Problem
Electricians often face challenges in accurately and efficiently bending metal conduits on-site, leading to increased labor costs, material waste, and potential safety hazards due to manual bending methods. Current solutions lack the portability and automation needed for precise, on-the-spot adjustments and installations.
Solution
Tubender provides portable CNC tube-bending machines that enable electricians to bend conduit on-site with enhanced precision and speed. The automatic machines reduce on-site bending time and material waste, while also improving safety. The machines utilize CNC software control to produce bends in a single operation, using familiar terms such as offsets, stub-90s, and saddles.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes electrical contractors working on large-scale projects, such as data centers, who seek to reduce labor costs and material waste associated with conduit bending.
Features
- Portable design fits in a standard pickup truck for easy transport around job sites.
- CNC software control automates the bending process, producing multiple bends in one go.
- Uses familiar electrical bending terms such as offsets, stub-90s, and saddles.
- Bends standard conduit lengths of 10+ feet despite the machine's compact 5-foot length.
- Integrated safety systems ensure safe operation for electricians.
