GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION
You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-250 Fully Programmable 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-250 is an electric powered “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
remains stationary, forcing the material to conform to the radius and shape of the bending die.
The RDB-250 Bending Machine you have purchased is built of solid steel ensuring maximum
rigidity. Tongue and groove design with grade 8 bolts throughout provides 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.
