A hydraulically operated rotary pipe bending machine has a box (1) from which superiorly protrude a die shaft (2) that is rigidly connected to a die and integral with a die gear (29) being driven by an actuator (30) through a hydraulic circuit and being stopped by a limit switch device (8), and a counter-die unit (3) driven by a handwheel (4) in order to place an elongated piece to be bent against said die. The actuator (30) has a single-acting cylinder, having a piston (31) holding a rack rod (30a) engaging said die gear (29), the piston (31) being opposed in its travel by a return spring (33). The limit switch device (8) has an angularly graduated disc (10) mounted, manually adjustable, on the die shaft (2) and provided with a cam (16) designed to control said limit switch (17) of the hydraulic circuit.

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.

A single bending device for continuous three-dimensional bending has a rotating and feeding holder for holding a workpiece, a bending roller assembly having multiple rollers being different in radius, a pressing roller head for bending the workpiece. The bending roller assembly can be moved to allow one predetermined roller to abut against the workpiece. Then the workpiece can be bent by the pressing roller head pushing the workpiece along the predetermined roller. Thus, as long as a different one of the rollers corresponds in position to the workpiece, a bending portion having a different curvature can be formed on the workpiece. Moreover, by controlling the moving length of the pressing roller head along the workpiece, the arc length of each bending portion of the workpiece can be controlled accordingly. It is not necessary to replace the jigs and the dies repeatedly.

A bending apparatus (10) includes an upper first die (11), an upper second die (12), a lower die (13), a control unit (20), an upper first moving mechanism (21), an upper second moving mechanism (22), a lower moving mechanism (23), a holding die (31), and a moving and rotating mechanism (32). The lower die (13) is moved in an upper direction after the upper first die (11) and the upper second die (12) are moved to the front, whereby four coil segments (4) are bent. When the upper second die (12) is moved to a first withdrawal position in the rear direction after the four coil segments (4) are bent, a working space for the holding die (31) is ensured.
