THE RECENT EVOLUTION OF CNC TUBE BENDING AND FABRICATION EQUIPMENT TO NEW LEVELS OF PRODUCTIVITY, ACCURACY, REPEATABILITY, AND RELIABILITY HAVE MADE THESE MACHINES JUSTIFIABLE FOR SMALL JOB SHOPS AND SMALL TO MEDIUM PRODUCTION FABRICATION DEPARTMENTS. LARGER MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY USING CNC MACHINES SHOULD EVALUATE COMBINING TUBE BENDING WITH OTHER TUBE FABRICATION PROCESSES AND IMPLEMENTING INTEGRATED TUBE FABRICATING SYSTEMS. THIS PAPER PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR EQUIPMENT JUSTIFICATION AND SELECTION.
