Springback has always plagued metal tube bending. Once the clamp pressure is released by the CNC bender the tube wants to go back towards straight, thus reducing the angle of the bend. To those manufactures such as Baorui for auto part, medical devic...

One of the toughest metal forming operations on the planet and especially important for automotive and industrial use is exhaust pipe bending. Generally speaking exhaust pipe will not made of structural steel tube because it is exposed to heavy therm...

The challenges of bending stainless steel tube do not end with perfectly matching the correct angle and radius. Surface quality is extremely important, as few will tolerate scratches or tooling marks on products used in the kitchen, bathroom, medical...

Multi-bend exhaust system is one of the most complex forming processes in tube manufacturing. Instead of one right angle bend there is a great extent of stress buildup, compression in small areas, and material turbulence by multiple bends in the exha...

Purchasing a CNC tube bending machine is no small feat - many are the single largest purchases a fabricating shop will ever make. It can be the difference between an efficient money-making asset and a frustrating maintenance problem by how a manufact...

The most apparent and frustrating problem that occurs during pipe bending is wrinkling. A single wrinkle in the inner radius of a bend will render the part scrap. The wrinkle creates a high stress concentration, and the part will ultimately fail unde...

For any of you in the pipe and tube bending business, nothing is more irritating – or frustrating – or common, than seeing wrinkles form along the inside radius on large-radius bend. This wavy ripple pattern, usually located at the inside...

This is perhaps the hardest application to bend: thin wall exhaust pipes. These pipes, with wall thicknesses under 1.5 mm, and in diameters between 40 and 80 mm, have to withstand incredibly high temperatures, corrosive exhaust gases, and severe vibr...

Hydraulic benders age. Seals get stiff. Pumps wear out. Valves respond sluggishly. Oil degrades. It is not about "if" it will age, but rather "how well the designer prepares for that". Some machines may lose their accuracy in two years, others ten ye...
