Albina Co., Inc. has purchased a 50 mm horn CNC machine. This machine is a CNC bender with dual stack tooling 50 mm or 2.0" OD capacity. Features include an electric C-Axis with planetary gearing and a direct drive bend arm (no chains or belts) which allows .01 degree of accuracy. It is a high production tube and pipe bender and a great addition to our suite of bending machines.

Albina Co, Inc. recently rolled 1½" solid square to 8" ID with a 75° pitch around a piece of pipe for Fogle Pump & Supply.   They were so pleased with the work that we did, here is what they had to say:   "Just a quick note to say Thank You for your help and fortitude to get this job finished. The fins are tacked into place and things are perfect. Great Job. Please pat your bender on the back also. You guys did a wonderful job. " Fogle Pump & Supply
