Operation
RBM 1305-15 E | Version 1.02
11
The machine is designed for steel processing and not
for processing flammable or harmful substances. The
customer is responsible for the choice of the material to
be processed.
It must also be ensured that the safety of nearby operat-
ing personnel is ensured.
The material should meet the following requirements:
- Dry and clean, free of oil.
- The diameter must correspond to the specifica-
tions.
- The material should have a degree of hardness
throughout.
- Buying high quality material is advisable.
- The surface of the areas to be bent should be
smooth.
The RBM 1305-15 E round bending machine has three
rollers driven by an electric motor and a gearbox. There-
fore, the bending process is simple and smooth; how-
ever, some experience is needed to work efficiently.
A complete bend with one pass is not possible. To get
the desired radius, several passes are required. Tighter
bends and full radii always require several passes.
In order to be able to remove a bent workpiece from the
machine, the right-hand lock of the upper roller must be
released and the upper roller must be removed from the
guide.

8.1 Work process
Step 1: Before starting the machine, the lock of the top
roller must be checked.
Step 2: Check the parallelism of the rollers with a gauge
and spirit level.

Step 3: Clean the rollers and the workpiece.
Step 4: Turn on the main switch. The operating display
lights up.
Step 5: Press the START button.
Step 6: Press the pedals to activate the rollers.
Step 7: Perform bending operation.
Step 8: Stop the rollers after completing the bending
process. Move roller down.
Step 9: Release the upper roller lock, fold out the upper
roller and remove the workpiece. Use a crane to
support the workpiece.
NOTE!
To be observed before commissioning:
- The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage
specifications on the rating plate.
- The safety devices as well as the protective covers
must be functional.
NOTE!
It is important to thoroughly clean the rollers to avoid
possible slippage of the profile due to grease resi-
dues on the rollers.
Wear protective gloves!
Wear safety boots!
Wear protective clothes!
