Waste not, want not - Reducing scrap in bending tube, pipe
Waste not, want not - Reducing scrap in bending tube, pipe
November 25, 2008
For many bending applications, it is common practice to determine the necessary length of tube, run a few samples, make some minor adjustments, and then start production runs. The problem is that the initial evaluation may have been based on safe, by-the-book estimates and calculations. Re-evaluating a bending project might yield substantial material savings.
