A bender and base assembly according to some embodiments of the disclosure is provided. The bender includes a frame having a pivot shaft extending therefrom, and a shoe shaft extending from the frame for receiving a shoe rotatably mounted thereon, the shoe shaft defining a shoe axis and a shoe plane perpendicular to the shoe axis. The base includes a pivot shaft receptacle, wherein the pivot shaft receptacle defines a pivot axis, wherein the pivot shaft of the bender is received by the pivot shaft receptacle of the base; wherein the pivot shaft rotates relative to the pivot shaft receptacle, to rotate the bender on the pivot axis between a horizontal bending position and a vertical bending position; and wherein the pivot axis intersects with the shoe plane. A lock is provided to lock the position of the bender relative to the base.

A bending head for an automatic bending machine includes a frame. A first rotationally driven bending roll is arranged in the frame. A bending arm is transversely arranged below the first bending roll and is coupled to a bi-directional drive, with an end of the bending arm rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the first bending roll. A rotatable second bending roll is mounted to an opposite end of the bending. A bending support is configured with the first and second bending rolls. The second bending roll is rotationally coupled to the first bending roll in a forced torque transmission manner for mutual counter-direction rotation of the first and second bending rolls. The bending rolls have axially symmetric reduced lateral circumferential sections. The bending roll controls an angle of mutual rotation of both of the first and second bending rolls.

A portable, self-contained conduit bender having a housing configured to house a reductive gear set, thereby improving safety and extending the life of the conduit bender by limiting exposure of the reductive gear set to dust and debris. The conduit bender includes a motor configured to drive a driven shaft at a first rotational output, a reductive gear set operably coupling the driven shaft to an output shaft, the reductive gear set configured to reduce the first rotational output of the driven shaft to a second rotational output of the output shaft, a housing defining an interior cavity configured to house the reductive gear set, such that only a portion of the output shaft emerges from the interior cavity, and a bender shoe coupleable to the output shaft, the bender shoe defining an arcuate channel configured to receive conduit during bending operations.

A mechanical rod bender is provided for correcting a curvature or deformity in a patient's spine based on the digitized locations of implanted screws and tracking the placement of the rod as it is placed in a minimally invasive fashion. The mechanical rod bender includes a fixed die and a movable die, the movable die having multiple rod contact channels to accommodate spinal rods of different sizes.

An automated bender and its method of operation according to some embodiments of the disclosure is provided. The automated bender includes a carousel which has all of the necessary components for bending a variety of conduit sizes provided thereon. The carousel can be rotated to a desired bending position to bend a particular type of conduit. A straight workpiece is fed into the automated bender and a bent workpiece, which may have multiple bends therein, is output from the automated bender. This bending process is performed without manual intervention. Software for achieving same is provided.
