Small diameter hairpin bender BURR Oak Tool Inc’s SD-VBHB small diameter vertical bend hairpin bender features throughput capacities of up to 4,000 hairpins per hour, or 70 per cent higher production due to eight parts per cycle, versus seven, and a faster cycle time. The manufacturer states that the small diameter hairpin bender reduces scrap, perishable tooling costs, labour costs and floor space. The machine uses less floor space due to a more compact design, with a size reduction of 9.5m 2 (102ft 2 ). Typical payback is under two years. The bender handles tubes up to 10mm ( 3 / 8

") diameter, making it suitable for air conditioning/refrigeration applications. Maintenance time is also reduced, with a servo hitch feed eliminating the belt feed used on previous designs, which required additional care and attention for proper operation. Other features include intuitive operator interface using the touch screen, and independent tube clamping for variations in tube diameter without causing clamp marks on the hairpins. For over 65 years Burr Oak Tool Inc has designed customised production machinery for the heat transfer and tube processing industries. Oak machines are installed and successfully operating in over 70 countries.
