MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
For a quick and evaluative quotation or order, please provide the following information:
- Name or identification number of part or product to be formed.
- Make and model of bending machine to mount tools
- give rotation of arm (clockwise/right hand or counter-clockwise/left hand)
- For Pines machines give serial number.
- For other units specify:
- (B) Bore thru Diameter
- (CB) Diameter of Counter Bore
- (CBD) Counter Bore Depth
- (K) Width of Keyway
- (KD) Depth of Keyway
- (CLH) Height to Centerline of Tube Groove
BENDING REQUIREMENTS
- Material: Alloy, Temper, Seamless, Welded, etc.
- (OD) Outside Diameter
- (WT) Wall thickness
- (CLR) Centerline Radius
- (ST) Minimum straight between tangents
- (BA) Maximum bend angle
- NOTE: Unless otherwise specified or required, clamp dies and clamping length of bending forms will be 4 x O.D. for bends on C.L. Radii equal or smaller than 2 x O.D.
- Clamp dies for radii over 2 x O.D. will have a grip (clamp) length of 3 x tube diameter.
- Specify any tolerances to be held on part shape.
- Send prints or samples if available.
- Specify any special requirements on tools such as Interlock style, lip extension in bend area, reversible mounting, hardening requirements.
- For square or rectangular tubes specify dimensions, split or one piece bending die style, and "E" or "H" plane of bend.
