What is a Tube Bending Machine

A tube bending machine uses precision tooling to form pipes or tubing into single or multiple bends. Straight lengths of material are fed into the machine, where they are clamped and manipulated into the desired shape according to the required angle and radius.

Tube bending machines come in a range of types depending on the application, from basic manual models to fully automated systems.

They can be human-powered, pneumatic, hydraulic-assisted, hydraulically driven, or powered by electric servomotors.

Modern all-electric machines use servo motors for each motion, allowing for exceptional control, repeatability, and energy efficiency – making them ideal for high-precision and high-volume production.

These machines are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, furniture, and fabrication, where bent tubing is required for structural, fluid, or aesthetic purposes.
