OPERATION
The KRB #11 Radius Bender is designed to radius up to 1-#11, 35mm piece of rebar.
General Description
The machine has a 16 station preset counter. This counter can be set up to do multi radii in
one piece of rebar. You can also store up to 16 preprogrammed positions of the “Metering Roll” / Pressure
Roll. This counter will allow you to return the metering roll to an exact position each time. The control
also features a manual in/out switch for positioning the metering roll. The drive rolls are controlled by
selector switch. They can be controlled by a foot switch. There are two e-stops which may
be moved as desired.
The radius bender has 2 driven rolls. The entry drive roll is the roll that allows the operator to start
a radius without pre-bending the bar. The drive roll is a serrated roll providing the second driven roll.
These rolls are chain driven from a gear reducer. The gear reducer is driven by a 5HP brake motor and is
coupled by a flexible coupling.
The metering roll applies pressure against the rebar thus creating the radius desired. The metering
roll moves in/out on the slide assembly. The slide assembly is moved by the worm gear screw jack. The
worm gear screw jack is chain driven by the brake motor.
