MANUALLY OPERATED HYDRAULIC

PIPE BENDING MACHINE


INTRODUCTION
• Pipe bending operations are carried out
frequently in industries since pipes are
required to be bent into respective shapes
• The major applications vary from small scale
industries such as small fabrication workshops
to large hydraulic manufacturer industries
PROBLEM DEFINITION
• The pipe bending machines are costly
• No small scale machines available
• As a result most of the pipe bending
operations are outsourced
• This results in increased cost of the product
and lesser profits
OBJECTIVES
• To develop an economical portable pipe
bending machine which can be used fo r
bending the pipes in small workshops
• To make the machine hydraulic operated so that
it can easily bend different pipes with less effort
• To make the machine economical and portable
so that It can be easily afforded by small scale
industries.
CURRENT SYSTEMS
• Large and costlier
machines exist
• The figure is of
semiautomatic
hydraulic pipe
bending machine
CURRENT SYSTEMS
• Manual machine exist
which do not used
hydraulics, yet the cost of
such machines is also
approximately 60000 Rs
• In addition effort required
is more since it is not
hydraulic
WORKING PRINCIPLE
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• The project involves development of manually operated pipe
bending machine using hydraulics.
• As shown in the illustrations, the project consists of a pipe
bending setup. The manually operated hydraulic hand pump is
used to drive the hydraulic cylinder.
• The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the fabricated frame and
the other end of the hydraulic cylinder consists of a pipe
bending die which will be fabricated as a part of this project.
• The pipe bending die is made in two parts, the movable as well
as stationary die. The pipe is fed into the die and hydraulic force
is applied using the hydraulic hand pump to bend the pipe.
METHODOLOGY
• The literature review:
This is the initial phase of the project and most important one. Before beginning with the
project a number of research papers are studied to study a detailed literature of the
currently existing systems. The study was further analyzed to find the advantages and
disadvantages of the currently existing systems.

• The Market survey:


After the literature study the market survey will be done to find the most suitable
materials for the project. The chosen materials should properly fit the application to be
designed as well as economical so that it can be easily implemented by everyone.
 
• The chassis Modeling:
In this phase the brief outline of the selected concept is done. The modeling is done using
a 3D modeling software and then the chassis fabrication activity is undertaken. The
chassis is of prime focus since chassis handles all the loads arising form the pipe bending
operation.
METHODOLOGY
• The Fabrication:
Once the modeling is ready, the next step would be development and fabrication
activities. The fabrication processes involves cutting, Drilling , Grinding and
welding operations. The chassis is fabricated and then the pipe bending
mechanism is incorporated onto the chassis.
• The hydraulic System incorporation :
The hydraulic system is selected for the pipe bending operation. The selection of
hydraulic system involves appropriate cylinder and oil pumping systems..
• The pipe bending Die:
The pipe bending die is fabricated in this phase which is responsible for pipe
bending operations.
• Assembly and testing
This is the final operation where the pipe bending machine components
fabricated below are assembled to form a fully functional pipe bending machine.
Components Used
• The following components are
used for the purpose of
fabrication of Pipe Bending
machine
• Hydraulic Cylinder: The
Hydraulic cylinder provides
the necessary force required
to bend the pipe. The
hydraulic cylinder is mounted
Horizontally and is a double
acting cylinder.
Components Used
• The oil pumping systems.
– The oil pumping system is used to
pressurize the oil in hydraulic cylinder
thereby making the movement of
hydraulic cylinder to and fro.
Components Used
• The chassis .
– The chassis forms the structural
component on which all the other
components are mounted.
– The chassis forms a medium for
transferring the entire load to ground.
– The chassis is fabricated using ERW steel
Operations required
• The following operations are required
for the fabrication of pipe bending
machine.
– Cutting
– Welding
– Turning
– Gas cutting etc.
ADVANTAGES
• 1. Can be used in small scale and medium scale
industries for the purpose of pipe bending
operations.
• 2. Since this machine is manually operated, it
doesn’t require any power source to operate
• 3. It works on hydraulics, Hence can be operated
with minimum efforts
• 4. Economical.
