How to make a bender for a profile pipe with his hands

If you like to create unique constructions, engineering structures, Useful good equipment home workshop. In the selection of specific types of equipment you must pay attention to the mechanisms discussed in this article. To make a bender for a profile pipe with his hands - study detailed instructions, videos, photos, drawings. to implement the corresponding project is not difficult to use these materials.

Bender for profile pipe with your hands: the basic data

Before exploring the working documentation and algorithms assembly operations, should specify the purpose of the product. Bender for profile pipe with their hands should be calculated on certain effort blanks dimensions, materials. Easier to set meaningful criteria after reading the parameters of the devices tested in practice.

What are these devices

elements building structures create complex shapes using various methods:

• binding bolts and screws are not always able to provide the necessary reliability. Such compounds are destroyed vibration generated additional load.
• Welding It provides excessive thermal effect, which gives the initial structure materials. Connect to get a reliable and durable, require good qualification of the executor. Special equipment consumes a lot of electricity. Some processes use expensive consumables, creating special conditions.
• Adhesive bonds - a limited resistance to the loads and impacts of different nature.

The above drawbacks are eliminated wholly or in part if the blank is folded as desired. To avoid any damage, require precise metering of loads, speeds. In some places it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the walls of the external supports.

Which engineering solutions applied in practice

With a relatively small strength of the materials will be sufficient to use the appropriate stencil.

To create the necessary effort, here mounted lever mechanism. For fixing the pipe portion free metal pin is used. It is set in the appropriate slots "comb" before performing work operations.

An example of this factory samples easier to study design features:

• The handle (1) is controlled automatically move the piston in the opposite direction. This solution reduces the load on the user.
• Inside the case hydraulic system. When moving the handle up and down on the working piston (8) is transmitted to the force 150 kN. This is quite enough for a quick bending workpieces from solid metal.
• Support rollers (3, 4) is set in the desired hole open type frame (5, 9). They do not damage the surface tubesBut provide a secure fit.
• Such a removable segment (6) is used to bend at an angle of 90 °. But with appropriate equipment, can be installed on a similar product of another form.
• Robust housing (10) is mounted on three legs (7). Rubber pads prevent displacement the machine while performing work activities.
• Apart from decontamination, sometimes it is necessary to check the condition of the oil filter (11). Other regulatory procedures are not necessary.

In this procedure the workpiece using desired shape. To it is pressed against the pipe using a rotating roller and lever.

Important! Before curving the workpiece with a radius should examine specialized handbooks. They presented data on allowable deformation pipes of different materials with different thicknesses. If you break these instructions into finished products that are visible or hidden defects.

Relatively small mechanical loads on the tools create levers and hand strength. To work with the durable metal hardware equipped with hydraulics, electric actuators.

Creating a bending tool with their own hands for the shaped tube: drawings and other preparatory operations

A simple device for folding blanks of plastic and aluminum is shown in this figure.

For the manufacture of such structures need strong board. After marking out her cut electric jigsaw circular profile. The remaining part is used for the manufacture of the support member. By parts rigidly connected to the supporting surface. For compounds other than strength screw clamps are used. Next, the pipe is bent manually to form the desired shape.

Before creating this simple bending tool for profile pipe with his hands it is recommended to make the elementary dimensional drawing. Useful pattern of heavy paper, cardboard, on which the marking is affixed. It is understood that for the production of more complex designs require the preparation of a complete design documentation.

Not necessarily strict adherence to engineering standards to make bender for profile pipe with his hands, a schematic representation is sufficient. It is only necessary to specify all sizes, different materials, process and component parts. The project will help to solve some practical problems:

• In preparation it becomes clear whether or not to apply welding and other special equipment.
• A full list of the necessary component parts needed for the target to visit certain shops.
• We must not forget that the machine must be protected from adverse external influences using wood impregnation, metal coloring.
• Some of the details are too complicated to be made independently. It is appropriate to place orders in specialized workshops.

Important! When bending rigid metal pipes need big efforts. In order not to risk unnecessarily, you can use the drawings proven design or industrial design copies.

Making homemade hand tube bender for profile pipe with his own hands: video and detailed instructions

Here we talked about how to quickly create a bender with his own hands for a profile pipe (video).

Master used the materials at hand, channels, part of a drive from an old bicycle. But he had to establish himself welded compound to ensure the integrity of heavy construction.

To find out how to make a pipe bender to profile their own hands, drawings, and video descriptions complement the work operations. The following are several algorithms for assembly technology.

	To create a quality the machine This drawing may be used for the sample. Here the preform is established between the three rollers. The last (2) - operate the support functions. To install them at different distances (for obtaining the desired bending angle) in the supporting rails (1) are made grooves. The required pressure is provided by a screw mechanism (6, 7). The force transmitted through the central roller (4) which rotates the handle (5).
	The holes in the lower parts provide for these sizes. For the selected channel preform with a wall thickness of 4 mm.
	The upper part of creating cutouts. They have to do even, not to create obstacles to the movement of the support screws.
	In accordance with this pattern is cut thread.
	To handle, you can pick up the finished product, or use of such dimensions.
	After the assembly has received such a cute and functional product. There are no welded joints. But the component parts is difficult to do on your own without professional skills, specialized machines.

hydraulic tube bender

Screw mechanism performs its functions too slowly.

a standard jack used in this design. It is fixed firmly on the bar, which is suspended on two springs. This solution simplifies the manipulation with heavy jack when installing blanks, clamping segments.

The pipe rests on two round pins. They can be moved to other holes to create a product with the desired radius of curvature. Details of the robust steel frame (4-5 mm) are fastened by bolts and welds. The design turned collapsible. If necessary, it is not difficult to dismantle. The jack can be used to perform other operations.

At the bottom of the frame to create a hole. Through them, the machine can be permanently attached to the wooden floor with nails, screws. This gives additional stability to the stationary structure. Its metal parts are degreased, coated primer and paint. Apart from good looks to provide a good protection against the destructive processes corrosion.

Note! When creating an improvised bending tool for round pipes used rollers and segments of the stencils with another form of the contact surfaces. Technologies used are the same as for the bending profile products. Useful with the above drawings mutandis.

General conclusions and additional recommendations

To make the right decision, it is necessary to study the current market offers.

These and other products are tailor-made for the bending of profile pipes (products with a round cross-sections). They are created with a specific stroke, exert a force, other technical parameters. They are subject to the official manufacturer's warranty.

When compared with the manufacture of such structures with their own hands all the real costs to consider. Correct comparative analysis will help to make the correct conclusion.
