Design and Fabrication Of Pipe Bending Machine Mechanical Project

Abstract:

As the name suggests this project is about fabrication of a machine that is used for bending of pipes.

My project is to design and construct a bending machine. This machine is used to bend steel into curve or other curvature shape. The size of the machine is very convenient for portable work. It is fully made by steel. Moreover it is easy to be carried and used at any time and any place.

Introduction:

In various fabrication works as well as in architectural work pipes are used in artistic ways. To bend these pipes into these artistic forms is not easy thing to be done manually. Using a particular machine specially developed for bending of pipes helps.

To build this machine many equipment or machine is used. By using all this equipment, process for making the project is faster and easier. I had also learned a proper method for operating all this machine and equipment. Choosing component material is very important, because it will affect the overall cost of the machine and the product quality. With this consideration, I had design this machine with the maximum quality and low in cost.

Hydraulic operated equipments are used in various fields. Some of them include lowering and raising of chair hydraulically in Barber or Dentist shops, In an Automobile hydraulic jack is raised for grease job. Stepping on the brake pedal creates the hydraulic power, which stops the rotation of the four wheelers or two wheelers to stop. In order to bend pipes, rods and bars hydraulic bending machine is the most suitable equipment. The pipe or rod to be bent is supported between the holders and jack is actuated on pipe. It exerts force on the pipe and bends it to the suitable angle depending on the dies used. Actuation of hydraulic jack is simple and easy to maintain. In industries, they use presses and load appliers to bending applications. These are bulky and expensive. Hydraulic bending machine is portable, flexible and less expensive than those which are discussed earlier. Hence it is better to replace conventional machines by hydraulic pipe bending machine. It helps in reducing size, space occupied, cost employed can be minimized. Manually operated bending machine requires no maintenance and power consumption. During mass production it can be converted into automated or electrically operated jack so that the rate of production can be increased. Applications of bending machines are found to be in production industries, petroleum, chemical, automobile etc.
