<p>The pipe-bending machine has a feed mechanism delivering a length of pipe to the bending position (16), where a reciprocating tool (48) exerts a sideways force on the pipe, which is ejected by a further mechanism (12) after bending. The bending tool is mounted on a support member (26) which is adjustable and turns about the guide track, along which the length of pipe is fed. An ejector mechanism has a fracture detector (100) along the track in front of the bending tool.</p> |
