Description
ANCHU BendTube 38CNC US — 38mm 3-Axis CNC Tube Bender
A compact, production-ready CNC pipe and tube bending machine engineered for light to medium-duty fabrication. Ideal for US job shops, OEMs, and contract manufacturers moving up from manual benders to automated, repeatable CNC processes.
Max tube OD: 38 mm (1.5") · Axes: 3-axis CNC · Power: 380–480 V 3-phase
Key advantages for US buyers
- Handles tube diameters up to 38 mm (1.5"), covering most furniture, handrail, and automotive aftermarket needs.
- 3-axis CNC (Y bending, B rotation, Z feeding) for precise, repeatable multi-radius bends.
- Hydraulic bending with servo-controlled positioning for consistent results and efficient cycle times.
- Quick tooling changeover supports high-mix, low-volume production and prototyping.
- Graphical touchscreen controller simplifies programming and reduces setup time for new operators.
- Compatible with common US shop power (380–480 V 3-phase) and can be adapted for single-phase 240 V with phase converters.

Capabilities & typical applications
This 38 mm CNC tube bender is a popular entry-to-production solution for shops automating their tube and pipe fabrication. It integrates well as a standalone forming cell or as part of a workflow with saws, laser cutters, or welding stations.
- Fabrication of furniture frames, handrails, and automotive aftermarket parts
- Production of brackets, supports, and general structural tube assemblies
- Prototyping and short-run jobs requiring quick setup and changeover
- Industries: metal fabrication, contract manufacturing, machinery, and OEM supply
- Supports high-mix/low-volume work and repeat production runs
Implementation & support for US shops
We support US fabricators with pre-installation guidance on power, floor space, and material flow. Our team can review your part drawings and tube specs to confirm fit and recommend optimal tooling and bend sequences.
Installation and basic training are included to get your team productive quickly. We regularly work with job shops and OEMs transitioning from manual to CNC tube bending, ensuring a smooth ramp-up and integration with your existing processes.
- Pre-installation review of power and shop layout
- Application support for part fit and process planning
- On-site or remote training for operators and programmers
Next step: Send us your sample part drawings or specs, and we’ll confirm fit, cycle time, and configuration for your application.
