8 reasons for choosing an all-electric tube bending machine
Automatic tube benders are used in a wide variety of applications such as automotive, motorcycle, aerospace, furniture, industrial vehicles, residential and industrial heating and cooling systems. Different from the traditional hydraulic pipe bender, the advantages of the all-electric pipe bender are more obvious. This article describes the main advantages of an all-electric tube bender.

1. faster in production changeover
The all-electric tube bender requires no manual adjustment. Because the movement of the machine can be controlled electrically, all set-up operations can be performed automatically by the machine programming software at each production changeover, rather than manually by the operator as with hydraulic pipe benders. Since no manual adjustment is required, there is little risk of error, and even inexperienced operators can work proficiently.
The great advantage of an all-electric tube bender is simply getting the precision you need and repeating that result over and over again. In fact, the electric pipe bender can record the axis coordinates and bending parameters and recall them at any time. The all-electric tube bender does not require any manual adjustments, so at any point in the future the machine can recall previously recorded parameter settings to produce the same part. Using an all-electric tube bender also eliminates human error.
3. Simpler to optimize the work cycle
The motion of the all-electric pipe bender is controlled by CNC axis, allowing the full potential of the pipe bender programming software to create bending cycles that optimize the motion based on the parts produced.
4. Simpler to obtain high aesthetic finishing bends
The all-electric pipe bender can adjust the force applied by the electric axis according to the different pipe bending process. For thin or thick pipes, materials of different strengths, and modify them according to the needs of the processing process. This not only greatly improves the quality of the product, but also effectively reduces the stress on the mechanical components, thereby increasing the life of the system and reducing the wear of the machine components.
5. No transition periods
Taking a hydraulic pipe bender as an example, the oil temperature directly affects its viscosity. Higher oil viscosity will cause slow action and overheating, which will affect the final pipe bending accuracy and also affect the working state of the machine. The all-electric pipe bender has no hydraulic oil heating. Therefore, there is no transition period.
6. Lower energy consumption
In an all-electric tube bender, the only motors that use energy are those that actually do the moving work, so the use of power depends on the action in the process. As a result, energy consumption only occurs when needed, resulting in considerable cost savings for manufacturers.
7.Clean work environment
Oil leaks often occur in the connections and seals of the hydraulic system of the hydraulic pipe bender, and the seals also deteriorate over time. However, there is absolutely no oil in the all-electric tube bender: the working environment is therefore cleaner and healthier.
8. Reliability
Electric pipe benders do not have operations such as changing oil, changing filters and seals, and checking for leaks. Furthermore, in a modern all-electric tube bender, all information about axis management, including any anomalies, goes through the CNC, so in the event of a failure, the information can be sent directly to the parent company for a quick and efficient repair intervention remotely.
