A machine for bending an elongated workpiece without wrinkling has a roller-like bending die (2) with a vice (3) adapted to retain one end of the elongated workpiece (P) to be bent. The roller-like bending die (2), being provided with a central hole (5) and a groove profile (6) and rotatable about a rotation axis (y), bears, centrally and coaxially in its groove profile (6), a plate element (18) oscillating with respect to the bending die (2) around a rotation axis (y) thereof. The plate element (18) having a peripheral edge (19) which continues the groove profile (6) of the bending die (2) consists of at least two pieces (20, 21) which are adapted to be connected to one another to surround the bending die (2).

Machine for working tubes, in particular a hairpin bender machine for simultaneously working a plurality of tubes intended, in particular, to make heat exchangers, said machine comprising a device (14) for feeding and moving tubes to be worked, a unit (16) for bending said tubes, a cutting member (18) configured to cut said plurality of tubes.

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 metal bend pipe having a bend portion bent in a semi-circular arc shape is provided, in which an identification part that enables one of the two end portions of the bend portion to be identified as the bending-start side or the bending-end side is provided, and the identification part is integrally formed as a protruding and/or recessed three-dimensional region. Thus, it is possible to easily and reliably identify which of the two end portions of the bend portion is the bending-start side or the bending-end side.

A method of bending a conduit is disclosed. An engagement member is displaced via contact with the conduit and engages a switch. A signal is sent to a microprocessor indicative of a characteristic of the conduit to be bent, in response to engagement of the switch. The microprocessor provides a motor control signal to the motor to control a rotation of the shoe, wherein rotation of the shoe bends the conduit.
