Tube Bending Technology of Tube Benders and Its Applications
News 2026-07-30
Tube bending technology is widely applied in multiple industries including boilers and pressure vessels, air‑conditioning manufacturing, automobiles, aerospace and more. Motorcycle frames are mostly fabricated by welding tubular components. The quality of tube bending directly determines the structural rationality, safety and reliability of frames as well as complete vehicles. To produce high‑quality bent tubes, proficient mastery of tube bending processing technology is essential. When bending tubes on CNC tube benders, it is critical to select proper bending modes and master data processing as well as programming methods.
Precision bent tube samples processed by CNC hydraulic mandrel bender. Suitable for auto pipes, air‑conditioning copper tubes, motorcycle and chair frame components. Realize wrinkle‑free, low‑distortion tube bending for stainless steel, steel and copper materials.
Tube forming shall satisfy the following requirements:
- The maximum tensile deformation in the tension zone outside the neutral layer shall not exceed the allowable plastic value of the material to avoid cracking.
- For the compression zone inside the neutral layer, the thin‑wall section subjected to tangential compressive stress shall not exceed the instability threshold so as to prevent wrinkling.
- Where ellipticity is required for tubes, cross‑section distortion shall be kept under control.
- Where tubes are required to withstand internal pressure, the forming limit of wall‑thickness reduction shall be strictly controlled.
