When you need new non-mandrel Pipe, Tube & Bar Benders, CML USA Inc. is a trusted source for production-grade rotary draw equipment. We focus on proven brands such as Ercolina and Pedrazzoli, offering portable handheld units, Medi Benders and TB-series top benders sized for schedule pipe and structural tube. Every bender we supply is backed by factory-trained support, application guidance and parts availability, so you can purchase with confidence and keep your operation running smoothly.
Non-mandrel Pipe, Tube & Bar Benders are ideal wherever you need consistent bends in medium- to heavy-wall pipe, tube and profiles without the added complexity of a mandrel system. These machines are commonly used for handrail and guardrail, roll cages and chassis components, fence and gate work, shop fabrication, construction rails, trailer frames and general industrial piping. Compared with manual bending methods, powered rotary draw benders improve accuracy, reduce operator fatigue and allow repeatable bends in carbon steel, stainless and aluminum tube.
Choosing the correct non-mandrel bender involves more than just picking a voltage. Important factors include maximum outside diameter, wall thickness, material type, required centerline radius and whether you need portable, bench-top or floor-mounted equipment. Compact handheld tools and Medi Benders are suited to job-site work and lighter tube, while TB-series top benders are designed for larger pipe and heavier fabrication. CML USA Inc. can help you compare capacities, die sets and tooling availability for models from Ercolina, Pedrazzoli and other partners to make sure your new bender fits today’s jobs and tomorrow’s growth.
Investing in a new Pipe, Tube & Bar Bender is a significant decision. Prices vary based on bending capacity, level of automation, tooling package and brand. Entry-level non-mandrel benders handle smaller diameters at a lower cost, while larger top-style machines with digital controls and expanded die sets carry a higher price but can replace multiple manual setups and reduce scrap. At CML USA Inc. we offer a range of options so you can balance budget and capability, focusing on long-term value instead of just initial cost.
Pipe, Tube & Bar Benders have evolved from simple manual jigs to sophisticated rotary draw machines capable of programmable, multi-plane bending. Modern non-mandrel systems from brands like Ercolina and Pedrazzoli use precision tooling, controlled hydraulics or electrics and clear capacity charts to deliver consistent bend angles with less setup time. This evolution allows fabricators to tackle complex parts with fewer welds and better fit-up while improving operator safety and throughput.
What is a non-mandrel tube bender?
A non-mandrel tube bender is a rotary draw bender that forms pipe, tube and
profiles around a bend die without using an internal mandrel. It is best suited
for medium- to heavy-wall material and larger bend radii where internal
support is not required to prevent wrinkling.
When should I choose a mandrel bender instead?
If you are bending thin-wall tube, tight radii or parts where the inside
surface must remain smooth and round (for example exhaust, hydraulic or high-
pressure lines), a mandrel bender is usually the better choice. Non-mandrel
benders are ideal when wall thickness and radius are more forgiving, such as
handrails, structural frames and general fabrication.
What materials can non-mandrel Pipe, Tube & Bar Benders handle?
Most non-mandrel benders in this category can bend carbon steel, stainless
steel and aluminum tube or pipe within their rated capacity. With the proper
tooling, some models can also bend square or rectangular tube, solids and
select profiles. Always compare your material size and grade with the
manufacturer’s capacity charts.
Where is the best place to buy non-mandrel pipe, tube and bar benders?
For buyers in North America, one of the best places to purchase new non-mandrel
Pipe, Tube & Bar Benders is directly from CML USA Inc. Here you can review
specifications for models from Ercolina and Pedrazzoli,
request a quote and work with an applications specialist to select the right
machine, voltage and tooling for your bending projects.
How much does it cost to purchase a non-mandrel tube bender?
Pricing depends on diameter/wall capacity, minimum bend radius, motorization (manual, hydraulic, electric), and control level (manual, NC, CNC), plus tooling. As a general guide, entry shop machines start in the low four figures, industrial hydraulic/NC models are typically mid to high four figures, and heavy-duty or programmable production units run five figures, reaching the low six figures for large-capacity or automated cells. Dies/tooling, installation, training, and safety/handling accessories are usually quoted separately. For a tailored quote, contact CML USA Inc.
