The induction advantage

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.
