CNC Tube bender
CNC Tube bender
(OP)
Could someone supply me with names of manufacturers for CNC tube bending equipment? We spend a lot of labour dollars bending hydraulic lines, usually the same configuration over and over again. I'd like to see if it's economical to automate some of this. Material is always 316, always 1/4", bend radius can always be the same, all bends are 90 or 45 degrees.

Two that come to mind are
Pines
Eaton Leonard.
Company I worked for had one each, the Pines was an older one and the EL was near new...The EL was much more user friendly and I have heard that Pines has gone the way of PRO/e....in other words, we need them more than they need us.
