Khanna, December 8

A team of 17 students of Gulzar Group of Institutes, Khanna, designed and fabricated a hydraulic pipe-bending machine featuring semi-automatic, flexible, low cost, easy to use, smooth running and accurate bending according to requirement.

The hydraulic bending press is one of the most flexible machines that allows a worker to shear, punch, bend, scroll and press thousands of various parts.

The operating procedure of this bending machine is simple when compared to other pipe-bending machines.

While congratulating the students, Chairman of the Gulzar Group of Institutes Gurcharan Singh said this machine was capable of bending one-inch pipe according to the diameter of roller or die used in the machine. Bending a pipe at an appropriate angle is done by using an angle plate. The operation is quite smooth, simple and flexible, hence better finished product.

This machine is also capable of achieving a high production rate compared to the manual or other pipe-bending methods available in the market at present.
