to create curvature.
- Reducing the cost of manufacturing parts from pipes.
- The absence of welds makes the pipeline more durable in operation.
- Ability to work with pipes made from different alloys.
There is a fairly large variety of designs aimed at working with pipes. Manual is used exclusively in repair shops to work with a profile of small thickness. With an electric or hydraulic drive, it is possible to bend pipes with a sufficiently thick wall.
Classification and scope
The simplest machine for working with pipes made of soft metals, a special spring. Put on the profile, it allows you to make a perfect rounding with minimal negative consequences. But, a spring pipe bender will not cope with more serious tasks:
- segment analog, great solution for small production;
- mandrel machine, the most accurate result;
- a special roller on which the pipe is wound.
Most often, equipment is used by services for the creation and maintenance of pipe lines. The machine is indispensable in industries where the supporting structure acts as a pipe. Mechanical engineering, the production of motorcycles and agricultural machinery is impossible without the right tube bending machine.
