TUBING BENDERS
Tubing benders come in many sizes, for use in everything from heavy construction to auto building to home landscaping. They range from a 16-ton hydraulic pipe bender to a handheld bender for small-gauge copper and aluminum tubing. All of them, however, use one of four basic methods. Ram bending is the cheapest and easiest method. Tube benders are restrained at two ends and a ram deforms the pipe in the middle. This is suitable for light gauge tubing only. Rotary draw bending is the most commonly used method, and maintains the diameter of the pipe without deformation. In this method, the tube is drawn through a stationary counter-bending die onto a forming die of a specified radius. These tube bending machines are used in the formation of exhaust pipes, process pipes, and any aluminum or stainless steel application where interior deformation can't be tolerated. Bending is similar to rotary draw bending, except that the interior of the tube is supported by a flexible mandrel. The mandrel bends with the tube, ensuring that the interior diameter is not deformed. Ring roll bender is used for bending pipes and tubes with a large diameter. There are three rollers, two on the bottom and one on the top. As the pipe is rolled through, the top roller exerts a downward pressure, bending the pipe. The pressure of the top roller can be adjusted manually or hydraulically, and either two or all three rollers can be powered. This method is used to make drum barrels, awnings, and other circular shapes.
For a tube bending, two things happen to metal. The outside wall is reduced in thickness due to the stretching of the material and the inside wall becomes thicker due to the compressing of the material. The material actually is formed approximately about the centerline of the tube. The material that forms the outside of the bend has further to travel and therefore is stretched; the inside of the bend has less distance to travel and is compressed.
When the ratio of the tube diameter to wall thickness is small enough, the tube can be bent on a relatively small radius. Excessive flattening or wrinkling of the bend should not occur. The outside and inside of the bend tend to pull towards the centerline of the tube. Two factors that help prevent this from happening are a grooved bend die, which supports the tube along the centerline and the natural strength of the tube.

Tube and pipe rollers
The tube and pipe roller or roll bender machines consists of manual or electronic driven single pinch ring roller machines (noting some have a hydraulic top roll with DRO) and hydraulic driven double pinch models with two hydraulic bottom rolls. The company has a very diverse line of angle roll bender machines to bend tube, pipe, angle iron, solids, squares, and much more.
The manual pipe bender machines consists of two manually driven ring roll benders for bending up to 1-1/4" tubing. These are great tube roller machines for the hobbyist or metal artist. The company also has several ring roller machines that are electronically driven with variable speed inverter drives. These ring roller machines have greater capacities and are easier to operate with two driven bottom rolls. These powered tube roller machines can bend vertically or horizontally for larger section angle bends. All versions in this category have manually adjusted top rolls and are considered single pinch style machines.
The single pinch angle rolls bender line with hydraulic down feed of the top roll has digital positioning readouts for repeatability. The tube benders in this category have three driven rolls for extra power. These roll bender machines are perfect for production fabrication settings where the fabricator is making hay hoops, spiral stair cases, and much more.
Finally the company offers two versions of double pinch angle rolls, hydraulically driven roll benders with hydraulic positioning of the two bottom rolls that are coupled to two separate digital readouts. These angle roll machines have three hydraulically driven rolls. We also have two angle bending machines that have hydraulically driven rolls, hydraulically positioning bottom roll, as well as hydraulically driven lateral guide rolls. These ring roller machines are for bigger section bending projects or for more structural applications. A double pinch bender allows the operator to pre-bend and post-bend the material saving the fabricator time and money. These roll bender machines are easy to use, cost effective, and built for decades of service.
Features:

MADE EXPO – 5-8 October 2001 industry machinery
Made Expo is an international architecture and building trade show.
The third edition closes on an high note with 242,152 visitors, an increase of 21%, of whom 23,810 were foreigners (+24%).
This international event dedicated to the world of planning and building confirms its role as leader in the sector, a must-visit business appointment on the trade fair calendar and at the same time a chance for collation by operators and relaunch by the industry sector, a showcase for qualified goods with a high innovation content.
“We are completely satisfied by the result achieved”, state the organizers, “not only in terms of figures, but also and above all for the positive mood felt in the halls during the event. Over 1,700 companies took part, 254 of them from abroad, in more than 90,000 net m² of exhibition space, showing great tenacity and a desire to react to this difficult economic period. MADE expo once again proved to be an effective tool for companies, which found important business opportunities, services and in-depth analysis at the show. There was unanimous positive feedback from visitors regarding the high machine innovation and research content presented both on stands and in the cultural and technical initiatives”.
Over 180 meetings and events were on the agenda during the four days, highlighting the most relevant issues for contemporary building.
“Thanks to an innovative format that combines services and products with technology and culture”, continue the organizers, “MADE expo does not stop when the fair closes but heads towards the fourth edition, scheduled from 5 to 8 October 2011. During this period, MADE expo will continue to work, through international appointments and initiatives that will mark the months leading up to the next show. The priority for MADE expo is to support companies along the road leading to the great challenge that is EXPO 2015, which has chosen this trade fair as a benchmark for the construction system, a sector playing a lead role in development of the planet from a new perspective of sustainability for the environment and man”.
The new edition, with these conditions, will be a success. An event that was created to meet the needs of the international market, which has increasingly felt the demand of a larger trade show that allows companies to expand their commercial horizons, to make connections with international customers and search for new sales channels.
MADE expo, the landmark international event for the world of architecture and design, has responded to these needs by developing plans for a new exhibition specifically dedicated to the design world, contracting and for the interior decoration.
A showcase filled with proposals, suggestions and ideas which becomes, for the visitors of MADE expo, an opportunity to update on the latest innovations and trends. Among the last Tauringroup successes the company will present advanced technology in CNC bender.

PIPE BENDER
Bending machine is fabricated from 30mm square section tubing to provide a rock solid frame which more than stands up to the rigors of daily use. The frame is designed to give maximum stability, minimising the risks of sideways movement or skidding across floors, making operation as easy and effective as possible. The formers, which are key to creating a perfect bend, are machined cast aluminium. This means they can provide a superior and highly accurate bend as the machined area provides a perfect profile to support the pipe and gives excellent contact and virtually no movement. By comparison, most other brands use non machined die casts. Included with all machines is a dual purpose stabilising and extension bar. It can be used to give extra leverage when performing down-bends, or to give extra stability to up-bends by acting as a counter-lever. For electricians, the bar can also be used as a handy cable reel feed by simply securing it through holes in the vice mount, further adding to its versatility. When not in use the bar can be stored securely out of the way on the side of the machine. Another important development on this range of machines is the new design vice mount. Being more substantial than those of other brands, this vice mount offers added functionality. Perhaps most important is the ability to accept a wide range of vices, including those of other leading manufacturers, thanks to the universal slots. These slots are also designed to allow the vice to be secured either flush with the edge of the mount or even to overhang, in order to provide clearance to make the threading of conduit much easier, no longer making the vice mount an obstacle to the threading equipment. Yet another exclusive feature in this range comes in the form of the hexagonal drive featured on the universal and pipe bending machines. A full range of spares and accessories are available. These all have the advantage of being compatible with the equivalent machines of other leading brands. For ease of transport, a wheel kit is also available which can be attached to the bottom of any machine in the range, as well as those of other brands
In conclusion the company is a leader manufacturer of pipe bender and tube benders and has strong experience by building firm partnerships with its partners and customers around the world. This bending machine allows the pipe bending of sheet metal to form box and pan shapes, and to form bends and creases in sheet metal.
