Suppliers: Parker Hannifin (USA) – Precision machined bushings; SMC (Japan) – Anti-corrosion adapters for copper tubes.
Optional
Die Lubrication Kit
Specialized lubricant and applicator for bending dies, reduces friction between die and tube during forming, prevents galling on stainless steel tubes.
Feature: High-temperature resistant (up to 200°C), biodegradable formula, 500ml lubricant bottle with brush applicator.
Suppliers: SKF (Sweden) – Industrial-grade lubricants; Lincoln Industrial (USA) – Precision lubrication applicators.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended operating temperature for the machine?
The optimal operating temperature is 5-40°C. Avoid using in humid environments (>80% humidity) to prevent rust on dies and frame components.
Can the machine be used for thin-wall tubes without collapsing?
Yes, with optional internal mandrel accessories (for M25-M63), thin-wall tubes (wall thickness <1mm) can be bent without collapsing or deformation.
What is the lead time for custom bending dies?
Standard dies are in stock (delivery within 3 days); custom dies take 7-10 working days for design and manufacturing, with express delivery available.
Is the WyPipe M portable for on-site use?
M16 and M25 models are bench-top/portable (45-85kg) with integrated carrying handles; M38/M50/M63 are floor-mounted but can be moved with a forklift or pallet jack.
How to maintain the bending dies to extend service life?
Clean dies after each use, apply anti-rust lubricant when not in use for more than 3 days, avoid bending tubes with burrs/rough edges, and replace worn die inserts promptly.
Can the WyPipe M bend square/rectangular tubes?
Yes, with optional square tube dies (available for M25/M38/M50/M63 models), the machine can bend square tubes with side length 10-50mm and wall thickness up to 2.5mm.
How to choose the right bending radius for different tubes?
For carbon steel tubes, minimum bending radius = 1.5×outer diameter; for stainless steel = 2×outer diameter; for copper/aluminum = 1×outer diameter. We provide a radius selection guide with each machine.
What is the maximum tube hardness the WyPipe M can bend?
The WyPipe M series can bend carbon steel tubes up to HRB 85, stainless steel tubes up to HRB 90, and aluminum/copper tubes of any standard hardness without cracking.
