Induction Bending

Induction Bending is accomplished by heating the material and forcing the bend to a preset radius. Since no special tooling is required, induction bending is a precise and cost-effective method of custom bending pipe or tube for architectural, industrial, commercial and specialty applications in small or large quantities. • Bend any center line radius between 12" and 48". • For tube sizes from 1.500" through 5.000" OD. • Wall thicknesses of .120" or greater work best. • Can be bent up to 180 degrees.
ONE-PASS BENDING Open-end feeding systems allow for one-pass bending of short sections or lengths to 21 feet. High accuracy in bending produces radii and degree of bend within 1/8" tolerance for the overall length. MULTIPLE BENDS Wagner can perform successive or a series of bends with changes of plane in one pass on a single section of pipe or tube. Tolerances in radii may be as little as .10". Unlike cold bending, our induction method does not require the use of costly dies, clamps, wipers and mandrels. ALMOST ANY MATERIAL - MANY SHAPES Wagner is equipped to bend steel, stainless steel, brass alloys and aluminum to standard or customized shapes as you require. Contact Wagner early in your design process so that we can discuss how our induction bending technology can save you money and material. Wagner offers you custom bending in small quantities and in any radius between 8.5" and 48" centerline without tooling charges. Our unique bending capabilities hold sizes within 5%.
