Semi-automatic tube bending machine for U/M shapes — a cost-effective solution for heating elements forming.

In the production of heating elements, U-shaped and M-shaped bending is one of the most common and critical processes. To meet the needs of small-batch production and cost-sensitive customers, our company has launched a semi-automatic tube Bending Machine (U/M shape) . This equipment features a stable structure, simple operation, and high cost-effectiveness, and is widely used in the forming and processing of various heating elements.

I. Equipment Overview

The semi-automatic tube bending machine is an economical tube bending device specifically designed for forming and bending U-shaped and M-shaped heating elements. Manual feeding and rotation of the heating element, combined with mechanical limiting, achieves precise bending, ensuring consistent forming while effectively reducing equipment investment costs.

two models in this series to meet the needs of different production conditions:

• Hydraulic type: WG09Y
• Pneumatic type: WG09

II. Comparison of Parameters and Features of the Two Models

Semi-automatic hydraulic tube bending machine (WG09Y)

This model is suitable for working conditions with a wider range of tube diameters and higher bending force requirements .

1. Power supply: 380V / 50Hz
2. Motor power: 3KW
3. Hydraulic station working pressure: 70Kg
4. Applicable tube diameter: 6 ~ 16mm
5. Molding shape: U -shaped / M -shaped
6. Note: Large-diameter tubes require annealing.

Features:

• Hydraulic drive, large bending force
• Suitable for medium and large diameter tubular heater
• Stable molding and high repeatability

Electric + Pneumatic Tube Bending Machine (WG09)

This model is characterized by energy saving, cost reduction, and simple maintenance , and is suitable for production of standard specifications.

1. Motor power: 1.5KW
2. Power supply: 380V
3. Air source requirements: 0.6MPa compressed air
4. Applicable tube diameter: 6 ~ 12mm

Features:

• Simple structure and low operating cost
• The requirements for the factory's gas supply are not high.
• Suitable for mass production of small and medium diameter tubular heater

III. Operation Method and Molding Characteristics

Both types of semi-automatic tube bending machines use:

• Manual feeding
• Manually rotate the tube
• Mechanical limit control of bending angle and position

This design, while ensuring consistent molding, significantly reduces equipment complexity, making it ideal for:

• Heating elements manufacturers
• Home appliance component manufacturers
• Small and medium-sized production lines
• Application scenarios with multiple specifications and frequent model changes

IV . Why choose a semi-automatic tube bending machine ?

• Low investment cost and quick return on investment
• Mature structure, simple maintenance
• Low barrier to entry and quick training
• Suitable for molding conventional shapes of electric heating tubes
• Hydraulic or pneumatic solutions can be selected based on tube diameter and production capacity.

the hydraulic WG09Y model that prioritizes greater bending capacity or the pneumatic WG09 model that emphasizes economy and stability , semi-automatic tube bending machines can provide a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for U/M shape forming of tubular heaters.
