Re: cnc tube bender(more)

Forgot this part...

One machine I saw had 2 wheels of different size on a common bend
axis.(one above the other, with two clamp shoes to match. A 4th axis
raised and owered this assembly to choose either of the two wheels,
and thus the BASE radius. Again, larger radius's are possible by
using linear segments.

Hope this helps,

P.S. In a catalog that was sent after the show (Westec) I saw one
with 3 wheels and shoes...
