Pneumatic Mandrels are used to ensure a smooth bending, maintaining the diameter and roundness of the pipe.
Pneumatic mandrels can be powered by a compressor on the Bending Machine or by a separate compressor.
The Bending Machine operator controls the Mandrel. Travel wheels raise from the pipe wall when the Mandrel is expanded. Normally Bending Mandrels cover a certain range of diameters. Based on the received pipe specification, Maats can adjust the mandrel to the correct wall thickness.
