CNC tube bending relies on coordinate systems like XYZ, YBC, and LRA to translate tube geometry into machine motion. This article explains how each format works, where each excels, and their limitations in real-world tube bending applications.

Diagnosing tube breakage is tricky. This is why metal fabricators should pay attention to the movement of dies and mandrels as well as the material itself.

Back from the dead!

This little Eagle CNC tubing bender had not run a part in over five years. With a new BendPro G2V3 control system, today it is running precision titanium parts!

In addition to a new control system RbSA Industrial installed brand new digital ControlX drives and Rexroth servo motors, using RbSA Industrial mounting adapters we design and manufacture in house. All three of the servo axes now have absolute positioning, so there is no homing process required at the start of the day.

The original machine used a chilled water heat exchanger to keep the hydraulic oil cool. We replaced that with a forced air radiator style chiller, and tucked it into the body of the machine keeping the footprint the same, with the added benefit of being a little quieter. We also added a return line hydraulic filter to keep the oil clean.

Brand new 24 Volt DC Nachi directional valves top off the hydraulic update, improving performance and safety, as they replaced 110 Volt AC valves.

Everything in the control panel is brand new, from the disconnect to the terminal blocks, with all of the secondary fuses replaced with breakers. While the panel was empty, the inside was cleaned and painted. A stack light was added for a quick reference to the machine’s status.

The BendPRO Digital Servo Monitor allows operators and technicians to see the status of the servo system, with no need to open the cabinet doors.

This little machine will provide years of additional service at a fraction of the cost of a new bender!

Knowing what makes up directional hydraulic valves on a tube bender is key to knowing what has failed when machines go down.
