Features of Wired Ball Mandrel.
- Is especially used when the id of the pipe is very small(less than 20 mm) and the wall thickness is also very less(.2 to .4)
- Image shows is a picture of wired ball mandrel to be used on a pipe bending machine is in disassembled condition for the same purpose, to bend 16 mm pipe
- The reason why this wire mandrel is used is that link mandrel for such small diameter does not give a good life and breaks often.
- This gives a smooth outer surface( ie. a clean bending area at the outer side of the bend). attaching a picture of the assembled mandrel as well
