This document presents a system and method for presenting the invention as a tool that provides the ability to bend and shape rebar type material with less stress on the human body aiding in preventing common injuries that occur from standard rebar tools and processes and it provides portability so that all work can be done at the job site saving time and money from having to go to a workshop to fabricate unique shaped rebar parts.

An apparatus for bending elongated members having different horizontal cross-sectional radiuses (e.g., different sizes of rebar) includes an extension portion, a first vise, and a second vise. The extension portion has a proximal region, a distal region, and a first aperture through the proximal region. The first vise has an aperture through the first vise. The second vise has a recessed region. The first aperture is sized to allow the extension portion to mount onto a vehicle hitch. The first vise and the second vise are located distally from the distal region of the extension portion. The aperture of the first vise is sized to accommodate an first elongated member having a horizontal cross-sectional radius (e.g., a first size of rebar). The recessed region of the second vise is sized to accommodate an second elongated member having a horizontal cross-sectional radius (e.g., a second size of rebar different from the first size of rebar). Accordingly, the horizontal cross-sectional radius of the first elongated member is different than the horizontal cross-sectional radius of the second elongated member.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a wire bending apparatus capable of both on and off-plane nose and mandrel bends. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention incorporate a center turret cluster with a plurality of radii possible, a nose-bending mandrel, and a mandrel-bending mandrel. This apparatus forms a bending head that is attached to a CNC wire bending machine. This combination allows increased flexibility in forming complex wire forms and cuts down secondary operations, such as operations from robot arms, sometimes associated with CNC wire bending. In addition, the turret cluster position in the center allows for bending support with mandrel bends or nose bending on the back side of the bending head, usually 180 degrees away from the normal bending area. This allows the manufacturing of double end-loop forms without the addition of external clamps or robotic manipulation.

A bending head for welded wire mesh includes a frame, a bending face to be moved relative to the frame for bending a wire in a welded wire mesh, a counterholder on which the wire can be braced during bending by the bending face, a bending die which, at least in part, has a predefined bending radius, a bending arm on which the bending face is arranged, and an arm drive device with which the bending arm can be adjusted relative to the frame. A support is provided at which the bending arm is movably mounted. A support drive device, with which the support can be adjusted relative to the frame and which is separate from the arm drive device, is provided.
