What Is the TYA 325D-14T Induction Pipe Bending Machine?
The TYA 325D-14T is an industrial induction pipe bending machine designed to bend pipe up to 325mm (12.75″) OD with wall thickness up to 14mm. It uses a concentrated electromagnetic induction coil to heat a narrow band of pipe to forming temperature — typically between 1,650°F and 2,100°F (900°C–1,150°C) — while mechanically bending it to a precise radius using a controlled push speed and swing arm.
Unlike cold bending methods such as rotary draw or roll bending, hot induction bending produces large-diameter, heavy-wall bends with minimal wall thinning, ovality, or distortion. The result is a structurally sound, dimensionally accurate bend that meets the stringent mechanical and code requirements of high-pressure pipeline systems used in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial construction.

How the Hot Induction Pipe Bending Process Works
Pipe Setup and Alignment
The pipe is loaded onto the machine bed and aligned with the induction heating coil. The bend radius arm is preset to the required geometry based on the project drawing and specification.
IndInuction Coil Heating - 1,650°F to 2,100°F
The induction coil rapidly heats a narrow 1"–2" band of the pipe wall to the precise forming temperature. Only the zone being bent is heated — the rest of the pipe remains at ambient temperature, preserving its mechanical properties.
Controlled Push and Bend
As the pipe is fed through the induction coil at a precisely controlled push speed, the mechanical swing arm guides the heated section into the required bend radius and angle. CNC control ensures consistent geometry across every bend.
Immediate Water Quench Cooling
Immediately after forming, water quench sprays cool the bent section — locking in the bend geometry and initiating the required metallurgical transformation for the material grade.
Bend Completion and Output
Once the bend is formed and the section cooled, the machine resets automatically for the next bend cycle. The CNC control system logs each bend parameter — push speed, temperature, radius, and angle — enabling full process repeatability and production traceability.
Induction Pipe Bending Machine vs Cold Bending Equipment — Key Differences
| Factor | Induction Pipe Bending Machine | Cold Bending Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Max pipe diameter (OD) | Up to 48" — large diameter capable | Typically limited to under 12" OD |
| Wall thickness handling | Heavy wall up to 4" — no tooling change | Limited by mandrel and die set capacity |
| Bend radius flexibility | 2.5D to 10D — set via CNC, no die change | Fixed by die set — limited range per tooling |
| Bending angle | 0° to 180° continuous | Typically fixed increments per die |
| Tooling changeover | Minimal — radius arm adjustment only | Full die set swap required per size |
| Production speed | High — continuous push feed | Slower — clamp, bend, unclamp cycle |
| Material distortion | Minimal wall thinning and ovality | Higher ovality risk on large OD pipe |
| Best suited for | Large-diameter, heavy-wall industrial pipe | Small-bore, light-wall tubing and pipe |

FAQ Of Customer
The TYA 325D-14T is designed for pipe up to 325mm (12.75") OD with wall thickness up to 14mm. The model name directly reflects these specifications — 325D for 325mm diameter and 14T for 14mm wall thickness. For pipe sizes or wall thicknesses outside these parameters, TYA offers custom machine configurations on request.
The machine uses a PLC/CNC control system with a touchscreen HMI. Operators can program and store bend sequences including push speed, heating temperature, bend angle, and radius. The system logs all parameters per bend cycle for production traceability.
The induction pipe bending machine is compatible with carbon steel, alloy steel (including chrome-moly grades P5, P9, P11, P22, P91), stainless steel (304, 316, 321, 347), duplex stainless (2205, 2507), and low-temperature carbon steel grades. Material compatibility is determined by the machine's heating frequency and temperature range.
The machine produces bend radii from 2.5D to 10D. Custom radii outside this range are achievable with custom radius arm tooling. Bend angle capability is 0° to 180° continuous, programmable via the CNC control system.
An induction pipe bending machine heats a narrow band of pipe to forming temperature using an electromagnetic induction coil before bending, allowing large-diameter, heavy-wall pipe to be bent with minimal distortion. Cold bending equipment applies force at ambient temperature and is generally limited to smaller diameters and lighter wall thicknesses.
Yes. TYA supplies induction pipe bending machines in fixed installation and portable configurations depending on the facility requirements. Fixed machines are suited for high-volume fabrication shops while portable configurations are available for on-site or field fabrication applications.
The machine is available in medium frequency and high frequency induction heating configurations. Medium frequency is standard for large-diameter, heavy-wall pipe. High frequency configurations are suited for thinner wall and smaller diameter pipe. TYA's engineering team recommends the correct frequency based on your pipe size range.
The machine operates on three-phase power supply, 50/60 Hz, sized to the machine's induction heating power rating. TYA provides full electrical specifications with each machine order for facility planning and installation.
