2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE.

• The DEL bending machines have been manufactured to bend flat and reinforced steel bars used for construction
and passive steel armatures for structural concrete. The bending operation is done in cold using mandrills to
guarantee the bending interior diameter is conforming to the European norms.
• The combined machines bending/cutting models COMBI are designed to bend as well as cut steel bars. The
cutting tools are two blades, one fixed and one moving. The cutting operation is done manually by pushing the
bar on the roller, dropping the bar into the cutting throat, lowering the protection guard and pressing the pedal.
• DEL and COMBI TRONIC models are equipped with a controller and a Wifi router that connects the controller to
many mobile devices (mobile phones, tablets or laptops). These models can operate in manual mode in the
same way as the conventional DEL and COMBI models but can also operate in automatic mode through mobile
device application (App). This App allows the user to program bending angles, store and load bending programs,
count the bars bent, run a check mode to test the different machine components , manage what users will have
access to the machine, display the time that the machine is been on and running, block the machine in a preset
date or by time-of-use, code unlock and remote lock / unlock (remote lock / unlock is possible via accessory
not included as standard).
Any other use of this machine is considered inadequate and can be dangerous. Thus, this is
completely prohibited.
• The machine is equipped with an electrical auto-ventilated motor-brake.
• The reducer is the main element of the machine. It is responsible for transmitting the needed energy to carry
out the steel bars bending.
• The machine is operated by an electrical motor that passes the movement, by a transmission to the bending
mechanism in which the different mandrills are mounted.
• The bending plate can be selected to work in two different directions, left or right, by changing the direction
of rotation in the electrical control panel.
• The bending angle can be decided by inserting the pivot in the bending plate. For a more precise bending, the
ruler can be accurately adjusted by its handle.
• The commands panel is endowed with polyester, electrical knobs easily identified by pictograms.
• The machine is equipped with shutdown and backward movement buttons to facilitate its manoeuvre. The
emergency knobs on both sides of the machine can be used in case of danger or incorrect manoeuvres.
• The general bars bending manoeuvre is performed in low-voltage (24V) according to the European standards.
• The original equipment (bolts, mandrels bending square) are heat-treated to withstand the tough type of
work the machine performs.
