Iron Bar Cutting and Bending Machine
Details: This electrically operated machine has a one hp motor for cutting and bending operations. The machine can cut an iron bar 10 mm diameter in 5 sec. The bar is easily sheared when a sharp-edged cutting tool is applied at heavy pressure. The bending operation is similar to cutting, but a die helps bend the metal in the former. A fabric belt connecting the rolling shutter spring and hollow cylindrical bar helps the cutter and other movable elements return to their respective positions. The machine cuts/bends the work piece precisely and doesn’t produce any significant noise during its operation.
