An aerospace component manufacturer was experiencing a 9% rejection rate when forming high-strength stainless steel hydraulic lines. Their primary challenge centered on how to bend stainless steel tube on tight radii without causing wall flattening or micro-cracking on the outer radius.
A heavy-duty CNC bender operates under massive physical stress. Pushing steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys past their yield point generates heat, friction, and vibration that take a daily toll on mechanical components.
