In our everyday lives, bending pipes are required for the transportation of all kinds of fluids or gases and are also used as construction elements in almost any industrial branch. They are just as widely spread in the car, aviation and shipbuilding industry as they are in the chemical industry, refrigeration and air-conditioning technology, furniture industry, steel constructions or machine technology and plant engineering.

In general, all materials, which can be used for forming in cold condition, are suitable for pipe bending, i.e. steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, titanium, or aluminium. Not only circular cross sections, but also square and oval pipes, flat and mono-block material as well as profiles with all kinds of cross section Tool set for rotary draw bending.

Often, already bent steel pipes are used as basic semi-finished material for a subsequent hydro-forming process (i.e. for exhaust systems). The various application fields greatly differ, but so do the demands made on the bent work piece and its forming.
