New PC Control For The Bend-It
Share:
Eaton Leonard Tooling, Inc. (ELT) has developed a new PC control for the Bend-it, a CNC bender designed specifically for Muffler Shops and Exhaust Warehouses.
The new control that was designed specifically for the Bend-it utilizes state of the art electronics. It incorporates a self-diagnostic program to test practically every portion of the machine. All of the electronic components are available off the shelf. It has also been upgraded to include a DESIGN MODE. The design mode allows the operator to easily and accurately pattern bend an existing part and save the data to his specific part number.
The Bend-it is a bender that was specifically designed to bend automotive exhaust and tail pipes. These sizes are typically 1 ½" - 3.0" in outside diameter. The typical center line radius that the Bendit utilizes is 1.75D. The typical muffler shop manual bender can only bend 2D before wrinkling or excessive marking occurs. A big advantage that this tighter radius bending capability will provide is more flexibility with the routing of the pipe. THE QUALITY OF THE BENDS THAT ARE PRODUCED IS EXCEPTIONAL. The Bendit also does an outstanding job bending stainless tubing
There are approximately 1,000 pre-programmed part numbers available for purchase. They are categorized by Walker's part numbers. The machine is also programmable. The control will accept Bend Data Card format.
The operation of the machine is very easy to learn. A new operator will be able to operate the bender with just a few hours of training.
