GENERAL DESIGN DESCRIPTION
You have made a practical choice in purchasing the RDB-100 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.
The RDB-100 is a manually 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
forces the material to conform to the radius and shape of the bending die.
The RDB-100 Bending Machine you have purchased is built of solid steel ensuring maximum
rigidity. 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.
OPERATION
Bending
1. Before actually bending, a “dry run” may be performed. This will help to become familiar with
the machine functions.
2. Keep hands away from the bending zone.
3. All bending must begin at the “0” latch point. Rotate the anti-spring back lever clockwise to
release the ratchet tension. Rotate the main bending lever fully to the right or clockwise, this
will free the ratchet wheel completely. Grab the ratchet wheel and rotate counterclockwise
until it stops completely, this is the “home” or “0” position. The degree pointer should verify
this.
4. Once at the “0” position, re activate the anti-spring back lever. This must be engaged before
you begin bending (rotate counterclockwise).
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
CAUTION:
Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies and swing arms. Stand
to the front of the machine to avoid getting hit with the material during the bending
process. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported.
