Abstract
The pipe bending machine comprises a rotatable bending template (14) and a pivot arm (21) pivotable about the axis of the bending template and supporting a clamping jaw (22). In order to be able to perform rightward bending as well as leftward bendings of a pipe (27), the bending template (14) consists of two template parts (15,16) configured for different bending directions. The clamping jaw (22) also consists of jaw parts (23,24) for different bending directions. On both sides of the bending head, slide rails (32,33) are arranged.
Claims9
A pipe bending machine comprising a bending template (14), pivot means for effecting rotation of said bending template in opposite directions about an axis of said pivot means, a pivot arm (21), said pivot arm (21) being pivotable through substantially 180 degrees, a clamping jaw (22) carried by said pivot arm (21), a pair of slide rails (32, 33) disposed on opposite sides of said bending template (14);
- said bending template (14) and clamping jaw (22) having cooperative means (18 or 19;
- 23 or 24, respectively) for clamping a pipe and effecting bending thereof upon pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in opposite directions with contemporaneous rotation of said bending template (14), cooperative counterforce absorption being effected by a selective one (32 or 33) of said pair of slide rails (32, 33) during pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in said opposite directions, and said cooperative clamping means (18 or 19;
- 23 or 24, respectively) being operative absent reversal of said clamping jaw (22) and said pivot arm (21).
A pipe bending machine comprising a bending template (14), pivot means for effecting rotation of said bending template in opposite directions about an axis of said pivot means, a pivot arm (21), said pivot arm (21) being pivotable through substantially 180 degrees about said pivot means and the axis thereof, a clamping jaw (22) carried by said pivot arm (21), a pair of slide rails (32, 33) disposed on opposite sides of said bending template (14);
- said bending template (14) and clamping jaw (22) having cooperative means (18 or 19;
- 23 or 24, respectively) for clamping a pipe and effecting bending thereof upon pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in opposite directions with contemporaneous rotation of said bending template (14), cooperative counterforce absorption being effected by a selective one (32 or 33) of said pair of slide rails (32, 33) during pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in said opposite directions, and said cooperative clamping means (18 or 19;
- 23 or 24, respectively) being operative absent reversal of said clamping jaw (22) and said pivot arm (21).
A pipe bending machine comprising a bending template (14) mounted for selective rotation in opposite directions about an axis, a pivot arm (21) being pivotable through substantially 180 degrees, a clamping jaw (22) carried by said pivot arm (21), a pair of slide rails (32, 33) disposed on opposite sides of said bending template (14);
- said bending template (14) and clamping jaw (22) having cooperative first means (19, 23, respectively) for clamping a pipe and effect bending thereof upon pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in a first of said opposite directions with contemporaneous rotation of said bending template (14) in said first direction and cooperative counterforce absorption being effected by one (32) of said pair of slide rails (32, 33);
- said bending template (14) and clamping jaw (22) having cooperative second means (18, 24, respectively) for clamping a pipe and effect bending thereof upon pivoting of said pivot arm (21) in a second of said opposite directions with contemporaneous rotation of said bending template (14) in said second direction and cooperative counterforce absorption being effected by a second (33) of said pair of slide rails (32, 33), and said first and second cooperative clamping means (19, 23 and 18, 24, respectively) being operative absent reversal of said clamping jaw (22) and said pivot arm (21).
