PIPE BENDING MACHINE

The range of pipe bending machines and accessories represent the best of engineering, manufacture and innovation. For many years there has been very little real choice of stand mounted conduit or copper pipe bender but this new range, featuring some much needed new ease of use features and unique accessories carries on the company tradition of innovation and continual product improvement whilst providing superb value for money. Bending machine is fabricated from 30mm square section tubing to provide a rock solid frame which more than stands up to the rigors of daily use. The frame is designed to give maximum stability, minimizing the risks of sideways movement or skidding across floors, making operation as easy and effective as possible. The formers, which are key to creating a perfect bend, are machined cast aluminum. This means they can provide a superior and highly accurate bend as the machined area provides a perfect profile to support the pipe and gives excellent contact and virtually no movement. By comparison, most other brands use non machined die casts. Included with all machines is a dual purpose stabilizing and extension bar. It can be used to give extra leverage when performing down-bends, or to give extra stability to up-bends by acting as a counter-lever. For electricians, the bar can also be used as a handy cable reel feed by simply securing it through holes in the vice mount, further adding to its versatility. When not in use the bar can be stored securely out of the way on the side of the machine. Another important development on this range of machines is the new design vice mount. Being more substantial than those of other brands, this vice mount offers added functionality. Perhaps most important is the ability of the company mount to accept a wide range of vices, including those of other leading manufacturers, thanks to the universal slots. These slots are also designed to allow the vice to be secured either flush with the edge of the mount or even to overhang, in order to provide clearance to make the threading of conduit much easier, no longer making the vice mount an obstacle to the threading equipment.

Yet another exclusive feature in this range comes in the form of the hexagonal drive featured on the universal and pipe bending machines. Using the optional hexagonal drive key, a power drill can be used to wind the inner shaft of the bending lever handle to quickly and effortlessly move the roller into position.

Roll Bender

The roll bender is equipped with a LED digital display to monitor the bending roll, this machine gives accuracy in all rolling application. The unit uses the powerful pyramid geometry with lower rolls driven and fixed in position and the top roll adjustable to obtain different bending diameters. Universal tooling supplied in many components permit bending of most standard sections/profiles.

Manual Roll Bender

This manual roll bender by pro tools is capable of rolling tube, pipe, channel, flats, and various box tubing. The unit's small size makes it highly portable and versatile. Top roll position is adjusted by means of a lever handle and the lower rolls are fixed. Bottom rolls can be dropped in quickly, and the top roll is fixed in place using the keyed shaft on the handle. With its sturdy dual side plate design, this machine can handle surprisingly large material for large radius work. Excellent machine for the ornamental, racing, and handrail industry.

Another model is a bench top three roll (angle rolls) universal bender. It is an electro-mechanical metal bending machines complete with adjustable lateral material supports and an electronic digital display to monitor roll position. The unit is ideal for rolling standard/special sections plus small diameter tube and pipe mild and stainless steels, aluminum, brass, copper and other materials. The unit's small size makes it highly portable and versatile. Top roll position is adjusted by means of a lever handle and the lower rolls are driven and knurled for optimum profile traction. No other machine compares for cost effectiveness in bending machine.
