GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION
You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-150 Hydraulic 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.
The RDB-150 is an electric p
owered hydraulically operated “Rotary Draw” bending machine. To
bend material, a bending die and counter die are required. The material is hooked by the
bending dies’ hook arm and is powerfully rotated in the clockwise direction. As the bending die
rotates, the counter die arm also rotates about the same axis, forcing the material to conform to
the radius and shape of the bending die.
The RDB-150 Bending Machine you have purchased is built of solid steel ensuring maximum
rigidity. Tongue and groove design with grade 8 bolts throughout provide very high rigidity and
stability.
Throughout this manual are listed various safety-related descriptions for attention. These
matters for attention contain the essential information to the operators while operating and
maintaining. Failure to follow these instructions may result in great damage to the machine or
injury to the operator.
