Abstract
An orientable bending assembly of a type capable of being temporarily retracted below the upper edge of a work platform (15) of a bending-shaping machine for sections is disclosed. The bending assembly is provided with clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of a bending pin (18) and contrast roll (12). A bending, e.g., disk (11) cooperates with and is supported by an orientable slide block (14) pivoted on an orientation pivot (16) lying in the neighborhood of a plane comprising the axis of the contrast roll (12), this plane being substantially parallel to the axis of the section or sections being bent and shaped.
Claims13
An orientable bending assembly of a type capable of being temporarily retracted below an upper edge of a work platform of a bending machine for at least one section having a longitudinally extending axis, comprising,
- bending means for bending said at least one section and being provided with a bending pin and a contrast roll, said bending pin and contrast roll being provided so as to be rotatable clockwise and anticlockwise;
- an orientable slide block pivotable about an axis of an orientation pivot;
- wherein said bending means is supported on said orientable slide block such that said axis of said orientation pivot lies near a plane comprising an axis of said contrast roll, said plane being substantially parallel to said longitudinally extending axis of said at least one section being bent, and wherein said contrast roll and orientation pivot are not coaxial.
