  • Page 17: General Design Description

    GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-050 Manual Bending Machine. It has been carefully built of high quality materials and designed to give many years of efficient service. The simplicity of design and minimum effort required to operate the machine contributes towards meeting schedules and producing greater profits.
  • Page 18: Operation

    OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. Bending 1. Before actually bending, several "dry runs" should be performed to familiarize yourself with all of the machine functions. 2.
  • Page 19: Die Selection

    CAUTION: It is important to release pressure gently. If the anti- springback lever is released without caution, the handle assembly and ratchet wheel can violently whip around possibly causing injury. 10. When the desired degree position is reached, the anti-springback lever (A) needs to be deactivated to release the material.
  • Page 20: Die Installation

    Die Installation 1. To install the die. Remove all of the pivot pins and install them in their storage area to the left of the ratchet wheel. 2. Choose either a 90 or 180 degree die set. Locate the dies center hole with the center of the machine.
  • Page 21: Material Insertion

    Material Insertion 1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E. 1-1/4”tube would go into a die mark DS-**-1250T-R***). 2. With the ratchet wheel in the home (0°) position insert the material through the counter die and forming die and into the hook sleeve so that the material extends at least 1/4"...
  • Page 22: Understanding Springback

    UNDERSTANDING SPRINGBACK Springback can be difficult to understand. As material is bent, the materials yield strength resists being formed. As a final degree is reached, the machine will have enough power to hold the bend at a set degree, but as the pressure of the machine is released, the material has a resistance built in, so it “springs back”...

    • Another program available is BEND-TECH which is a program specifically designed for tube bending and will give you all of the required data to make a part. This software is available from Baileigh Industrial. • Bending with a rotary draw bender requires determining the start of bend point which will line up with the “0”...
