faster changeover, benefits not generally associated with the bending of large- diameter tubes. The machine can be converted into right-hand or left-hand configurations, and features both fixed and variable radius bending. Change- over times are further reduced because all critical machine settings, such as clamping, pressure die, mandrel, etc., are automatically established by VGP3D graphical programming software and managed by the CNC control.
