Modern Tube Bending Machinery
Tube bending companies are faced with a huge variety of equipment and features available on the market today. This presentation will step through those options and discuss the various part considerations and machine options. Specific items for discussion will include basic bending methods, hybrid technology, "all electric" terminology, robotic bending machinery and automation of bending machines. The intent is to match job requirements with budget and technology.

Selecting the Right Lubricant for the Tube Material - Tube Forming & Mandrel Bending
With modern lubrication, companies can maximize bending and forming processes. However, selecting the best lubricant requires a proven methodology. Find out how to narrow down to the best options for today's substrates with industry best practices. Real world case histories will be discussed and there will be time for individual focus on attendee processes.
