Overview
3d cnc bending machine cells form complex wire, tube, and panel geometries for high-volume industrial application lines that need programmable multi-axis paths and tight precision.
Single-head and double-headed layouts handle steel wire bender duty from 2–16 mm wire and tube to 114 mm OD with mass production cycle targets.
