CNC Tube Bending Machines — Griffin Series Hybrid

With over 30 years of tube bending expertise behind every machine we build, Dural has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted names in CNC bending technology. That depth of experience doesn’t just show up in the specs — it’s built into the design decisions, the material choices and the engineering details that manufacturers only discover after years on the shop floor. DuralBend CNC tube bending machines are built for manufacturers who need accuracy, speed and repeatability in every single bend. It doesn’t matter if you’re working with thin-walled tubing for automotive exhaust systems or thicker gauge pipe for industrial structures — our CNC tube bender range delivers consistent results across thousands of production cycles without dropping quality.

Why Choose a CNC Tube Bender?

If you’ve ever worked with manual or semi-automatic bending, you know the problem — human error creeps into every cycle. A CNC tube bending machine takes that variable out of the equation completely. Every bend is executed by servo-driven axes following pre-programmed coordinates, so the first piece and the ten thousandth piece come off the line looking exactly the same. When you’re running tight tolerances on complex multi-bend geometries, a CNC pipe bender isn’t really a luxury anymore — it’s more of a necessity.

Two CNC Platforms

DuralBend has two distinct CNC pipe bending machine platforms, and which one suits you depends on what your production actually requires. The Griffin Series is our hybrid platform, pairing servo positioning with hydraulic clamping force for medium and heavy wall work — that is the machine described on this page. The EOS Series is fully electric, running every axis on servo motors with no hydraulics at all, and is aimed at smaller diameter, high cycle-rate production.

Griffin Series — Hybrid CNC Pipe Bending Machines

The Griffin platform reflects decades of real-world bending experience — it combines servo motor precision on the positioning axes with hydraulic power for the auxiliary compression movements. This hybrid architecture is a deliberate engineering choice, not a compromise. Servo control gives you the repeatability and positioning accuracy that fully electric machines are known for, while the hydraulic system delivers the raw clamping force that heavier wall sections and larger diameters genuinely demand. Pure servo machines can struggle with high-tonnage clamping; pure hydraulic machines sacrifice positional accuracy. The Griffin eliminates that trade-off entirely. You get tight tolerances on every bend, reliable force where it’s needed, and a platform that’s been refined over more than three decades of production feedback from real manufacturing environments.

Intelligent Software, Effortless Operation

Every DuralBend CNC tube bending machine ships with ETU, our advanced CNC operator interface. Honestly, this is one of the things our customers comment on the most — it turns complex bending projects into simple visual workflows that anyone on your team can learn quickly.

3D STEP Import

You can load your tube design directly from a standard 3D STEP file exported by any major CAD system. The CNC pipe bending machine converts your model into bending coordinates automatically with a single keystroke. No manual data entry, no calculation errors, no headaches.

Bending Simulation

Before any material touches the die, the ETU interface runs a full simulation of your entire bending sequence. You can check clearances, spot potential collisions and optimise the bend order — all on screen, before you commit to production on the CNC tube bending machine. This saves a lot of material waste, especially on expensive alloy tubes.

Cartesian Coordinate Programming

You enter your bend data as X, Y, Z positions and the software calculates the feed length, bend angle and rotation values automatically. This reduces setup time on your CNC pipe bender dramatically and pretty much eliminates programming errors from the equation.

Built for Precision and Durability

All DuralBend CNC tube bending machines are built around heavy-duty frames with linear guide systems that minimise friction during feeding and rotation. The result is fast, accurate bending with less tool wear over time. Wiper die, ball mandrel and pressure die systems are standard — these ensure wrinkle-free high quality bends even on thin walled tubing, which is usually the trickiest to get right.

The inverter-controlled drive system optimises motor speed and torque for each individual bend, which extends component life while still delivering the precision you need. There’s also an energy saving mode that cuts power consumption during idle periods — it won’t affect your cycle times but it will show up on your electricity bill at the end of the month. The ergonomic loading height keeps operators comfortable across long shifts, and the clear on-screen error messages help your team diagnose and fix issues quickly so the CNC tube bending machine stays running.

Full Range of Capacity

The DuralBend CNC tube bender range covers tube diameters from Ø32 mm all the way up to Ø90 mm, and they’re available in 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis configurations. This range didn’t come together overnight — it was shaped by over 30 years of working directly with manufacturers across automotive, HVAC, furniture, aerospace and structural steel sectors, each with their own set of demands. So whether you need a compact CNC pipe bending machine for furniture tubing or a heavy duty CNC pipe bender for structural steel applications, there’s a DuralBend machine that’s been engineered specifically for that job — backed by the kind of accumulated know-how that only comes with decades in the field.

Every machine comes with a large touchscreen industrial computer, comprehensive tooling packages and full technical support from our engineering team based in Istanbul, Turkey.
