Manual Roller Bending Machine

Here we study the design and fabrication of a mini manual roller bending machine
that uses chain sprocket based roller mechanism to bend pipes/rods. The
mechanism is widely used in industry to for bending purposes. The machine is
made with a supporting frame that supports the roller mechanism between it. The
work to be bent can then be rolled across it to achieve desired bending. The rollers
are fitted with bearings so as to achieve the desired smooth motion. One of the
rollers is integrated with a hand driven spindle wheel to drive it manually. This
wheel is also connected to the other roller using a chain sprocket mechanism to
drive it along with spindle at the same rate. The frame is made with a mechanism
to fit a movable roller in the center through a screw mechanism. This is used to
adjust the bending angle. The mechanism is fitted through a slot made in the frame
center. This screw based mechanism along with the spindle powered rollers allows
the user to achieve desired bending.
