Tube and Profile Bending Machines

Tube and profile bending machines form tube, section and bar into precise radii and shapes. At KNUTH you will find the range for metal fabrication: from the manual pipe bender for the workshop through to the powerful profile and tube bending machine with hydraulically adjustable bending rolls for production. The machines run on motorised, mechanical or hydraulic drives and work steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper. Alongside them we carry tube end finishing machines for chamfering, formi...

FAQ's

Tube and profile bending machines form tube, section and bar into even radii, rings and bows. They are at work in metal and steel fabrication, in vehicle building, in mechanical engineering and in furniture and equipment building, wherever bent parts are made from straight stock.

That depends on cross-section, quantity and material. For one-off parts and small batches a manual pipe bender is enough, while heavier sections and continuous production call for a motorised or hydraulic profile and tube bending machine. Which machine fits your cross-sections and materials is something we settle in the enquiry.

Yes. Every machine is inspected with documented results and delivered CE compliant. The CE declaration of conformity and the full documentation are included in the delivery.

Yes. Manual and compact profile bending machines are clear to operate and robust, which suits training workshops and apprenticeships in metal fabrication. For a first step into controlled bending, machines with a control panel and stored programmes are a good fit.

KNUTH runs its own service network with engineers on the road across the region. Common spare parts come from the central warehouse, special parts directly from the manufacturers of the components, and a ten year spare parts supply commitment applies.

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

That depends on the machine and the tooling. The bendable 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 that fit and weld seam are right. It complements the bending machines for end-to-end tube production. The ranges are shown in the tube end finishing subcategory.

From KNUTH as a supplier of machine tools. You 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 does not state a 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.

Tube and profile bending: processes and machine types

Tube and profile bending machines form tube, solid and hollow section and bar into even radii, rings and bows. In profile bending, also called section rolling, the workpiece runs through three driven rolls that build the curve continuously along its length, which suits angle, flat and special sections. In tube bending a clean cross-section that does not collapse is what matters, so the machines use matched bending tooling and, depending on the radius, internal support. Many roll benders bend both to the right and the left and so produce multi-bend parts in a single pass.

Manual, motorised or hydraulic: which tube and profile bending machine fits

The choice follows cross-section, quantity and material. Manual pipe benders and tube rollers are robust and affordable and suit one-off parts, small batches and the workshop. Motorised and hydraulic profile and tube bending machines deliver higher bending force for heavier sections and work with hydraulically adjustable bending rolls, which suits continuous production. Operation is clear, so even untrained staff produce clean bends quickly.

Applications and industries

Bent tube and section go into railings, handrails, frames and facades in metal and steel fabrication, into exhaust and pipe runs, roll bars and chassis parts in vehicle building, into conveying equipment and machine frames in mechanical engineering, and into furniture, fencing and equipment building. Materials worked include steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper, soft grades as readily as higher-strength material.

Tube end finishing

Where tube is joined, plugged or welded, the tube end has to be prepared. Tube end finishing machines chamfer, form, expand and flare tube ends so that fit and weld seam are right. They complement the bending and rolling machines for end-to-end tube production. The individual ranges are shown in the tube and profile rolling machines and tube end finishing subcategories.

Why KNUTH

KNUTH is a supplier of machine tools with its own inspection and its own service. Every machine is inspected with documented results and delivered CE compliant, and the declaration of conformity and the full documentation are included in the delivery. A large stock of machines is held ready in Germany, which shortens the path from enquiry to delivery.

Service, spare parts and availability

KNUTH runs its own service network, with engineers on the road across the region. Common spare parts come from the central warehouse, special parts directly from the manufacturers of the components. A ten year spare parts supply commitment applies. For questions on sizing, tooling or availability, use the contact page or send an enquiry straight from the machine.
