What prompted us to start using pipe bender?

■Products Used
Pipe bender MB-42P

Pipe bender was introduced to improve work efficiency in the manufacture of handrails to be installed in coating plant facilities. Previously, curved sections of handrails were manufactured by welding elbows. However, the preparation and post-welding process took a lot of man-hours and was not easy to do, so pipe bending was adopted for handrail manufacturing. Kumai Corporation also handles equipment and has a lineup of large products in the factory. Kumai Corporation is involved in manufacturing equipment and has a lineup of large products in its factory, so the compactness of the product and the space it takes up were well-received.

As shown in the photo above, we can manufacture large products in a limited space,
Since large machinery is used, securing space is an issue.

Benefits of using a pipe bender

■ Usage
Bending of handrails for painting plant equipment
■ Benefits
Improved work efficiency and accuracy

The time required to manufacture one handrail has been reduced to approximately one-quarterIn addition, the productImprovements in accuracy and appearance are also a benefitThe handrails are finished by rust prevention and painting, but when the curves were made by welding, there were times when the painted areas were uneven. However, now we can do it with a pipe bender.The curves are created by bending, so there are no joints and the finish is beautiful.It seems that both ends are bent.The pipe is so precise that it stands upright on the ground without needing to be secured.He said, ``I'm sorry.''
The unit weighs just 59kg and is compact, so it can be stored away when not in use. The work location can also be changed flexibly.
Kumai Co., Ltd. is a company that continues to pursue high-quality manufacturing as a manufacturing company, while continuing to take on a variety of challenges that go beyond conventional boundaries. In addition to proactively adopting the latest technology and achieving precise design using 3D CAD and efficient operation through the introduction of process management tools, the company is also actively working on fascinating and interesting things such as regional revitalization projects such as the "Ayase Factory Open Factory" and the development of VR software (training software for companies).

We look forward to Kumai Co., Ltd.'s future as they continue to take on interesting challenges using cutting-edge technology, and we will continue to make suggestions and follow up so that we can assist them in their endeavors.
