Baileigh R-CNC55
The Baileigh R-CNC55 is a computer controlled hydraulic roll bender that transforms complex metal bending into a simple, automated process. Just input your desired radius, load your material, and watch as perfectly bent pieces roll out with remarkable precision and minimal scrap.
Are you tired of wasting material on imperfect bends? The R-CNC55 is designed to solve that exact problem. This professional grade CNC roll bender brings industrial precision to your shop floor, allowing you to create consistent, repeatable bends in pipes, tubes, bars, and angles with ease.
What makes this machine special is its intuitive approach to a traditionally complex task. The integrated touchscreen control system was built specifically for roll bending applications, meaning you don't need to be a programming expert to get started. Whether you're bending handrails for architectural projects, fabricating roll cages for automotive applications, or creating custom furniture pieces, this machine adapts to your needs.
The R-CNC55 features three hydraulically driven rolls that work together to create smooth, accurate bends. The top roll adjusts hydraulically while the bottom rolls include a unique mechanical side-to-side adjustment. This double pinch design is where the magic happens: it dramatically reduces the waste at the beginning and end of your bends, putting more money back in your pocket with every project. You can even tilt the entire machine onto its back to work horizontally when you're tackling longer, more complex segments.
Built in Portugal with industrial grade components and an electro welded steel plate frame, this machine is engineered to handle full capacity work without flexing or compromising accuracy. It's the kind of equipment that pays for itself through increased productivity and reduced material waste.

Applications
- Automotive Fabrication: Create roll cages, exhaust systems, chassis components, and hydraulic lines with precision bends that meet safety standards every time
- Architectural Metalwork: Fabricate custom handrails, curved stairway components, decorative railings, and building facade elements with consistent quality
- Furniture Manufacturing: Bend tubing for modern furniture frames, chair components, and decorative metal pieces with repeatable accuracy for production runs
- Industrial Equipment: Produce frames for farm equipment, material handling systems, playground structures, and machinery components that require exact specifications
- Marine and Shipbuilding: Form piping systems, structural supports, and custom fittings for vessels where precision is critical
- HVAC and Plumbing: Bend coils, create custom piping runs, and fabricate specialized components for heating, cooling, and fluid systems
Key Features & Benefits
- Triple Driven Roll System with Hydraulic Control: All three rolls are powered and hydraulically adjustable, giving you smooth, consistent bending action. The top roll moves with precision while the two bottom rolls adjust side-to-side, minimizing straight sections at bend ends. This means less wasted material and more usable product from every piece you feed through.
- Intuitive Touchscreen CNC Control: No steep learning curve here. The touchscreen operator pedestal comes pre-loaded with software designed specifically for roll bending. You can store up to 40 complete programs, each containing 24 different parts or segments. Switch between jobs quickly without complex reprogramming.
- Handheld Digital Measuring System: The included arc meter provides fast, accurate calibration and automatically monitors both bend length and radius in real time. This digital readout system offers 75 different profile calibrations, ensuring precision across a wide range of applications.
- Variable Speed Control for Perfect Results: Choose from four different speeds for top roll movement and two speeds for bottom roll rotation. This flexibility lets you match the bending speed to your material type and desired finish quality, giving you smooth transitions between different parts.
- Double-Pinch Design Reduces Waste: Unlike single-pinch benders, the R-CNC55's double-pinch configuration dramatically cuts down on the straight sections at your bend starts and ends. This feature alone can save you significant money on material costs over time.
- Versatile Vertical and Horizontal Operation: Need to bend long sections? Simply tilt the machine onto its back and work horizontally. This unique capability makes handling extended workpieces much easier and expands the range of projects you can tackle.
- Lateral Angle Guide Rolls: These guide rolls automatically correct bend angles as you work, preventing twisted material and ensuring your bends stay true to specifications. Less rework means faster project completion.
- Robust Industrial Construction: The electro-welded steel plate frame provides exceptional rigidity, ensuring zero flex even when you're working at full capacity. This structural integrity translates directly to more accurate bends and longer machine life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bend different materials with the RCNC55?
Absolutely. This machine handles a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys. The variable speed controls let you adjust the bending process to match each material's characteristics. Just remember that harder materials may require you to stay within the lower end of the capacity range.
Do I need special training to operate the CNC system?
Not at all. The touchscreen interface was designed specifically for roll bending applications, making it much more intuitive than general-purpose CNC systems. Most operators can start producing quality bends within a few hours of familiarization. Plus, you get lifetime technical support by phone if you ever need guidance.
What's the difference between progressive and direct mode?
These are the two top roll movement options. In progressive mode, the profile keeps moving while the top roll adjusts its position, creating continuous bends. In direct mode, the profile stops while the top roll moves to its new position. You'll use progressive mode for most applications, but direct mode gives you more control for certain specialized bends.
Can I create complete circles or just partial bends?
You can create complete circles, partial arcs, or multiple-radius bends in a single workpiece. The machine's capacity for 24 different segments per program means you can even create wave patterns or complex shapes that require multiple radius changes.
What kind of maintenance does this machine require?
Regular maintenance is straightforward: keep the rolls clean, check hydraulic fluid levels periodically, and lubricate moving parts according to the manual's schedule. The robust construction means this machine is built for long-term production use with minimal downtime. Many shops report years of trouble-free operation with basic preventive maintenance.
