Applications of Pipe and Tube Bending Machine
For many years now, tube bender machine that are digitally controlled satisfy the highest technical performance capabilities and quality requirements. The bending process is practically used in all segments of the metalworking industry, furniture industry, fitness equipment, automobile exhaust pipe bumper, car, bicycle, motorcycle frame, refrigerator air conditioning condenser pipe, sanitary ware and other decoration industries, etc.
Here are the top four sectors that employ the bending processing technique:
Aerospace Industry
Aerospace industry uses a variety of profile bending machines, such as the cnc bender machine, to produce products such as hydraulic lines, exhaust systems, engine lines, seat frames and fuel lines. One of the most difficult challenges for the aerospace industry is to create durable and robust bends with steel pipe bender, in order to meet industry standards.

Automotive Industry
The automotive sector heavily relies on mandrel bending machines to minimize thin wall tubing’s ovality when it’s bent. The present pipe bending machines can help eliminate wrinkles on the inside radius of the bends too.
Automotive precision bending requires extremely high precision and repeatability to meet the mass demands of automobile manufacturers. Automobile bending demand is also constantly changing. Tube bending machines are used for manufacturing automotive exhaust systems, brake and fuel lines, seat frames, structural components and cooling systems as a result.

Heavy Truck Industry
In the heavy-duty truck industry, small and precise radius bending is often performed on difficult-to-bend tubing and pipe materials with 409 or 304 stainless steel. These materials can only be bent by high quality pipe benders, because they require large pipes of high strength. Our BLMA pipe benders and profile bending machines are used in the manufacture of fuel lines, engine pipes, many structural components and other custom fabrication for heavy trucks, which satisfy plenty of customer’ needs as much as possibly.

Ship-building Industry
From small vessels to commercial ships, the pipe bending processing technique is often utilized to create hydraulic lines, exhaust systems, fuel lines, and water lines.
