#ACCURATE TUBE BENDING CRACK#

Tubes and profiles with a maximum length of 13 meters can be processed on the 60 kN stretch bending machine. Our machine park counts two stretch bending machine of 20 and 60 kN. KerstenВ is specialised in the stretch bending technique. After the desired radius has been reached the gripper jaws open and release the profile.

#ACCURATE TUBE BENDING CRACK#

This prevents crack formations on external bent sides, wave formations on surfaces and buckling on inner bent sides. Because the machine stretches the tube, there is a constant tension on the material. Then the profile is wrapped around a form die while still being stretched. The tube is stretched to its yield point. Both ends of the tube are inserted in the gripper jaws. It is a very accurate method.ДЄ tube or section is placed in the machine. The table below shows the possible pipe sizes and the radius of the bending centerline. Technical capacities We perform bending of round pipes. Stretch bending is a bending method developed for the aerospace industry and is now used for architectural purposes as well. We bend round tube with a diameter of 20 60.3 mm. KerstenВ has the capacity to mandrel bend tubes up to Г159mm. However, this advanced bending process requires specific knowledge and special machinery and tooling. This is a flexible process to achieve tight radii in combination with minimal deformation of the cross section. The tubes are supported from the inside with a flexible mandrel. It can bend solid bars, round tubes, square tubes and extrusions of various sizes and shapes.

This CNC bending machine can bend up to 65mm material. This prevents it from collapsing and folds. The YLM brand tube bender is a CNC hybrid wipe bending and ring rolling machine, combining both wiping and rolling in one single and seamless operation. When a mandrel is used to bend a tube there is a tool inserted into it to support the tube from the inside. Mandrel bent tubing retains the same inner pipe diameter in bends. To prevent wrinkling on the inside radius or collapsing, the mandrel bending offers a good solution! Mandrel bending is the ideal method for bending tubes in very tight radii.

We have the capacity to bend tubes with diameters starting from Г 13,5mm up to Г 610mmДЇor even larger tubes, or if a very small or very large radius is required, we use the induction bending technology. Bassett provides state of the art touch screen tube bending, tube, sheet and 5 axis laser cutting, robotic and manual tig and mig welding, CNC machining, CNC plate and sheet forming, large format waterjet cutting, roll bending, sheet metal fabrication, assembly, bar coding, CAD/CAM, right down to available next day delivery on laser and waterjet cutting services. Both light and heavy tubes and pipes can be bent by Kersten. KerstenВ has an extensive range of modern (CNC-controlled) three-roller bending machines.
