Horn Machine Tools offers the 2010 Elite Series of tube bending machines with capacities ranging from 1 1/4 to 10 inches. Designed for tube bending in automotive, aviation, HVAC, boiler, shipyard, and general fabrication applications, the Elite Series offers a 50 percent reduction in setup time, user-friendly features, extended service intervals, and faster bending speeds. The benders are lowered to a comfortable load height of 36 inches from the floor to the center of the tube (based on a 5-inch bender), although taller machines are available as an option if greater floor clearance is desired. The machines feature a new direct acting swing arm design that reduces clamping deflection, puts clamp force on the center of the tube, eliminates wear parts, pins, links, plates, and doesn’t require a jack screw to adjust tool pressure. A direct acting clamp and PD, along with a new upright PDA design, makes it easy to remove and position tooling, often without tool. For more information visit www.HornMachineTools.com.
