Pipe Tools: RIDGID 600 Series Instrument Tubing Bender
The latest member of the RIDGID stainless steel product family, the 600 Series Benders are capable of bending tubes 3/16" to 1/2" in diameter with bend radiuses ranging from 5/8" to 38 mm. It offers a two-stage handle system to allow bends from 90-180 degrees without ever crossing handles, keeping bends in-plane and accurate.
Product features include clearly visible gain marks to ensure properly aligned bending angles, extra-long handles for increased leverage, a vise clamp block that provides extra stability and cushioned handle grips for improved bending ease, and roll dies in the product’s heavy-duty bending carriage reduce tube flattening (ovality).
These combined features provide for ease of operation, as well as up to a 60 percent force savings compared to traditional benders.
The 600 Series Benders are ideal for the chemical/petrochemical, oil and gas, food/beverage processing, power, process instrumentation, pulp and paper, semiconductor, shipbuilding and aircraft industries.
