The BLM SMART BENDING MACHINE provides a very powerful and adaptive system in a compact layout. Working with tubing up to 1.125" (28MM) the system is integrated with loading-unloading capabilities which enable automated non-stop operation. Capable of both right-hand and left-hand bending. Stack tooling provides multiple radius capability. Bend tube, wire or hybrid tubes (with flanges, end-forms etc.).
The SMART is particularly well suited for bending complicated shapes and multiple radii tubes used in the automotive, air conditioning, heating and refrigeration industries. The all-electric axis control gives the ability to produce tight bend radii, even less than 1D, and to produce complex shapes with multiple radii or for pre-assembled tubes with flanges, end forms or fittings. The CNC tube bender SMART is a machine capable of running without a dedicated operator.
