Stainless steel pipe benders generally process wall thicknesses between 0.5mm and 10mm, depending on factors such as material strength (e.g., the hardness difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel), bending radius (smaller radii require thinner walls to prevent wrinkling or cracking), and mold compatibility. Thicker pipes require higher-tonnage machines for stable forming.
The machine’s processing capability is primarily determined by its tonnage (e.g., 50-ton, 100-ton), with higher tonnage allowing larger pipe diameters and thicker walls. Mold compatibility is also crucial, as different pipe diameters require corresponding molds. CNC machines can adjust parameters via programming to accommodate more sizes. Additionally, the hardness and ductility of stainless steel (e.g., differences between 304 and 316) affect bending results and dimensional limits.
In practice, manufacturers should be consulted to confirm the specific machine’s capabilities (e.g., certain models may only support pipes up to Φ60mm). Trial bending tests should be conducted before mass production to adjust pressure, speed, and other parameters for optimal quality. Additionally, pipes with excessively thin walls may deform, while overly thick walls can overload the machine, affecting its lifespan and bending precision.
