CML USA Inc is the manufacturer of tube,
pipe and profile bending machinery. With 40
years of experience, the company offers a
wide variety of Ercolina® pipe benders, tube
and pipe benders and tooling for round and
square tube.
The company has recently launched a new
model in its Ercolina® range. The 050KD
Economy Top Bender is suited to bending
tube, pipe, squares, rectangles, solids and
other profiles. The machine bends ferrous
and non-ferrous materials from ¼" to 2½",
and is compatible with Ercolina’s two axis
A40/P positioning table for multiple and
sequential bends.
A heavy-duty gear case accommodates
radii up to 11⅞" centreline radius, and
standard tooling is available in multiple
radii from stock with CLR as small as two
times diameter. Operator friendly control
programs bend angles to 180° with
individual springback setting.
A linear scale provides visual reference
of counter bend axis and increased
repeatability, and a standard motor brake
ensures bend angle accuracy. The Ercolina
050KD patented swing away counter
bending die vice allows quick loading
and unloading of workpieces, while a hex
mount patented tooling system allows rapid
changeover.
Another new product in the CML range
is the Ercolina TB76 rotary draw bender.
The TB76 achieves repeatable and
accurate bends to centreline radii as tight
as two times the material diameter in
tube, pipe and profiles up to 3" capacity
without a mandrel. Tooling is available
for tube, pipe and conduit, while special
