Abstract: Laser tube bending is a highly flexible forming technique where the tube is formed by internal thermal stress induced by laser. In this work, the finite element simulation of laser bending ...

For many tube fabrication applications, making a successful bend is straightforward, especially when using one of the latest rotary draw benders. A full set of tooling—bend die, wiper die, clamp die, ...

Abstract: The art of rectangular tube bending is analyzed, with particular attention being given to lube wall thickness variations. Effects of these variations on tool design are discussed, and ...
