Available at no charge to Bend Tooling customers is "The Rotary-Draw Tube-Bending Guide: Four Steps to Improved Bending".

This is a handbook showing how to implement in four standardized steps the "forward mandrel" set-up for rotary-draw tube-bending machines and establish process control over the so-called black art. The procedure is based upon the guiding principle that the tools make the bend and takes advantage of the inserted design of modern mandrel tooling.

Thus, the "forward mandrel" set-up makes the mandrel nose the workhorse of every tube-bending job, thus allowing the machine to operate under lower pressure, extending the life of all the other tools in the set-up (especially the wiper), and improving bend quality.

"The Rotary-Draw Tube-Bending Guide" is illustrated and includes the formulas to standardize all of your machine set-ups on the same principles. These handbooks are great to have at each of your tube-bending machines. To obtain your free copy, either e-mail us or phone us (toll-free 1-800-284-8823 or 616-454-9965) and ask for Steve Parrow or Rod Malone.

Bend Tooling Technical Bulletin

In addition to the set-up guide, we also offer at no charge to our customers the "Bend Tooling Technical Bulletin" series.

Periodically throughout the year, we prepare an illustrated technical article on a topic related to rotary-draw tube-bending, particularly mandrel bending. We cover the design and specification of rotary-draw tooling, inserted vs. traditional solid-body tooling, process control issues, set-up tips, and other matters important to high-quality tube-bending.

This series is helpful for anyone in your organization involved in tube-bending, including machine operators, engineers, designers, production managers, and purchasing staff. Get everyone a subscription to the "Bend Tooling Technical Bulletin". To do so, either e-mail us or phone us (toll-free 1-800-284-8823 or 616-454-9965) and ask for Steve Parrow or Rod Malone.
