Tube bending capacities
The range of tubes we can bend with the tooling currently held by Frocester Engineering
Addison Universal 32 Mandrel Bending Machine
- Semi-automatic mandrel bending machine with good repeatability
- Bend tolerance normally + or – 1mm depending on wall thickness
- Tooling best made by an experienced tool maker and therefore can be expensive
Tooling Currently Held:
| Tube Size (mm) | Wall Thickness (mm)* | Inside Radius (+ or – 1mm) |
Centre Line Radius (+ or – 1mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31.75 diameter | 1.63 | 65 | 81 |
| 25.4 diameter | 1.63 | 55 | 67.5 |
| 22.22 diameter | 1.63 | 53 | 64 |
| 19.05 diameter | 1.63 | 43 | 52.5 |
| 15.88 diameter | 1.63 | 52 | 60 |
| 15.88 diameter | 1.63 | 35 | 43 |
| 19.05 square | 1.63 | 55 | 64.5 |
| 15.88 square | 1.63 | 30 | 38 |
*This is the ideal wall thickness. We can usually adapt mandrels to allow 1.22, 1.5 and 2mm wall thickness tube to be bent in most of the sizes listed.
Di-Acro Hydra Power Bender No. 6
- Semi-automatic non-mandrel bending machine
- Repeatability good when used by an experienced operator
- Can bend tube, solid bar or flat plate
- Bend tolerance depends greatly on the material being bent
- Tooling is fairly straight forward and can be made in-house
