Understanding the Tube Bending Process
Develop a deeper understanding of the tube bending process and what happens to the material in the tube or pipe when it is bent, how the machine operates, and the basic solutions that can be integrated in the system to help monitor and control the machine for the perfect bend.

Novel Lubrication for Mandrel Tube Bending
There are many variables that help determine what lubricant to use in mandrel tube bending to achieve desired process results. What is best for your process to reduce tool wear and downtime? Find out how to narrow down to the best options through friction evaluation tools and industry best practices. Modern lubricant regimes and real world case histories will be discussed as well as time allowed for individual focus on attendee processes.
