ABSTRACT
Article History:
Hydraulic operated equipments are used in various fields. Some of them include lowering and
raising of chair hydraulically in Barber or Dentist shops, In an Automobile hydraulic jack is
raised for grease job. Stepping on the brake pedal creates the hydraulic power, which stops the
rotation of the four wheelers or two wheelers to stop. In order to bend pipes, rods and bars
hydraulic bending machine is the most suitable equipment. The pipe or rod to be bent is supported
between the holders and jack is actuated on pipe. It exerts force on the pipe and bends it to the
suitable angle depending on the dies used. Actuation of hydraulic jack is simple and easy to
maintain. In industries, they use presses and load appliers to bending applications. These are
bulky and expensive. Hydraulic bending machine is portable, flexible and less expensive than
those which are discussed earlier. Hence it is better to replace conventional machines by
hydraulic pipe bending machine. It helps in reducing size, space occupied, cost employed can be
minimized. Manually operated bending machine requires no maintenance and power
consumption. During mass production it can be converted into automated or electrically operated
jack so that the rate of production can be increased. Applications of bending machines are found
to be in production industries, petroleum, chemical, automobile etc.

INTRODUCTION
The hydraulic bending press is one of the most flexible
machines in the market, allowing the fabricator or ironworker
to shear, punch, bend, scroll, and press thousands of different
parts. When considering industrial machinery, the hydraulic
bending press is the perfect machine shop tool for the metal
fabricator. The hydraulic pipe bending press fits any small to
medium-sized industry when machinery for large-scale
production must necessarily make way for machinery with
distinctly lower production costs. The operating procedure of
hydraulic pipe bending machine is simple when compared to
other pipe bending machine (Colliers Encyclopaedia, 1997).
Tube bending as a process starts with loading a tube into a
pipe bender and clamping it into place between two dies, the
clamping block and the forming die. The tube is also loosely
held by two other dies, the wiper die and the pressure die.

Mohan Krishna S. A. Experimental design and fabrication of a portable hydraulic pipe bending machine
environment that will bring more profit to the end user. This
series is a simple series where the operator controls the stroke
in and the stroke back by two hand wheels. Simplicity means
profit. The 45 ton machine is the proper tonnage for 90% of all
applications for a horizontal press brake. For many people
who buy or 25 ton machine soon wish they would have made
the small extra investment, because the 45 ton machine covers
the biggest spectrum of profitable jobs. The most profitable
machine in line up for the investment made.
