How switching to all-electric CNC pipe bending machines reduces spring-back and energy costs. Wonsten Group analyzes the shift in automotive and aerospace pipe fabrication.
The Precision Shift: Is Your Bending Process Ready for Complex Geometries?
In the pipe fabrication industry, “good enough” is no longer acceptable. Whether you are supplying fluid transfer lines for EVs (Electric Vehicles) or structural frames for aerospace, the tolerance for error has shrunk to near zero. The market is aggressively moving away from traditional hydraulic systems toward All-Electric CNC Pipe Bending Machines, and the data backs this transition.
The Problem with Traditional Hydraulics
While robust, older hydraulic benders struggle with two critical factors:
Oil Temperature Fluctuation: As the machine heats up, oil viscosity changes, leading to inconsistent bend angles as the day progresses.
Energy Waste: Hydraulic pumps run continuously, consuming power even when the machine is idling.
The Wonsten Group Solution: Precision Control
At Wonsten Group, we have observed a 40% increase in inquiries for fully electric models this year. Why? Because servo-electric motors provide exact control over every axis—feeding, rotating, and bending (Y, B, C axes).
Unlike hydraulic systems that require constant manual adjustments, Wonsten Group’s latest CNC series utilizes advanced torque monitoring. This allows the machine to detect variations in material spring-back instantly and compensate in real-time.
Technical Insight: For manufacturing complex shapes like 1D bends or push-bending radii, 3D simulation software is essential. It predicts collisions before the pipe even touches the die, saving expensive raw materials like Titanium or Inconel.
