Tools for pressing and bending are now essential for installing pipes for a wide range of applications
Pressing tools such as the electrically operated crimping tool allow fast and reliable connection of pipes and fittings, while bending devices such as pipe benders are used to shape and adjust pipes.
Pressing
The crimping process for connecting pipes has been in use for decades and is regarded as a fast, reliable assembly method.
The process can be used, for example, with copper pipes, steel pipes and composite pipes and provides a long-lasting connection.
The press fitting is pushed over the pipe end, which has previously been cleanly cut square and deburred, in accordance with specifications.
➔ In the case of multi-layer composite piping, deburring and calibration of the pipe may also be necessary, which can be done quickly with a special tool.

The pressing process can then start: |
1. Fit pressing machine with the pressing jaws |

Bending
If pipes have to be adapted and bent, pipe benders are useful and make the work easier.
With these bending devices, it is possible to bend pipes made of different materials without damage or kinks in the pipe in question.
Depending on the material properties and pipe diameter, various designs of pipe bending devices are available:

Depending on the material properties and pipe diameter, various designs of pipe bending devices are available:
• compact pipe crimping devices
• hydraulic bending devices • electric pipe bending machines |

➔ Electric pipe bending machines make bending pipes significantly easier. With exchangeable bending elements and slide pieces, the machine can be adjusted to numerous different pipe diameters.
Remember:
✓ only insert the correct shape of pressing jaws into the pressing machine ✓ various types of pressing jaws are available, each of which has a specific pressing profile ✓ not all contours can be used with all types of fittings |
