(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional bending apparatus, the receiving roll
11 and the bending roll 14 are moved by the cylinders 12 and 15, respectively, so that two operations are required for one bending operation.
Since bending is performed with the piston rods of 12, 15 extended together, if a pressurized fluid is supplied into a cylinder (generally an air cylinder) during bending, the bending moment applied to the piston rod increases, and the bending is further increased. The deflection caused by the reaction force during machining supports the cylinders 18 and 15,
19 and the bases 16 and 17, resulting in a slight deviation between the receiving roll 11 and the bending roll 14 (which is called "breathing among traders"), resulting in variations in products.
In addition, stays 18 and 19 and bases 16 and 17
Need to be thick and strong, thus making the device bulky and heavy (though this would still be confusing). In addition, cylinders 12 and 15, receiving roll 11,
It takes a long time to manufacture and assemble, adjust, etc. to design and arrange the entire device in consideration of the position and direction of the bending roll 14, etc.
At the time of mass production start-up, there were problems that the apparatus could not be completed, the number of parts was large, and the number of movable parts was large, so that the manufacturing cost was extremely high and the durability was poor.

(Operation) The present invention includes a fixed frame having a guide surface as described above, and a metal tube directly or on a column or a column so that the metal tube can be bent along the guide surface or the guide surface and the guide member. Bending is performed by a bending member that moves from the outside of the guide by an actuator mounted via a bracket, such as an air cylinder or a rotary actuator. That is, since the actuator for actuating the bending member is connected to the fixed formwork by welding or the like, it is not affected by the bending due to the reaction force during the bending process, and is preferably the piston rod of the air cylinder unlike the conventional case. When bending is completed, bending moment is hardly applied to the piston rod, etc., when bending is completed, instead of bending while pushing (extended)
In addition, the influence of the backlash of the piston rod bush is minimized, so that a slight deviation (breathing) from the bending member is prevented. In addition, since one operation is required for one bending process, the time is shortened, and the mold can be easily made by welding etc., and the bending members (including actuators) are arranged toward the mold. Can be smaller and lighter.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the fixed mold 1 and the metal tube 2 are bent so that they can be bent along the guide 3 and the guide surface 1'or the second guide surface 1 ". Bending is performed by a bending member 5 which is moved from the outside of the guide 3 by an actuator 7 attached directly to 1 or via a pillar 4 or a bracket 4 '. Is connected to the fixed mold 1 to prevent bending due to a stay or the like, and preferably the bending member 5 is pushed by the actuator 7 so that the piston rod is pulled, so that the bending member 5 pushes, that is, extends. It is possible to minimize the influence of backlash of the piston rod bush due to the state and to apply almost no bending moment. It is possible to obtain a product with a highly accurate bending shape by preventing the occurrence of a slight deviation (breathing) between the guide 5 and the guide 3, and since one bending process is completed in one operation, it takes time. After shortening, and further cutting a commercially available square bar or the like into a required length and bending the same, it is continuously welded so as to substantially match the bending shape over the entire length of the metal tube, and further, a plate-shaped guide member 3 Is erected at a predetermined position to form the mold 1, and the bending member 5 (actuator 7 is operated so as to operate toward the mold).
The entire bending machine can be configured by simply arranging
The size and weight can be reduced, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced, and the manufacturing can be performed in an extremely short time, so that the system can be reliably put into an operable state at the start of mass production.
