Di-Acro Model 6 Tube and Pipe Bender
Di-Acro Model 6 Tube and Pipe Bender |
Model 6 Setup - For bending TUBING, ANGLE AND CHANNEL. Includes clamps and pressure roller assembly as basic tooling for tube bending.
Standard Grooved Radius Collar - For bending round tubing. Used with Clamp Block and Follow Block.
When bending materials of open cross section such as tubing, channel, angle and extrusions, the bending form should exactly fit the contour of the material to provide support during the forming operation. This is also true of the Clamp Block and Pressure Tool as only completely confining the material can a good bend be obtained.
Special Crush Bend Tooling for Round and Square Tubing - designed for both 6 POWER and 8 POWER benders.
Crush bend tooling is used primarily for bending thin wall tubing to a tight radius. If it is not necessary for the formed section to retain its original shape, such as in structural components, the tubing can be uniformly indented with this tooling. The "crush" on the inside radius adds additional strength to the bend, as well as allowing a tight radius with controlled distortion in the bend area.

Di-Acro Model 12 Slip Roll Slip Roll
Di-Acro Model 12 Slip Roll Slip Roll |
Di-Acro Slip Rollers feature a cam-actuated idler roll which permits the operator to locate bends at any point along a sheet of material with straight sections on one or both ends. The idler roll always returns to its present position, allowing duplication with a high degree of accuracy. Calibrated rear roll indicators enable the operator to quickly adjust the machine when changing from one rolling size to another. Small circles, approximately the same diameter as the forming rolls, can be produced in one operation. Circles of any larger diameter can be created in just two passes through the rolls. Round, flat, square and other materials can be formed with Di-Acro Rollers by grooving the bending rolls to fit the shape of the material. Grooving must be specified at time of order.
Flat Material: Flat material can be rolled part way through the rolls (Illustration A) and when the cam lever is engaged, the idler roll is raised and a bend is formed. Disengaging the cam lever lowers the idler roll, and the material again passes through the rolls in a horizontal or flat position. It is thus possible to form a wide variety of shapes with the Di-Acro Roller.
