Indian Customer Visits BLMA Factory to Inspect CNC Pipe Bending Machines

BLMA Machinery proudly welcomed an esteemed customer from India to its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ma'anshan, China. The purpose of the visit was to inspect several models of BLMA’s fully automatic and semi-automatic CNC pipe bending machines, observe their performance firsthand, and conduct trial bending operations using customer-provided workpieces.

This visit was more than just a technical inspection—it was a milestone in fostering trust, transparency, and international cooperation in the field of high-precision metal forming equipment.

Warm Welcome and Guided Factory Tour

The Indian customer was greeted by BLMA’s international sales and technical teams, who provided a warm welcome and an introduction to the company’s production capabilities. A guided tour followed, covering every aspect of the manufacturing process—from raw material preparation and welding to CNC machining, assembly, and final quality inspection.

The guest expressed strong interest in BLMA’s strict quality control standards, including precision machining of machine frames using large gantry milling centers, 100% electrical and hydraulic testing, and the in-house development of software for bending programs and axis synchronization.

The tour also included demonstrations of several models across BLMA’s product range:

• 50CNC-9A-MSV fully electric CNC pipe bending machine

• 38CNC pipe bending machine with push bending function

• Multi-stack tool systems for square and oval tubing

• Automatic loading and unloading configurations for production lines

Each model showcased different configurations, from basic 2-axis NC machines to complex multi-axis servo-controlled CNC systems designed for high-precision applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, furniture, and shipbuilding.

Real-Time Bending Trials with Customer Samples

The highlight of the visit was the hands-on testing session. The Indian customer brought multiple pipe samples with different materials (mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy) and dimensions ranging from Ø16 mm to Ø50 mm.

BLMA’s engineers quickly loaded the pipe parameters into the control system, set up the appropriate bending dies, and executed trial bends under real production conditions. Key aspects of the machine’s performance were evaluated:

• Bend accuracy and consistency: The Indian customer was especially impressed with how the fully electric 50CNC-9A-MSV machine achieved precise bend angles (within ±0.1°) and minimized ovality and wall thinning.

• Repeatability: Even after dozens of cycles, the bend geometry remained consistent with minimal deviation—thanks to the servo-driven multi-axis control system and real-time position feedback.

• User interface and programming: The customer appreciated the intuitive touchscreen interface, visual 3D simulation, and ease of importing and storing bending programs.

• Speed and efficiency: The machine’s rapid cycle time, automatic mandrel retraction, and fast collet movement demonstrated the production advantages of BLMA’s CNC pipe benders.

“The bending precision is excellent,” said the Indian customer after inspecting the trial pieces. “We are particularly impressed with how little deformation there is, even with tight-radius bends and thin-walled tubes. This level of control is what we’ve been looking for.”

In-Depth Discussion and Project Planning

After the trial session, the customer met with BLMA’s sales director and engineering team to discuss future projects. Specific focus areas included:

• Upgrading existing NC machines to CNC with servo control

• Integrating automatic loading and unloading systems

• Customizing tooling for new products in development

• Exploring possibilities for exclusive agency cooperation in certain Indian regions

“We’re not just buying a machine—we’re looking for a long-term technology partner,” the customer explained. “BLMA’s flexibility in customization and quick response time are exactly what we need to compete in the Indian market.”

The BLMA team shared additional success stories from Indian clients in sectors such as:

• Two-wheeler and three-wheeler exhaust system production

• Gym and fitness equipment manufacturers

• Hydraulic fitting and pipeline assembly plants

• Stainless steel handrail and railing producers

These examples provided valuable reassurance and proof that BLMA machines are already performing successfully under Indian production conditions.

Strengthening Long-Term Cooperation

The factory visit concluded with a small ceremony where both parties exchanged gifts and souvenirs. The Indian customer confirmed interest in placing an initial order for two machines, followed by potential repeat orders after the first phase of production proves successful.

They also expressed willingness to serve as a local reference point for other Indian companies interested in BLMA’s solutions.

As a gesture of goodwill, BLMA offered:

• Lifetime free programming support

• One-year full warranty

• Free tooling set for the first machine

• Remote installation guidance and training materials

“BLMA’s commitment to quality, openness to customer feedback, and technical expertise make them a valuable partner. We look forward to working together,” the customer concluded.
