BLM GROUP adds compact head to Elect40 tube bender

BLM GROUP has announced the availability of its Elect40 all-electric tube bender with an elongated, compact head. It is reduced in height by 35% and is 31% longer, increasing the distance between the bending tool and the machine body.

The increased distance reduces the chances of the tube colliding with the frame, so it is suitable for manufacturers needing to bend tubes into complicated and various shapes. It can bend tube and pipe up to 40 mm dia. and accommodate multiple tools of variable radius at the same time, enabling the production of fixed and variable radii in a single setup.

According to the company, this system can achieve about a 10% increase in cycle time on a typical part with four bends.
