About Thoman Biegemaschinen
Thoman Biegemaschinen GmbH, based in Breisach-Oberrimsingen, develops and manufactures machines, processes and tools for bending tubes and profiles made of steel and aluminium. The product range includes CNC and NC-controlled tube bending machines of the FK series, profile bending machines (3-roll) of the RB series with variably adjustable axis distance, and the universal bending machine MultiBend for roll bending, press bending, straightening and edge folding. As the only German manufacturer, the company offers all major bending processes from a single source. Its value chain includes a technical center with bending trials, the development and testing of custom bending tools, an in-house bending department for contract work and sample production, as well as the company's own control software CNC-S. Options include 3D bending, helix and spiral bending, mandrel bending devices, and the fully automatic radius measurement system R-Control. Fields of application include conveying technology, facade, door and window construction, plant and mechanical engineering, metal construction, commercial vehicles, bus and rail, as well as canopies. Sales are handled through partners, among others in Europe, the USA and China; the website is available in 13 languages.

Materials and Processes
Steel
Material for tube bending machines of the FK series, e.g. round tubes up to 60 × 4.0 mm.
Aluminium
Material for profile and tube bending parts with low deformation thanks to variable axis distance.
Roll bending (profile bending)
3-roll profile bending machines of the RB type with individually driven rolls and adjustable axis distance.
Mandrel bending (tube bending)
Semi- and fully automatic tube bending machines of the FK type for single-part and series production.
Press bending and edge folding
With the universal bending machine MultiBend for simple bending tasks in metal construction.
3D bending
CNC-controlled support rolls or controlled rotary axis for three-dimensional contours.
Helix and spiral bending
Manufacturing of spindle handrails and heat exchanger coils with mechanical, hydraulic or CNC-controlled devices.
Mandrel bending device (passive/active with boost)
Internal support of hollow chamber profiles instead of elaborate filling of the profiles.
