Induction heating systems for bending of pipes IHS-X-X-BP are designed for induction heating of pipes with the use of medium frequency current. The pipes are heated before bending in one or various planes.
Bending of pipes can be used for controlled bending of rolled metal products and railroad rails.
Bending process is automatic so it enables to exclude human factor and increases the productiveness of the system and production quality.

• Fewer forcing, ðàçâèâàåìûå òðóáîãèáîì ïðè äåôîðìàöèè çàãîòîâêè;
• Fixed section of a pipe and pipe wall thickness after bending;
• Absence of residual stresses in metals after bending process;
• Exception of metal distortion and bleeding;
• Production of short radius bends with indexes 2 - 5 D;
• Induction bending of stainless steel pipes includes processes of bending and hardening and regular water cooling;
• Additional heat treatment is not required for low-alloyed, molybdenum and manganese-alloy pipes after induction bending with forced air cooling.
Application:
• Production of pipeline branches with diameters from 63,5 to 1420 mm for gas and oil pipelines;
• Torus production for ferrous metallurgy and chemical industry;
• Bending of water and steam pipelines for thermal and generating plants;
• Production of fabricated elbows;
• Assembly weldless coils;
• Medium- and high-pressure pipelines for cracking;
• Helical coils.
Programmable control system of tube bender provides optimum bending data (rate, temperature and heating time) in heating and cooling phases for getting of metal mechanical characteristics and structure of high quality after bending.
