Abstract
Generally the pipings in plants are constructed with welding type piping parts. However recently, the shortage of welding workers and piping workers advanced rapidly, accordingly, the omitting of welding has been investigated. In such background, attention has been paid to pipe bending, and in particular, cold bending method which is easy to handle and the equipment is cheap has been adopted. In order to increase the application of bending and improve its quality, the bending system utilizing an NC pipe bender for small bore pipes has been developed, and in the application to actual plants carried out so far, the results were obtained. The drive for pipe bending, pipe clamp, pipe cutter, pipe end positioning device, rear work support, spring back automatic measuring instrument and controller are the main components of the system, and their functions are explained. The integrated design-production system by utilizing CAD and 3D data, the system of assigning pipes to materials, the continuous manufacture of bent pipes by incorporating a cutting machine, the improvement of bending accuracy by spring back measurement and so on are the features of the system.
