Bending head for tube bending machine - has cantilever housing containing support and bending rolls, and gear and screw drive

摘要

A bending head for a tube bending machine includes a housing, having an axial passage, mounted in a cantilever fashion on the framework of the machine for forceful rotation about its axis, the tube or billet being pushed through the head along this axis during a bending operation. The free end of the housing has, mounted in the passage, a pair of support rolls and a pivotable arm, kinematically connected to the drive of the machine through a screw-and-nut couple and a gear, carrying a bending roll. The axes of rotation of the rolls and the pivot axis of the arm are perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the housing. In opposition to each support roll and the bending roll are rolls positioned symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation of the housing. A second gear fixed on the housing is independently kinematically connected to the drive of the machine.
