When working with copper earth tape on a substation, precision bending is essential for safety, fit, and performance. At Alcomet, we supply two specialist tools designed to make that job easier — the ABX1 Universal Bender and the Flat Bender. But which one is right for you?
While both tools are built for reliability and ease of use, they serve slightly different purposes. Here’s a breakdown to help you choose the right one for your workshop or site.
ABX1 Universal Bender
The ABX1 Universal Bender is designed for multi-directional and complex bends. It’s the go-to tool when you need flexibility and precision in shaping your copper tape.
Key Features:
- Handles multiple bar sizes and thicknesses with ease
- Adjustable for custom radii and angles
- Built from robust, long-life materials for heavy-duty site or workshop use
Ideal For:
- Substation installers and fabricators working with varied copper or aluminium profiles
- Engineers who need versatility in producing accurate bends, offsets, or twists
- Workshops handling both prototype and production runs
Alcomet Flat Bender
The Alcomet Flat Bender is a simplified, compact tool designed specifically for flat bends in copper earth tape. It’s ideal when you need quick, repeatable bends without the need for multi-angle adjustments.
Key Features:
- Optimised for flat bar bending only
- Quick-set design for consistent, repeatable bends
- Compact and portable – perfect for on-site use
- Delivers precise 90° and custom angle bends
Ideal For:
- Panel builders and switchgear manufacturers
- Substation contractors working primarily with flat busbar runs
- Users who want speed and simplicity over multi-directional capability
The Flat Bender excels at what it’s designed for — clean, accurate bends in flat bar stock with minimal setup time.
