GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION
You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-480 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-480 is an electric pow
ered “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.
This machine can rotate in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. A user-friendly
touch screen operating station can store up to 170 bend programs with 10 sequential bends
inside of the main program.
The RDB-480 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.
WARNING:
For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and
understand the entire instruction manual.
