Free-Form Bending with NISSIN is Unmatached by Traditional Bending Processes
Sharpe Products, an ISO 9001:2008 registered company and a provider of custom pipe/tube bending and fabricating services, offers unique capabilities with the use of the NISSIN 3D bender. This bender offer extraordinary advantages over conventional bending machines as a tube is continuously guided through a single die according to the programmed specs input into the bender’s software program. With this single die technology more flexibility is offered to customers when developing their product designs, which is unmatched by other forms of traditional CNC bending.
Some of the many advantages over conventional bending include:
1.) The ability to product multi-radii parts without additional tooling, little to no distance required between bends
2.) Tube roundness and thickness are maintained as the part is continuously passed through the die
3.) The ability to produce angles greater than 180 degrees
The result is greatly reduced lead times and minimal set-up costs for even the most complex parts. These unique capabilities are equally ideal for developing prototypes as well as for large volume production runs.
