Sanco #SB-38 CNC-DR-E-R IPC, double stack bender, fully automatic, hydraulic clamping, 2017

General Machine Type
Fully automatic CNC tube bender (multi-axis)
Double-radius (DR) / double-stack capable
Electric bending + servo-controlled axes
Hydraulic clamping & mandrel systems
Industrial PC (IPC) control with 3D simulation
Designed for 3D complex bends with automatic YBC or XYZ programming
Capacity & Work Range
Max tube capacity:
38 mm x 3 mm wall
Material types:
Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, copper
Min bend radius: ~1×OD (with tooling)
Max bend angle: 190
Axis / Motion System
Typical configuration (servo driven):
Y-axis (feed): servo
B-axis (rotation): servo
C-axis (bend): servo/electric
Clamp / pressure die / mandrel: hydraulic or pneumatic assist
This is what gives it full CNC 3-axis (or more with options) capability.
Speeds & Accuracy
Bending speed: ~160/sec
Feeding speed: ~1000 mm/sec
Rotation speed: ~210/sec
Precision:
Bend accuracy: 0.05
Feed accuracy: 0.05 mm
Rotation accuracy: 0.05
This is tight tolerance for a mid-tier CNC bendercomparable to entry-level SOCO class machines.
Mandrel & Tooling
Standard mandrel length: ~2100 mm
Double-stack tooling:
Allows two radii in one setup (DR)
Standard tooling includes:
Clamp die
Pressure die
Wiper die
Mandrel
Bend die
Reclamp function: enables long part bending beyond carriage length
' Control System (IPC Version)
Industrial PC (Windows-based)
3D simulation + 3D visualization
CAD file import capability
YBC / XYZ input
Remote diagnostics capability
This is the key upgrade vs. standard PLC machines.
Double Stack / DR Features
Two radii available without tool change
Optional:
Multi-radius (MR)
Roll bending
Push bending (R function)
Hole punching / cutting integration
Standard Features
Automatic lubrication system (mandrel & head)
Separate hydraulic oil tank with filtration
Pneumatic clamp & mandrel movement (fast cycle)
Cooling options (oil / air / water)
Safety light or guarding options
Electrical / Build
Mix of Japanese / European electrical & hydraulic components
Taiwan-based bending technology platform
CE / ISO compliant
Straight Take (What Matters)
38mm capacity = small-to-mid tube work (automotive, furniture, HVAC, handrails)
DR + IPC = big jump in capability vs basic CNC
Speed is high, accuracy is solid for its class
Not a premium brand, but very capable production machine
If you want, I can:
Compare it directly to SOCO / BLM / Eaton Leonard
Or tell you what it should actually produce per hour depending on part type (thats where real value is)
