TB60-TC Top Bender® Tube, Pipe & Profile Bending Machine

Ercolina Professional Series - Non-Mandrel Rotary Draw Benders

TB60-TC Programmable Rotary Draw Tube and Pipe Bender

Set the bend angle, compensate for springback and recall repeat jobs on a touchscreen—with no hydraulic system. The Ercolina TB60-TC Top Bender combines electromechanical rotary draw bending with unlimited program storage and bend-speed settings for each angle.

Published capacity: up to 2-1/2-inch tube and 2-inch Schedule 40 pipe; 220V single-phase power. Material grade, wall thickness, centerline radius and tooling must be approved for your part.

Videos may show optional accessories, earlier configurations or a different control version. Capacities depend on material, wall thickness, tooling and bend radius; confirm the current quoted machine. Setup and service tutorials supplement—not replace—the machine manual and qualified operator training. Follow the manufacturer’s safety and isolation procedures before adjustment or maintenance.

Higher-strength and heavy-wall materials reduce capacity.

Why Choose Programmable Bend-Angle Control?

For handrails, frames and repeat fabrication, the TB60-TC lets you recall a saved bend program rather than reset each angle from scratch. The touchscreen displays bend angle, springback and speed settings. Automatic stopping at the programmed angle and electronic counterbending-die position monitoring support a consistent setup.

Stored jobs: unlimited program storage supports repeat batches and job recall.
Springback compensation: adjust the programmed bend for the stock’s measured recovery; confirm the result with a test bend.
Controlled bend speed: angle-by-angle settings and automatic speed adjustment support the bending cycle.
Electromechanical drive: no hydraulic components in the TB60-TC bending system.
Tooling choices: quick-change tooling and multiple radii allow the setup to match the application.

Is the TB60-TC an NC Bender or a Full CNC Bender?

The TB60-TC provides programmable bend-angle control for non-mandrel rotary draw bending. It does not automatically feed and rotate the stock between bends as a full multi-axis CNC bender does. The operator loads and repositions the part; the optional A40-P two-axis positioner can assist with multiple and sequential bends.

For thin-wall material, tight radii or strict ovality requirements, ask whether mandrel support is needed. For automatic length, rotation and bending on production parts, request a review of Ercolina’s full CNC options.

Compare the TB60-TC With the Baileigh RDB-250

Compare material and wall capacity, centerline radius, program storage, tooling, stock handling, support and the complete delivered package. Published maximum diameter alone does not establish equivalent finished-bend performance.

Prepare Your Bend Data With Bend Genie

Bend Genie is free when you buy an Ercolina. Plan part length, bend locations and bend angles; contact CML USA for activation details. Confirm the layout against your actual tooling and first-piece measurements. Software layout does not automate material feeding or rotation on the TB60-TC.

Build the part in 3D, review the bend sequence, prepare LRA information, and calculate springback before production. See how Bend Genie supports a better Ercolina machine and tooling discussion.
