Bending machine for finned and unfinned heating elements

Oakley Industrial Machinery has developed a semi-automatic bending machine for heating elements capable of bending both finned heating elements and unfinned tubular heating elements with precision and efficiency. This versatile solution offers an ideal balance of performance, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability, making it perfect for manufacturers who require high-quality, consistent bends across a wide variety of element sizes and shapes.

Engineered for ease of use, the machine ensures precise and uniform bends, even for elements of varying lengths, with the option to program specific tolerances for each leg of the element. This bending machine has one programmable N.C. bending unit, while the elements are displaced manually during the bending steps.  Its robust construction provides long-term reliability, minimizing maintenance and reducing downtime.

Bending machine for finned heating elements

Advantages

The concrete advantages that make the difference

Versatile bending capabilities

Suitable for both finned and tubular heating element and for a wide range of diameters, shapes, and bending angles.

Bend elements with different lengths

Automatic compensation for length variations between elements, distributing differences to areas where strict tolerances are not required. (immagine da manuale del pannello elmiti)

 

Tight-radius precision

It is capable of producing tight-radius bends without compromising element quality.
