Development of the Soft Pipe Bending Machine with Thickness Guarantee

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Soft bending pipe is widely used for freezing equipment and shipbuilding. This pipe has some problems such that outside wrinkle, crack, phenomenon of thinning wall. However, the bending machine that can completely solve the problems is not yet. In this study, we have manufactured the self-made mandrel to guarantee both roundness and thickness of the pipe in the bending process for a soft pipe such as a copper pipe. The mandrel consisted of a ball, stick and connection pin. Also, we have manufactured the bending machine that can decrease friction between the pipe and the bending die. The experiment was tried to verify the performance of the mandrel and the pusher to the thickness guarantee of the pipe.
