Enormous technological developments have taken place in tube and profile bending in recent years. Technological improvements in bending machines, bending tools and materials have ensured that the bending process has become more and more profitable.
Special tools for small radii can be manufactured more easily and at an affordable cost price thanks to modern-day CNC machining centres and the capacities of CAD/CAM programmes.
A restriction that frequently arises during the bending process often involves the chosen radius. This is also very much dependent on the material and the diameter. Technically speaking, there are often more options than people think. So it won’t hurt to put in a feasibility request to a DTBA bending company.
BENDING
Rolling a profile requires the same level of specialist skills as bending. Profile rolling (both CNC and conventional) makes it possible to roll tubes and profiles in various diameters.
In addition to rolling profiles, other products can also be produced, including square and rectangular tubes, corner profiles, solid axles, UNP /HEA / IPE profiles, and flat and elliptical tubes.
Profile rolling is carried out on almost all common ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, cunifer and titanium. Examples include rings, piping, heating and cooling coils, spiral staircase handrails, fencing and guard rails.
ROLLING
In the past, it was very difficult to bend a tube with a radius of less than 2D (twice the diameter of the tube). That’s why many companies opted for a construction with weld fittings instead of a bent tube.
With today’s technology, 1D (one times the diameter of the tube) and even smaller than 1D is possible, provided that the correct combination of materials, machines and tools are chosen.
Special tools for small radii can be manufactured more easily and at an affordable cost price thanks to modern-day CNC machining centres and the capacities of CAD/CAM drawing programmes.
RADIUS
Welding has long been relied upon as the joining process for the installation of piping networks and installation works. However, tubes are being bent more and more often in advance. Compared to the use of welded parts, the bending process has many advantages! By reducing costs on expensive weld fittings, you can make savings not only on material costs, but also in purchasing and storage. On top of this, you can also make savings in energy, time and any preliminary or final processes.
