CNC Mandrel Tube Bending
What is Mandrel Bent Tube and Custom Pipe Bending?
With mandrel pipe bending machines, a steel plug fits inside the pipe while a rotating steel die forms the pipe to the radius of the die. The steel plug, or mandrel, supports the pipe internally to reduce the amount of pipe cross-section flattening that occurs during custom tube/pipe bending and fabrication. A pipe bending clamp secures the pipe to the die. The pipe bending machine rotates the die to the desired bend angle as a sliding pressure die forces the pipe to conform to the die radius. After the custom tube/pipe bending and fabrication process, the operator extracts the mandrel from the pipe, releases the clamp and removes the bent pipe from the machine.
With proper tooling, this custom tube and pipe bending process is capable of producing high quality, tight-radius bends and custom tube fabrications for a wide range of applications.
