BEND TOOLING INC. Information

Over thirty years ago we introduced inserted mandrel and wiper tooling to the tube-bending industry. Our continuous improvement of inserted tooling design and manufacture (via Datafacturing®) has set the standard. Click Here To Learn More About Bend Tooling, Inc. Consider these advantages to inserted tooling: Less downtime waiting for replacement tooling. Lower cost to stock inexpensive inserts instead of complete mandrels and wipers. Less shipping and handling (especially when shipping out traditional solid-body wipers for resharpening). Less scrap and higher quality because it's cost-effective to switch to fresh inserts more frequently. Greater process control because inserted tooling accommodates the "forward-mandrel, low-pressure" set-up for machines. Each new insert provides a fresh working surface to facilitate high production rates. Inexpensive to switch between tooling materials by ordering inserts in different materials or coatings. In some cases, our mandrel and wiper bodies can accept inserts for varying tube wall thickness and bend radiuses. Similarly, the radius blocks for our Shockmate™ bend dies can have multiple precision-fit grip inserts with different lengths, smooth or serrated cavities, or simple or compound clamping. However, traditional solid-bodied mandrels and wipers are still needed for high-pressure jobs bending tough materials. When you need the "big metal" instead of inserted tooling, call us. We offer a full line of solid-bodied tools built to the highest standards in the industry. Expert Tooling Solutions for End-Users, Builders, and Distributors of Rotary-Draw Tube-Bending Machines
