We offer a diverse selection of electric and hydraulic tube benders, designed to meet the demands of various applications, from precision hand-operated units to heavy-duty hydraulic machines. Our range includes the latest mandrel tube bending technology from world-leading manufacturers such as CSM, ensuring high-quality, cost-effective solutions for bending stainless steel, aluminium, copper, thin-wall steel, and more.

Tried and Tested

Our range of Tube Benders have all been put to the test in UK production environments, our machines deliver precision and reliability, making them the trusted choice for some of the biggest names in metal tube fabrication.

Choose the Right Tube Bender for Your Needs

We offer two main types of tube bending machines to suit different applications. Click on the links to learn more about each option, or contact us if you have any questions.

Electric Tube Benders – High-precision, versatile, and repeatable bending solutions for a variety of applications. We stock CBC tube benders, including the UNI60 and UNI70 models, which can be equipped with mandrel bending attachments for achieving tighter, thinner bends with superior accuracy. Available in 110V to 415V configurations.

Hydraulic Tube Benders – Designed for heavy-duty bending of steel, stainless steel, and other metals. Our range includes both hand-operated and motorised options, offering precision and power for thicker and tougher materials.

Bow Top Railings - Our dedicated Bow Top Railing machine is perfect for creating the hoops for a bow top railing.

CBC and Curvassi Tube Benders are a great cost-effective alternative to the popular Ercolina models

Understanding the Difference Between Pipe and Tube for Bending Applications

When it comes to tube bending and pipe bending, understanding the differences between the two is essential for selecting the right tube bending machine, tooling, and attachments for your application.

Pipes are primarily used for transporting liquids and gases, such as water, oil, and hydraulic fluids, often under high pressure and extreme temperatures. They are manufactured with a thicker wall and are measured by Nominal Bore (NB), which refers to the approximate internal diameter. Due to their functional purpose in plumbing, industrial processing, and engineering applications, pipes tend to have a dull, rough finish. Bending pipes requires robust hydraulic tube benders or mandrel bending machines to prevent distortion and maintain internal flow characteristics.

Tubes, on the other hand, are commonly used in structural, architectural, and design applications, such as furniture fabrication, automotive roll cages, and handrails. They have a thinner wall compared to pipes and are measured by Outside Diameter (OD) for precision. Tubes often feature a smooth, polished finish, making them ideal for applications requiring a high level of aesthetic quality. When bending tubes, especially thinner-walled variants, selecting the correct tube bending tooling, such as mandrel attachments, wiper dies, and clamp blocks, is crucial for achieving accurate, repeatable bends without deformation.

At Selmach Machinery, we provide a wide range of hydraulic and electric tube benders, alongside a full selection of tube bending attachments and tooling options to suit various materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and mild steel. Whether you require precision bends for manufacturing, construction, or metal fabrication, our CBC and Curvassi tube bending machines ensure high-quality results, trusted by professionals across the UK.

Essential Tube Bending Tooling and Accessories

To achieve precise, high-quality bends in tube and pipe fabrication, having the right tube bending tooling and accessories is just as important as selecting the correct tube bender. Whether you're working with electric tube benders, hydraulic tube benders, or mandrel bending machines, additional tooling and attachments are essential to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency.

One of the most crucial components in any tube bending setup is the former (die set), which determines the bend radius and ensures smooth, controlled bends. Different former sizes are available to accommodate various tube diameters and materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and mild steel.

At Selmach Machinery, we provide a comprehensive range of tube bending tools and accessories, ensuring you have everything needed to optimise your tube or pipe bending process. Whether you require additional tooling for CBC and Curvassi tube benders, or general tube fabrication, our high-quality solutions help you achieve precision and reliability in every bend.
