Bending, rolling and Van der Hoorn, a unique combination for over 90 years

Van der Hoorn Buigtechniek has been a reliable supply partner for bent and rolled pipes since as early as 1936. Every day, we provide our clients with bent and rolled pipes for a variety of applications.

We produce everything from single products for prototyping to medium-sized series. Together, we always try and find the best solution at the most affordable price. We can offer you advice based on a sketch, plan or (3D) model.

CNC Mandrel Bending

Tube bending and van der Hoorn have been inseparably connected for over 90 years.

Today, we operate a machine park with 9 CNC-controlled mandrel bending machines.

Our bending machines cover tube diameters ranging from Ø0.35 mm to Ø76.1 mm. Our machines range from “standard” CNC-controlled bending machines to machines capable of free-form bending.

Thanks to the technical versatility of our machine park and the large number of machines available, we can achieve short lead times and always select the most suitable machine for your product.

CNC Rolling

Rolling is the process of forming a tube (or profile) into a curved shape (or even a complete circle) using three rolling dies. By adjusting the geometry of the rollers (fully CNC-controlled), the radius of the tube leaving the machine is changed.

The advantage is that virtually any required radius can be produced (provided the material allows it). If the required radius is too small for rolling, we switch to CNC bending. Another advantage of tube rolling is that it is suitable not only for round tubes, but also for (rectangular) box sections, flat bars, and many other profile shapes.

Van der Hoorn has access to 2 CNC profile rollers.

Thanks to the modern CNC controls of these machines, they offer far more options than just rolling a single radius into a pipe. For example, we can let two different radii flow into one another (for elliptical shapes, for instance), and we can 3D roll pipes (for the bannisters of spiral staircases, for example). Like bending, we can roll pipes with a maximum diameter of ø76.1 mm. Do you have any other shapes or profiles? Feel free to ask us about the options!

Quality

“Bending a tube is one thing; measuring it is something entirely different.”

That is why we recently invested in a state-of-the-art measuring system from Hexagon. This enables us to measure products directly using your 3D file (.IGS or .STP) and, if required, provide a detailed measurement report.

With more than 90 years of experience, we have built extensive expertise in tube bending. As a third-generation family business, quality is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud of our experienced team, which, together with our advanced machinery, delivers a wide variety of high-quality projects every day. In addition, van der Hoorn Buigtechniek is ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Frequently Asked Questions

We CNC mandrel bend tubes with diameters ranging from Ø0.35 mm to Ø76.1 mm. Thanks to our modern machinery, we can produce both simple and complex bending geometries.

CNC mandrel bending is ideal for precise bends with a fixed radius, while CNC roll bending gradually forms tubes and profiles into large-radius bends or complete circles. Depending on your application, we recommend the most suitable bending technique.

Yes. We manufacture everything from prototype parts to medium-sized production runs. Together with you, we always look for the most cost-effective solution.

Yes. Using our Hexagon measuring system, we can measure products directly from STP or IGS files. If required, we provide a detailed measurement report.
