A bending machine is a type of machine tool used for bending various materials, such as metal sheets, pipes, tubes, and bars. The machine works by applying force to the material at a specific point, causing it to bend into the desired shape or angle.

There are several types of bending machines, each designed for a specific application. The most common types are press brakes, tube benders, and bar benders.

Press brakes are used for bending sheet metal and plates. They consist of a stationary bed and a moving ram that presses the material against a bending die to create the desired bend. The machine can be operated manually or with CNC controls for high precision and automation.

Tube benders are used for bending tubes and pipes. They use a set of rollers and a bending die to create a smooth and precise bend in the tube. The machine can be manual or CNC controlled, and can create bends in various shapes and angles.

Bar benders are used for bending solid bars and rods. They use a set of rollers and a bending die to create bends in the bar. The machine can be operated manually or with CNC controls for high precision and automation.

Bending machines are widely used in various industries, including metalworking, construction, and manufacturing. They offer a fast and efficient way to create precise bends in materials, making them an essential tool in many fabrication processes.
