The Nargesa MC550 is a three-driven-roller section and tube bender that rolls round pipe up to 3" (76.2 mm) or 80 mm, plus square tube, flat bar and other profiles. It runs on 230 V single-phase power, and its ESA S625 control panel saves roller positions for each curve so production runs repeat accurately.

Manufactured entirely in Spain using heavy-duty industrial construction and precision-machined components
Applications
The MC550 is designed for medium- to high-volume production environments that require accurate and repeatable profile rolling.
Common applications include:
- Structural steel fabrication
- Circular beams and curved roof structures
- Railings and staircase fabrication
- Greenhouses and pergolas
- Heat exchanger coil production
- Tunnel construction
- Marquee and canopy fabrication
- Urban furniture manufacturing
- Bicycle stands, barriers, and bollards
- Decorative and ornamental ironwork
- General pipe and profile rolling applications
The machine's programmable control system makes it particularly valuable for manufacturers producing identical components across multiple production runs.
Why Choose the Nargesa MC550?
Many section bending machines rely heavily on operator experience to achieve consistent results. The MC550 reduces that dependency by combining mechanical strength with advanced digital controls that automate much of the bending process.
Its three-roll traction system maintains constant contact with the material throughout the bending cycle, helping to improve profile control while reducing the likelihood of material slippage.
The ESA S625 control system further enhances productivity by automatically storing roller positions and bending programs, allowing operators to quickly reproduce identical parts without repeating manual setup procedures.
For fabricators producing architectural components, structural profiles, curved tube assemblies, or ornamental products, the MC550 delivers the repeatability, automation, and production capacity required for modern manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pipe can the MC550 bend?
Round pipe up to 3" (76.2 mm) or 80 mm. Capacities for other profiles are in Nargesa’s section bending capacity chart.
What power does the MC550 need?
Nargesa specifies a 1.5 kW main motor and a 0.75 kW hydraulic unit on 230 V single-phase power. Other voltages are available. Confirm your shop’s voltage with BTH Sales before ordering.
How is the MC550 different from the MC550CNC?
The MC550 saves roller positions for repeat curves but has no longitudinal positioning control. The MC550CNC adds a full ESA S625 CNC with radius prediction, and Nargesa sells a CNC bending kit that can upgrade the MC550 later.
Can it bend stainless steel without marking it?
Yes, with the optional Sustarin rollers for stainless, aluminum and delicate materials up to 2.5 mm wall. Nargesa advises cleaning steel rollers well before bending stainless.
How long does delivery take?
