Bender pipe machine for heat exchanger hairpin tube

Machine Overview

This hairpin pipe bender machine is precision equipment in the heat exchanger industry. It is designed using a semi-automatic production mode. Workers can complete the production process of bending and unloading copper tubes through a simple foot switch.

The equipment uses two servo motors to drive it. One servo motor drives the screw to realize automatic unloading, and the other servo motor is responsible for bending copper tubes into shape. In addition, combined with the modular design, it can replace tools at a low cost, allowing the bending of tubes of various sizes to meet production needs.

The pipe bending machine produced by CHANGHENG can support the processing of 2.5-meter pipe materials, and is backward compatible with all sizes. This size range can cover 90% of heat exchangers and radiators.

The advantages of the bending machine

High-efficiency production

This machine has 4 workstations that can bend tubes simultaneously, which means the production efficiency has increased by 4 times. The single production cycle takes only 10 seconds, and the automated unloading further improves the production efficiency.

Flexible size range

This Bender pipe machine supports a tube range of φ5-25.4mm, and the tube wall thickness is 0.25-0.9mm. Users can customize various center distance tools and produce hairpin tubes with any center distance. This means a factory only needs one bending machine to produce all hairpin tubes.

Accurate size and consistency

Since the bending power comes from the servo motor, the bending and forming time can be set according to technical requirements. This controllable capability directly improves the quality stability, ensuring that each tube’s bending angle and length maintain good consistency.

Excellent design

The workbench height of this machine is 800mm, and the operator can work sitting or standing. We have fully considered the ergonomics design to reduce workers’ fatigue.

Advanced features of the pipe Bender machine.

1. Intelligent control system:

The machine has a 7-inch touchscreen, supports switching between Chinese and English, and can preset production parameters. Users can monitor the operation status and diagnose device faults in real time. The control panel retains the commonly used physical buttons, allowing a quick response in case of an emergency and a quick stop of the machine.

2. Quick switch between multiple molds:

Through modular mold design, technicians can complete the mold replacement task in just 30 minutes, adapting to the needs of different production tasks and reducing the idle time of equipment.

3. Advanced servo drive technology:

The equipment uses servo motor drive technology to control feeding and bending high-precision movements, ensuring uniform pushing force and controllable bending angle, and avoiding pipe wear and dimensional failure.

4. Environmental protection and safety design:

This and the noise of the pipe bending machine are very small, and it is equipped with an emergency brake and protective devices, which meet the environmental and safety standards of modern factories.
