CNC bending machines are specialty machines that bend material. The most common types of CNC bending machines are CNC tube bending machines, and CNC plate bending machines.
They are often used to bend metal tubes and pipes for HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), automotive components, and more.
Pipe bending CNC machines can bend a pipe at any length, and to any degree. They have a chuck that holds the pipe, and move the pipe horizontally to adjust where it will be bent, and also rotate the pipe to adjust the direction of the bend. When the pipe reaches the point of bend, the clamping station holds it firmly, while the bending arm rotates to bend the pipe.
Meanwhile, plate-bending CNC machines are used to bend metal sheets to make panels for industries such as the automotive industry.
