APPLICATIONS

WHAT IS ROTARY COMPRESSION

Pedrick Pipe, Tube, and Solid BarStock Benders operate on the rotary compression bending principle. It consists of a stationary die and an arm that rotates around the die and wipes the material to be bent into the die.

Bends can be produced in pipe and tubing that can be used to reduce cutoffs, end preparation, fittings and welds, which saves money. The compression bending process is well suited for bending heavy sections.

Solid round barstock (1/4 - 3 in. OD) can be bent for many industrial applications. A variety of structural, roll-formed, and extruded sections can be bent using the rotary compression bending process.

R-Series U-Bolt Bending Machine

R-Series bender is designed to produce round and square U-Bolts in solid barstock in one bending operation. This machine is extremely fast. It has cycle time of 6 seconds and it can handle 1 3/4 inch OD alloy steel bar stock!

The R-Series bender has a unique patented design. The bending arm rotates like a standard bender. The center spindle also rotates but at one half the speed of the bending arm. When a part is being bent it is loaded symmetrically. This feature enables the machine to make two bends simultaneously to produce a square U-Bolt.

Another benefit is that round U-Bolts are produced with excellent symmetry. This is difficult to achieve in alloy bar stock on conventional benders. Finally, the dies are very easy to make for this bender. They can be saw cut from C-1018 plate.
