  • Method and device for profile bending
    Patent number: 9227236
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for the planar and spatial bending of rod-shaped components (2) having a longitudinal axis, such as pipes and profiles, including two roller systems A and B that are disposed behind each other along the longitudinal axis, wherein the component is driven by the roller system A and inserted into the roller system B, and is bent by a movement of the roller system B in a transverse direction to the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped components (2). A device is also provided for the planar and spatial bending of rod-shaped components (2) having a longitudinal axis, such as pipes and profiles, including two roller systems A and B, wherein feed along the longitudinal axis can be effected via the roller system A, and the roller systems A, B are disposed in at least one first plane E1 in a displaceable manner relative to each other, wherein at least one of the roller systems A, B can be pivoted about the longitudinal axis.
