Pressure die systems configured to be used in a tube bending machine having a machine frame. The pressure die systems include a system frame, a first pressure die, a second pressure die, and a pivot assembly. The first pressure die is supported on the system frame. The second pressure die is spaced from the first pressure die and supported on the system frame. The pivot assembly is moveably mounted to the system frame between the first pressure die and the second pressure die. The system frame pivots about the pivot assembly. The pivot assembly is configured to move relative to the system frame to different positions between the first pressure die and the second pressure die to define different pivot positions for the system frame.

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.

Tube bending devices including a device actuator, a crank assembly, a bending die, and a clamp assembly. The crank assembly is mechanically coupled to the device actuator. The bending die is mechanically coupled to the crank assembly. The clamp assembly is operatively coupled to the bending die and secures the tube to the bending die. The device actuator selectively drives the crank assembly. In some examples, the crank assembly selectively rotates the bending die over at least 180 degrees. In some examples, the bending die includes an axle and the crank assembly includes a first link, a crank actuator, and a second link. The first link is pivotally coupled to the device actuator and coupled to the axle. The crank actuator is pivotally coupled to the first link. The second link is pivotally coupled to the crank actuator and coupled to the axle.

A rod bender for bending a surgical rod includes first and second arms. The first arm includes first and second engaging portions. The second arm includes third and fourth engaging portions. The rod bender is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the second and fourth engaging portions of the respective first and second arms engage the surgical rod such that spreading of the first and third engaging portions of the respective first and second arms bends the surgical rod in a first orientation and a second configuration in which the first engaging portion of the first arm and the fourth engaging portion of the second arm engage the surgical rod such that spreading of the second engaging portion of the first arm and the third engaging portion of the second arm bends the surgical rod in a second orientation opposite to the first orientation.

A bending machine has a main spindle which supports a die. There are two counter dies each mounted on a working arm which rotate about the main spindle. The working arms are driven by link arms which are acted on by a translational drive. There is versatile three-point bending caused by three die points, two on the working arms and one on the die support shaft. The working arm drive includes a translational component which extends through the die support shaft, and which is connected to the link arms. This achieves excellent symmetry and compactness.

The invention relates to a bending head, especially for an automatic bending machine, containing a pair of bending rolls (1, 2) and a bending support (3), whereby below the first bending roll (1) is arranged transversely on the bending head a bending arm (20), which is positioned with its longitudinal axis perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the first bending roll (1), the bending arm (20) is mounted on the bending head with one of its ends rotatably about the longitudinal axis of the first bending roll (1) and is coupled to a drive, while at the other end of the bending arm (20) is mounted rotatably about its longitudinal axis the second bending roll (2), whose longitudinal axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first bending roll (1). The second bending roll (2) is coupled to the first bending roll (1) with the aid of means of forced torque transmission, whereby both rolls (1, 2) are provided with mutually axially symmetrical lightweight sections (X) of their circumferences, the first bending roll (1) is coupled to a drive of its rotary motion with a controlled angle of rotation and the bending arm (20) is coupled to a drive of bidirectional bending, whereby the bending support (3) is formed by a bending support for bidirectional bending.

A device for bending tubular workpieces includes a straight workpiece section that extends in a longitudinal direction and is held in a clamping device. A bending tool for bending the workpiece around a bending axis, that runs transversely to the longitudinal direction, has a radial part and a bending part. The radial part is rotatable about the bending axis. The bending part can be pivoted relative to the radial part for bending the workpiece about the bending axis. For rotatable driving, a radial driveshaft is coupled to the radial part, and a bending driveshaft is coupled to the bending part. To very flexibly create a plurality of different bends and to be able to use variable bend geometries, the radial driveshaft and the bending driveshaft extend in the longitudinal direction. The radial driveshaft and/or the bending driveshaft are designed as a hollow shaft, and one is arranged coaxially around the other.
