What we do
Tubender builds automation tools for commercial electrical contractors. Our first product, Mark 1, tackles the most labor-intensive part of any large conduit installation: the bending. No specialist needed, no oversized machine, no off-site limitations.
Why Tubender?
The demand for data centers is exploding - 1,000 new facilities are being built globally every year, each requiring an average of 28 miles of conduit. Meanwhile, for every 10 electricians who retire, only 1 joins the trade. Contractors are being asked to build more with fewer people.
Tubender Mark 1 was built for this reality. It works in the prefab shop before the project starts and on the job site when conduit needs to be bent in the field - the only machine on the market that does both.
Safe
Above all, Tubender strives to make conduit installations safer for electricians and has multiple systems in place to ensure safe operation.
Automatic
Mark 1's CNC software handles every bend in sequence. No specialist required. Uses bending terms your electricians already know - offsets, stub-90s, saddles.
Portable
Mark 1 is 5 feet long and 500 lbs - small enough to fit in a standard pickup truck and move around the job site without a forklift. It still handles standard 10-foot conduit lengths.
Fast
Mark 1 bends conduit up to 16x faster than manual methods. No more measure, mark, and reposition for every single bend. One operator. Full output.
Built on proof.
