Marion Die & Fixture Bender: Precision Forming for Drainage Tubing End Sections

When it comes to producing high-quality drainage tubing components, precision and efficiency are essential. The Marion Die & Fixture Bender is designed to form accurate 90-degree flanges on drainage tubing end sections while maintaining the integrity of the material throughout the bending process.

The Marion Die & Fixture Bender accommodates a wide range of production requirements with adjustable tooling and machine settings.

• Flange lengths: 12 inches to 48 inches
• Flange heights: 3 inches to 6 inches

Flange height is quickly adjusted using an adjustable backstop located at the rear of the machine, while flange length is configured by positioning the segmented upper and lower tooling to the desired size. This flexibility allows manufacturers to efficiently produce a variety of part configurations without extensive setup time.

The forming process is designed to be simple and repeatable.

The operator places a flat blank into the machine and presses the foot pedal to begin the cycle. A hydraulically driven ram then moves downward to form the flange. Once the bend is complete, the ram automatically returns to its uppermost position, allowing the finished part to be removed and the next blank to be loaded quickly.

One of the key advantages of the Marion Die & Fixture Bender is its use of Ready-Bender rotary tooling in the lower tooling assembly to create a precise 90-degree bend.

Unlike a traditional press brake, where the larger section of the workpiece can deform or bend during forming, the rotary tooling design keeps the blank flat throughout the process. This results in:

• Improved part quality

• Greater dimensional accuracy
• Reduced material distortion
• More consistent finished components

By combining adjustable tooling, hydraulic operation, and advanced rotary bending technology, the Marion Die & Fixture Bender provides manufacturers with a dependable solution for producing drainage tubing end sections efficiently, accurately, and safer than a traditional press brake.

Whether producing short or long flanges, the machine delivers repeatable 90-degree bends while preserving the flatness of the workpiece—helping manufacturers achieve higher-quality parts with improved production efficiency.
