Mega Bender 030 with Mandrel System — 2-1/2″ Mandrel Tube & Pipe Bender
The 030 Mandrel Bender is an NC semi-automatic rotary draw mandrel tube and pipe bender built on Ercolina’s proven 030 platform — one machine that handles both standard rotary draw bending and internally supported mandrel bending to 2-1/2″ tube, with a patented hydraulic finger-style (FST) clamp system that minimizes the distance between bends. For shops where mandrel work is part of the mix but not the whole job, the 030 is the most versatile machine in the Ercolina line: bend 1-1/2″ Schedule 40 pipe in the morning, wrinkle-free thin-wall stainless in the afternoon, on the same bender – the base machine converts to accept Ercolina non-mandrel tooling.
Tables available in 5′, 10′ or 20′ lengths, standard with pneumatic material clamping and DRO positioning system. Electrical options: 220V or 480V three phase.
One Machine, Two Kinds of Bending
Most benders force a choice: a standard rotary draw machine that can’t handle thin-wall tight-radius work, or a dedicated mandrel machine that’s overkill for everyday pipe and heavy-wall tube. The 030 removes the choice. As a Mega Bender, it runs the full range of standard rotary draw tooling; with the mandrel system engaged, it produces smooth, round, full-flow bends in thin-wall stainless and aluminum — quality bends in 2-1/2″ OD stainless steel are exactly what this machine is built for. Tooling changeover between modes is straightforward, and both modes share CML USA’s tooling and support from Davenport, Iowa.
