Description
The UNI 60 bending machine family is a powerful and compact range of mobile pipe and tube bending machines designed for professional workshop use, installation work and industrial applications. Built for accurate bending of medium to large pipe diameters, the UNI 60 series combines a robust aluminium body, strong electric drive technology and precise bending angle control to achieve constant bending radii and clean bending results.
The UNI 60 family is especially suitable for users who need a reliable bending machine for demanding materials and larger tube dimensions while maintaining high bending accuracy. It can be used for hard and soft copper pipes, annealed brass pipes, steel pipes for electrical installations, stainless steel pipes, hydraulic steel tubes, furniture tubes, boiler tubes, aluminium pipes, gas pipes and double-coated aluminium pipes. Depending on the material and wall thickness, the machine enables precise bending without the need for a mandrel in many standard applications.
The UNI 60 electric version is a strong single-phase electric pipe bending machine for professional daily use. It is equipped with an asynchronous 1.30 HP motor, low-voltage electronic control, bending angle regulation, electrobrake and automatic return at the end of the bending stroke. This version is ideal for users who need powerful, repeatable and efficient bending performance with a straightforward electric control system.

Bending Capacity
The bending capacity for the UNI 42 familiy depends on the combination of the pipe's material, outside diameter and wall thickness. Softer materials and smaller diameters can usually be bent using less machine force, whereas high-strength steels, larger diameters and thicker walls require more robust tooling and higher torque. The achievable bending result also depends on the bending radius, the quality of the pipe and the use of suitable bending formers, counter rollers or mandrels. Therefore, capacity values should always be checked against the exact material grade, pipe size, and required bend geometry.
The maximal bending angle is 180°.
The standard bending radii are 3D and 4D.
Hard and Soft Copper Pipes, Annealed Brass Pipes
Hard and Soft Copper Pipes or Annealed Brass Pipes are especially suitable for bending applications because their soft, ductile material structure allows clean forming with reduced risk of cracking. Compared with harder pipe materials, annealed copper can usually be bent with lower force and tighter radii, depending on the pipe diameter, wall thickness and tooling used. For best results, the bending former should match the pipe size precisely to prevent flattening, wrinkling or deformation of the pipe cross-section. The actual bending capacity always depends on the specific copper grade, pipe dimensions and required bend geometry.

Steel pipes for electrical installations
Steel pipes for electrical installations are commonly used where cables and wiring require strong mechanical protection. Due to their higher strength compared with softer pipe materials, they usually require greater bending force and accurately matched tooling to achieve clean, consistent bends. The bending result depends on the outside diameter, wall thickness, steel grade and protective surface finish, such as galvanising or coating. Properly selected bending formers help prevent flattening, kinking or damage to the pipe surface, ensuring that the conduit remains suitable for safe and reliable cable routing.

Stainless Steel AISI 304/316 Pipes
Stainless steel AISI 304 and 316 pipes are used where high corrosion resistance, durability and a clean surface finish are required. Due to their strength and work-hardening behaviour, these materials place higher demands on the bending machine, tooling and bending process than softer metals. The achievable bending capacity depends on the outside diameter, wall thickness, material grade and required bending radius. Precisely matched bending formers and suitable counter supports are essential to reduce ovalisation, surface marking and deformation, especially when tight radii or visible-quality bends are required.

The achievable bending capacity depends on the aluminium grade, outside diameter, wall thickness and required bend geometry. Precisely matched bending formers and careful process setup help maintain the pipe shape and produce smooth, consistent bends.

Aluminium is generally lightweight and formable, but the achievable bending result depends strongly on the pipe diameter, wall thickness, coating structure and bending radius. Suitable bending formers and clean tooling are especially important to avoid surface marks, coating damage, ovalisation or wrinkles. For reliable results, the bending capacity should always be checked according to the exact pipe dimensions, aluminium grade, coating type and required bend geometry.
