CUSTOM PIPE & TUBE BENDING TECHNOLOGY & CAPABILITIES | |
State of the Art Pipe Bending and Tube Bending Machinery For Your Custom Bent Pipe or Tube Projects
Pipe Bending and Tube Bending Machinery Sharpe Products is equipped to bend tube and pipe from 1/4" O.D. to 6" O.D. We have a total of 12 tube bending and rolling machines:
- 4 NC (Manual) Tube Benders
- 8 CNC Tube Benders
- 5 of the CNC Benders have Multi-Radius & Tube Generation Capabilities for Large Radii.
- 4 of the CNC Benders are All-Electric Rotary Benders, 1 is a Freeform Bender, & 1 is a Semi-Electric Bender.
Latest Pipe Bending and Tube Bending Technology ALL ELECTRIC UNISON BENDERS: These benders make high quality parts with their unique capabilities such as high accuracy and repeatability, reduced set-up times, and reduced scrap. Our Unison CNC 76mm Breeze bender can bend up to 3" O.D., and the Unison CNC 130mm bender can bend up to 5" O.D. Both machines include multi-radius stacking and rolling, and hole punching capabilities. By using all electric tube bending machines we are able to deliver our customers quality American made products in an even more cost effective and time efficient way.

In this video of our Unison 130mm tube bender you can see the stacking capability being utilized for this part. It is a complex bend using 3" O.D. stainless steel tubing being bent on a 3" center line radius. | LANG 90MM ALL ELECTRIC TUBE BENDER: The Lang 90mm all-elecctric tube bender can bend tube and pipe up to 3-1/2" O.D. and has all the same benefits of our other all-electric tube benders with its multi-radius stacking and rolling capabilities. High accuracy and repeatability along with reduced set-up times and reduced scrap are not only lean in the manufacturing process but they also greatly reduce customers' costs.
BLM E-TURN BENDER: This all electric bender can bend pipe or tube up to 1-1/4" O.D. In addition to the many advantages of an all electric machine, the E-Turn has the widest flexibility because of its in-process right and left bending with fixed and variable radius. It also has increased feasibility of more complex structures.
NISSIN 3D BENDER: This tube bender offers extraordinary advantages over conventional bending machines. A tube is continuously guided through a single die according to the programmed specs. This single die technology offers flexibility in part design which is unmatched by other forms of bending. Advantages over conventional tube bending include: the ability to produce multi-radii parts without additional tooling, little to no distance required between bends, tube roundness and thickness are maintained as the part continuously passes through the die, and the ability to produce angles greater than 180 degrees. Minimal set-up and lead times are achieved for even the most complex parts making this bender ideal for production of prototypes to large volume production.

In this video our Nissin tube bender is bending many types of parts with complex bends that a traditional tube bender would not be able to do without having additional tooling costs. Sharpe Products can bend up to 1-1/4" O.D. tube on this bending machine. |
CNC TWIN HEAD COMPRESSION BENDER: The CNC twin head compression bender can bend pipe or tube up to 1-1/2" O.D. This bender forms two bends simultaneously on the same pipe or tube part, and is ideal for high speed manufacturing of symmetrical shapes. Handles, furniture, and frames of many varieties are typical applications for this type of bending.
Bend Die Tooling We offer a very large inventory of tooling with over 600 bending dies. This allows our customers to save on tooling costs. In addition to our already furnished inventory, we also have a tool and die design department, ready to meet any of your custom die needs. The tool and die department can build your die in a cost efficient manner with shortened lead times. Search Sharpe's Tooling List
