Induction bending like many engineering ideas, owes its success to its
simplicity and effectiveness. It operates on the principle of heating
material by the eddy current effect of an induced electrical current,
a technique which, of course, has been in use for many years. Gregson
Induction Benders will manufacture a machine based on your requirements.
We have a range of products that can handle from 2"-62" pipes. Save time - Induction bending does not require any sand filling or internal
mandrels. The bending times are considerably less than in fire bending or weld
fabrication,
making the process cost effective. Cut production costs - Time is money, and cutting down on production and
inspection time saves you money. Improve quality - The quality of the bends with respect to surface finish
are equal to that of cold bending, better than fire bending, and in the case
of ovality
and wall thinning, are superior. As the process eliminates the need for
welded or mechanical joints between bends, the integrity of the finished
pipework is higher than in any other process. Flexibility - The bend radius is infinitely variable from 2D centre line
radius to infinity. Wall thickness can vary from Schedule 5 up to 2.5" thick
with no alteration to the machine's tooling.
