Today’s tube bending machines offer shops a rich range of control and system options. Here's why metal fab shops should take the time to understand all of them.

Examine your shop floor safety procedures and tube bending equipment often to prevent the injuries that powerful machines can cause.

Recientemente, una empresa no podía entender por qué no podía producir buenas piezas. La solución en realidad se redujo a matemáticas simples.

When considering upgrades, repairs, or new tube bending machines, metal fabrication shops should look beyond the equipment's technical capabilities and focus on business as a whole.

It's not uncommon for metal fabrication shops to struggle with producing precise parts on tube bending machines. The solution? Often times it comes down to simple math and communicating with the machine manufacturer.

A metal fabrication shop knowing how to respond to a tube bender in the emergency stop state means first knowing the circuits, voltage, and relays in the machine.

There are a lot of options when it comes to upgrading the controls on tube bender, but metal fabrication shops shouldn’t let fate force their hand because of fairing to replace an outdated system.

CNC tube benders are going to break—the forces involved encourage entropy all too well. What to do about it requires a long list of considerations.

Además del manual de mantenimiento de su dobladora de tubo, usted puede agregar a su programa algunos elementos que le ayudarán a mantener su dobladora en forma óptima.

Inconsistent leg lengths in bent tubes bedevil many a shop. How can you know the cause? Understand how tube bender axes are measured and set.

Discovering how tubing was consistently breaking for one well-run tube bending manufacturing operation was not easy until the team took the cover off a certain part and found a tear that was easily fixed.

When a digital servo drive kept showing carriage and overcurrent faults in CNC tube bending, technicians carefully followed the breadcrumbs to the source of the problem.

Keeping a tube bending machine in tip-top shape isn’t difficult if a metal fabrication shop maintains a regular routine. Here’s how.

Diagnosing the real problem that took out a CNC tube bender required a solid understanding of both the electrical and hydraulic systems in the machine—and the possible issues in both systems.
