These die components are typically specific to the actual outside diameter of a tube or pipe and it is specific to what radius the material will be bent upon. Most applications involve several die components. The second is Press Bending and the third is mandrel bending.

The first is compression bending, which is also known as rotary draw bending. There are 4 different types of bending tube and pipe that are typically known in industry as a standard. We have a basic library at our main site under the Library section and will refer to that section on occasion.

There are many great online resources and libraries for bending applications and I will cite some of them as I think of them. The primary one is the day-to-day dealing with customers and their applications and attempting their applications on our machines as they come about. I have collected my information from a variety of resources.

This topic is going to involve some basic bending concepts that we at Baileigh Industrial discuss with our customers and prospective customers on a daily basis.
