Product Description
The GY18NC-7 tube roll bending machine is designed for small carbon steel tubes up to 18 mm outer diameter and 2 mm wall thickness. Its seven drive rollers provide strong clamping for thin-walled materials, while the asymmetrical side roller design reduces the straight sections at both tube ends.
With adjustable pressure rollers, the machine can form circles, large arcs, and spirals. Equipped with matching grooves for round tubes and selected metal profiles, this compact 300 kg tube rolling machine is ideal for workshops needing precise ring forming without the footprint of a large profile bending machine.
Compare the GY18NC-7 with our complete tube rolling machine range to find the right model for your application. For tube diameters above 18 mm, consider the higher-capacity GY40NC pipe rolling machine.
GY18NC-7 Tube Roller Bender Model
GY18NC-7 Seven-Roller Tube Bender
Processes 18 x 2 mm carbon steel pipe with seven driven rollers, a 60 mm mold, and 200 mm/s listed speed.
Custom-Groove GY18NC-7
Uses a groove designed around your round tube or profile section; final tooling follows your material drawing and target radius.
Features of GY18NC-7 Tube Roller Bender
Seven-Roller Drive
Seven driven rollers maintain contact with thin-wall tube through the rolling path.
Shorter Straight Ends
Asymmetric side rollers reduce the unused straight section near each tube end.
Two-Way Feeding
Your operator can feed the workpiece from either side of the roller head.
Compact Machine Body
The 1,150 x 1,000 x 960 mm body saves production floor space.
Roll Thin-Wall Tube with Control
Thin-wall tube can slip when the machine lacks enough driven contact. The GY18NC-7 tube roller bender uses seven driven rollers to carry the workpiece through the tooling.
This layout gives your operator more contact points while forming 18 x 2 mm carbon steel pipe. Send your material grade and desired circle diameter so Zhuoran can confirm the groove and rolling setup before production.
Change Radius Without Oversized Dies
The GY18NC-7 small pipe rolling machine forms large-radius parts through repeated rolling rather than a single tight bend. Your operator changes the pressing position to produce different circles, arcs, or spirals.
The supplied specification lists a minimum radius of R >= 10D. Final feasibility still depends on tube material, wall thickness, section geometry, and the surface condition required on the finished part.
Match Tooling to Your Section
Round pipe is one possible workpiece. Zhuoran can change the mold groove for angle, flat bar, round sections, or other profiles described in the supplied product file. Each section needs contact surfaces that support it without unwanted rotation.
Share a dimensioned profile drawing with your inquiry. The engineering team can then match the GY18NC-7 tube roller bender and groove to the part.
Applications
Small Circular Frames
Use the GY18NC-7 tube roller bender for small circular frames made from tube within the verified 18 x 2 mm carbon steel capacity. Seven driven rollers move the workpiece through the groove while your operator sets the curvature. Include the finished diameter and acceptable straight-end length in your drawing so Zhuoran can review the complete ring-forming requirement.
Broad Tube Arcs
The machine complements a rotary-draw bender when your part needs a broad, continuous arc rather than a short elbow. The rolling process builds curvature across the tube length. For model selection, provide the arc radius, arc length, tube OD, wall thickness, and material. Zhuoran will check those values against the GY18NC-7 small pipe rolling machine.
Spiral Tube Sections
The supplied machine description includes spiral forming among the supported shapes. The GY18NC-7 feeds the tube through adjustable rollers to build the required curvature over successive passes. Spiral work also needs pitch, outside diameter, total turns, and feed direction. Add these values to your RFQ so Zhuoran can assess the tooling and process before manufacture.
Use our sample service to check material flow, surface condition, and straight-end length before final tooling approval.

What pipe size can the GY18NC-7 roll?
Maximum capacity: Ø18 × 2 mm carbon steel tube. Capacity varies by material. Send your material, OD, wall thickness, and bending radius for confirmation.
What is the minimum bending radius?
Minimum radius: R ≥ 10D. For an 18 mm tube, the minimum centerline radius is about 180 mm. Actual results depend on the material and tube specifications.
Can it roll thin-wall tube?
Yes. The 7-drive-roller design helps reduce slipping and supports thin-wall tubes. For best results, provide the material, wall thickness, and finish requirements.
Can it roll profiles besides round tube?
Yes. It can roll round tube, flat bar, angle steel, and other profiles with the correct roller dies. Send your profile drawing and radius for confirmation.
Can it make a complete circle?
Yes. It can roll circles, arcs, and spirals. Some straight ends remain after rolling and are usually trimmed if a full ring is required.
