NC Tube Benders

These hydraulic semi-automatic NC Tube Benders can handle tubes in round, rectangular, square and other sections.

The NCX models can produce parts with multiple bends in a single plane. The additional pre-settable linear and rotary indexing arrangement in NCXR models allow multi-plane bending. With the exception of plane of bend (POB) and distance between bend (DBB) being manual against preset stops, the bending cycle is automatic.

CNC Wire Benders

Electropneumatics’ CNC Wire Benders are capable of bending steel wires from OD 2 to 6 mm. They can bend wires in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The push, tum and bend axes are driven

by AC servo drives.

The 6CNC3W model is a compression bend type wire bender ideal for automotive remote rods for door locks, hood support, actuator levers and also for consumer and decorative items. The electric drives consume less power, reduce noise levels drastically and provide a clean machine and working environment.
