Replacing Your Bending

Components

07  |  MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The Bend Head, Bend Ring, Feed Wheels, and Wire Guides are all in constant contact with 

the wire and they will wear out over time. But don’t worry, replacing them is a straight forward 

process. Follow the steps in this section and you’ll be ready to continue bending in no time!

The Bend Head, Bend Ring and Wire Guides also need to be changed if you are reconfiguring 

your machine for a different wire size. Just follow the same process as for replacing the bending 

cmoponents but use your desired size configuration instead of a replacement kit.

Note:

 

If your components wore out but you don’t have replacement parts, send us an email to 

[email protected]

 to purchase a replacement kit.
