Abstract: A twisting machine for polygonal cross-section bars having an independent jaw chuck fitted on a mandrel and a counteracting support slidable on a prismatic guide, which is firmly connected to the machine and parallel to the mandrel; the jaw chuck includes a mutually co-operating rotary connection between the mandrel and the chuck in the form of a groove for ball-recirculating and a mutually engagement, such as an abutment projection diametrally projecting from and integral with the mandrel and a longitudinal pin connected to the chuck, which are adapted to drive into rotation the chuck by the mandrel, after a free rotation of the mandrel along an arc with an angle less than a round angle.

Abstract: Machine for bending pipes or section bars comprising a work table on which two or more powered spindle noses appear, at least one of which is powered to rotate in a direction and at least another is idle or driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the former one; said spindle noses being accessible for mounting/demounting on/from them spindles designed to support respective bender rollers or matrices defining a work area on the work table in order to bend a pipe or a section bar according to fixed or variable radiuses: support means for a counteracting member designed to co-operate with said bender rollers or matrices in a bending operation according to fixed or variable radiuses; said support means being firmly locatable on straight guide means in said work table along an approachment/removal direction of said counteracting member to/from, said work area.

Abstract: A pipe bending machine with a bending assembly (1) and a support arm (2), pivotedly supported swingingly relative to the bending assembly through a pivot (6) that is slidably supported along a stem (7) on the axis passing through the center of rotation of the matrix and the center of swinging of the countermatrix assembly (the "zero"), so as to automatically position and axis of the pipe on the zero.

Abstract: A support arm assembly for a pipe bending machine, including one or more linear ledges arranged along the arm; a mandrel including a piece for intercepting the ledges through a click (106) switching between a raised rest position and a lowered working position by the displacement of an eyelet, in which it can slide, having raising edges (105) against which click (106) is loaded, under the actuation of an air cylinder, under the control of means that also control the opening/closing of the pipe carrier gripper (16) of the mandrel; and angular ledge dowels with a sense cut (200) being provided on the periphery of the mandrel, cooperating with a spring-loaded locator.

Abstract: Universal pipe bender comprising a geared motor (1; 11); a box, on a working table whereof two or more pairs of hollow rotary motion drives having fixed parallel rotation axes (2, 2a; 2', 2a'; 2", 2a"; 12, 12'; 12a, 12a') intended to receive, interchangeably and integrally in rotation, in their concavity respective roller hearing mandrels (200) and to transmit to the latter rotary motion impressed by said geared motor through gears arranged in said case, and a through slide (4, 40) that can be slidingly operated and fixable in position in a through guide (4') provided in said case, on the same side where said rotary motion drives open, which traverses the fixed interaxes of said pairs of rotary motion drives, and which mounts one or more further roller hearing mandrels (5, 5'; 50, 50').

Abstract: Vise for clamping a pipe or rod or section bar or other mechanical part, with a jaw (3) and a counterjaw (3'), comprising a piston fixed in position by a support (10) with a rod (6) to the head of which said counterjaw (3') is rendered integral through a cart (7); pliers with two catches (9, 9') hinged upon said support (10) to rotate vertically and endowed with hooks (9a, 9a') fit for engaging two corresponding cavities (3a, 3a') provided on respectively upper and lower surfaces of said jaw, said catches having their profile with an inner and outer raising (12, 12a; 12', 12a') toward the exterior of the working field of the pliers themselves, said cart having two pegs (13, 13') respectively fit for engage each one of said outer raisings to cause the closing of the catches with the advancement of the cart by contrast against the outer raisings themselves, and pipe bending machine or rod or section bar bending machine that comprises it, with the jaw being integral with the matrix, as well as comprising a dragg

Abstract: An electric motor for portable machine tools, comprising an output shaft for operating, means for sensing the speed of said output shaft; means for sensing the magnitude and the phase of the input voltage of the electric motor itself; means for sensing the electric current absorbed by the load, microprocessor means programmed for processing the detected values sensed by said means for sensing; means for generating an acceleration ramp at the starting; means for generating a deceleration ramp at the stopping, as well as means for generating the cruise speed of the tool, voltage controlled by said microprocessor in response to said detected values processed by itself, and means for controlling the forward running, reverse running and the run storing.

Abstract: A coupling between the piston and cylinder controlling and actuating member and the bending head of a portable pipe bending machine comprising a collar (5) made up of two half collars (5', 5") with concavities complementary with the side wall of the cylinder (3), which are removably joined (6, 6') to each other to clamp the cylinder itself, one of them (5') being rigidly joined (6, 6') to the bending head (1), a coupling which is desired further comprises structure for preventing the axial displacement of the collar (5) upon the cylinder (3), particularly a groove (9', 9") on the collar and a complementary ridge (9) on the cylinder (3).

Abstract: A portable pipe-bending apparatus is electromechanically controlled to bend a pipe up to an angle of 180.degree. without providing any undesirable uneven stretching, also when the pipe is formed of a material which is particularly sensitive to stretching stresses. A driving motor-reducer is used which comprises a motor of low power and very high speed and a reduction gear with a very high reduction so as to rotate a semipulley main bending member, or matrix, having a peripheral semicircular groove. A second bending member, or countermatrix, faces the matrix and is supported by a supporting member which may be moved away or approached to the matrix at a distance in accordance with the diameter of the pipe to be bent.

Abstract: Portable manually-controlled hydraulic pipe-bending apparatus comprises a coupling head and reversible bending members to reverse the bending direction of a pipe relative to the apparatus. The coupling head has thereon two parallel pins for supporting the fixed bending member, and a piston stem that moves toward and away from the pins to support the movable member. The two arcuate bending members are provided with recesses to receive either the pins or the piston stem, thereby adapting them to reversible mounting for bending a tube in either of two opposite directions.
