The method for manufacturing a pipe bend from a straight pipe piece by means of actuating members acting on the outside of the pipe piece and making an open shaping station, the diameter of the actuating members being expandable and compressible under the action of force, said method comprises the steps of: stepwise moving the pipe piece to and through the shaping station; grasping and pulling the pipe piece during its move to the shaping station by means a reciprocating member during the progressive motion of the reciprocating member; introducing the leading end of the pipe piece into the shaping station, supporting the pipe piece on its inside; upsetting and calibrating the pipe piece by compressing the actuating members of the shaping station while maintaining the supporting of the pipe piece on its inside; loosening the reciprocating member from the pipe piece; retaining the pipe piece in the shaping station during the retrograde motion of the reciprocating member; and repeating these steps until the pipe piece has completely passed the shaping station. The method allows a very precise advance, which can be automated. As a result, the calibration quality is considerably improved.
