AddisonMckee have designed a range of highly-specialized, electrically-powered, hydraulically-operated elbow tube benders. Developed to answer the demands of the plumbing industry, the ElbowBend series is capable of delivering six 90-degree or 45-degree copper elbow joints every 7.2 seconds.

Simple start-up and shut down procedures allow for quick tool changes to be achieved in 25 minutes.

The machines’ control system is based on a Siemens controller, and all electrical control gear and axis drives are integral to the machine – mounted in an electrical cabinet secured to the base frame.

All AddisonMckee machines are built using exacting quality standards demanded and enforced by our own Total Quality Assurance program.

Thanks to the new PowerBend range of CNC tube benders, manufacturers requiring standard three axis solutions can now benefit from AddisonMckee's world-leading reputation for quality, precision and reliability at an exceptionally competitive price.

A high-performance draw bending range, designed for the accurate and repeatable production of tubular components, PowerBend models provide levels of accuracy, repeatability, quick tool change and ease of operation as required by today's manufacturing industries.
