The BB-2 does not. Its bending controls are manual, and that is the reason it exists alongside the digital and semi-automatic machines rather than beneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat you gain is directness. The operator brings the bend on, watches the tube, and stops where the tube says to stop — not where a stored value says to. On short runs, unfamiliar material, and repair work where the reference is a bent original rather than a drawing, that is faster and better than programming. What you give up is equally clear: repeatability across a long run depends on the operator, because the machine remembers nothing. If you build the same section fifty times a month, buy a machine that stores it. If you build fifty different things, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFewer electronics is a durability argument too\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA control board, a keypad and a display are three things that live in a shop full of swarf, oil mist and vibration. They are protected on the machines that have them, but they are still there. A manual machine has fewer of them, and in an environment where equipment gets used hard by people in a hurry, that is worth something on a ten-year view. It also means a shop with no appetite for training on a controller can put a competent operator on the machine and get work out of it the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSame tonnage, different chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eManual control does not mean a lighter machine. The top cylinder develops the same 60,000 lbs. (27,216 kg), through the same welded steel tube frame in 6\" x 6\" section with 3\/8\" wall, with a pass-through cylinder stem, a one-piece barrel keeping the gates aligned, bending heads ground to within .002\" and 2.5\" oversized barrel shafts. The cylinder shafts are chrome-moly conforming to ANSI 92.2, which is a materials standard for the shafts rather than a safety listing for the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe footprint is genuinely different from the digital machines, so do not carry a layout over from one to the other: the BB-2 measures 42\" (1,067 mm) by 62\" (1,575 mm), with a third principal dimension of 31\" (787 mm) — see the note below about how the source table labels that row.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat it will bend, and how it finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaximum tube capacity is 3\" (76 mm), with the bending radius running from 3.3\" (89 mm) at the tightest to 5\" (127 mm) at the widest. The standard die pack covers 1.5\", 1.625\", 1.75\", 2\", 2.25\" and 2.5\" in the 302 pattern, with a 180° die offered separately. At the rear, two end-finishing units handle flaring and expanding, joined by a high-speed clampless swager, an internal expander and a drop-in collar, and the swager box is open-sided so tools clear it without being crashed into the cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBending controls\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eManual\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eExpander controls\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eManual\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax. tube capacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3\" (76 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBending radius\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3.3\" (89 mm) to 5\" (127 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTop cylinder force\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e60,000 lbs.

The machine weighs 1,364 lbs. and ships crated at 70\" x 32\" x 47\" (1,778 mm x 812 mm x 1,206 mm). Unloading is the receiver's responsibility: a forklift rated for that crate, or terminal collection from the carrier, which many buyers find easier because the terminal is set up for it. Residential delivery carries a residential fee, applied at checkout when selected. Industrial casters let the machine be positioned once it is on the floor, but plan for clear working space behind it, where the end-finishing units are used.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCheck it over before signing. Crate impact, bent tooling, cracked gauges, marked enclosures, oil traces. Write anything you find on the bill of lading while the driver is there, and photograph it — a clean signature is the carrier's proof that nothing was wrong on arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBendPak publishes a written warranty document for its equipment and we keep the current copy; ask for it before ordering if the terms are part of your decision. The rule for any hydraulic machine: raise the claim before anything is dismantled. A cylinder, pump or enclosure opened first is normally treated as modified and cover rarely survives it.
