Tube and Profile Bending Machines

Tube and profile bending machines roll straight tube, section and bar into radii, rings and bows. They are put to work in mining, oil and gas, heavy engineering and general fabrication, wherever a bent component has to be made from straight stock.

It depends on the section, the volume and the material. Once-off items and short runs are covered by a manual pipe roller, while heavier sections and steady production call for a motorised or hydraulic profile and tube roller. Tell us the sections you run and we recommend the right size.

Every machine is inspected with documented results and built to European testing standards, and the documentation is available on request. That gives your operation a clear paper trail for the machine.

Yes. Manual and compact profile rollers are straightforward to operate and hard-wearing, which suits training centres and apprenticeships in fabrication. For a first step into controlled bending, machines with a control panel and stored programmes work well.

Service in southern Africa runs through KNUTH South Africa and local service partners. Common spare parts are supplied through the service organisation, special parts directly from the manufacturers of the components, and a ten year spare parts supply commitment applies.

CNC-controlled tube benders are found on the market mainly for large, repeating series. The current KNUTH range covers the manual to hydraulic segment. For a controlled solution, raise it with us in the enquiry.

That depends on the machine and the tooling. The workable cross-section follows wall thickness, material and the wanted radius, and soft materials such as aluminium and copper allow tighter radii than higher-strength steel. The exact ranges are listed with the individual machines in the product grid.

A tube end finishing machine prepares tube ends: it chamfers, forms, expands and flares them so the fit and the weld seam hold. It rounds out the bending machines for a complete tube workflow. The ranges sit in the tube end finishing subcategory.

From KNUTH as a supplier of machine tools. Choose the right tube and profile bending machine in the product grid and send an enquiry, and we come back with a quotation and a delivery date. The page gives no fixed price, because it depends on size, control and accessories.

The usual materials are steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper, as tube, solid or hollow section or bar. Soft materials allow tighter radii, while higher-strength grades need more bending force and larger radii.
