How Do Automatic Bending Machines Work?

Author: Praful Sardhra

Bended tubes are extensively used in structural applications and for decorative purposes. They are installed in a wide array of machines as transportation lines for transferring fluids and powdered material. Automatic Bending Machines are used for making these special structures. The following section elaborates on how do these machines work?

The objective of bending a by using a Bending Machine is to form a round and smooth bend in it. In this procedure the outer surface of the becomes thinner and elongated, while the inner portion of the which is bended compresses and becomes thicker. In the process of bending, force is applied from two sides while the is supported by die on two sides.

The radius of the bend created on the depends on the thickness of its walls. The thickness of tube’s wall is represented by wall factor. This factor can be determined by dividing diameter of tube’s outer part by thickness of tube’s wall. Another factor that is considered in the process of bending is the diameter of bend which is obtained by dividing the centerline of bend by outer diameter of tube. As the is bended the diameter of bend becomes smaller and the wall factor becomes bigger.

The Automatic Bending Machine works by the principle of stretching and compression. According to this principle when a is compressed, its outer wall is stretched while inner wall is compressed. The is stretched and compressed in such a way that the outer bend is at greater distance from centre-line of tube. While the inner surface which is compressed and is at lesser distance from the centre-line.

In the process of bending, it is extremely important that the bend is not excessively wrinkled. Excessive wrinkles make the material of weak at its bend which makes it fragile at that place. To prevent this it is important that the right support is provided to the while bending it. Apart from this it is important that the bended area is not very flat and is not stretched to the extent that the fractures or becomes prone to cracking.
