5 types of Rebar Bender Used in Construction

Rebar bender is a machine widely used in building and construction to bend bars made of steel and other heavy metals. It is considered as one of the most economical materials in the construction. Rebar contains long steel shafts that can require bending before used in the construction. Different types of bender machines are applied for bending the rebar in the construction industry. All the types of bender differ in design and engineering, strength, technology and use. Apart from bending steel bars, the different machines also provide unique functions and capabilities on the basis of the task that is needed to perform. 

We should use proper rebar bending techniques for the reliability of the rebar structure. While using the tools for bending rebar, we should wear safety equipment like proper eye protection, long sleeves shirts, hearty boots and gloves. The place where you are doing the bending process should be a large and open space that is free from other people and difficulty. 

Manual Rebar Bender

We can use manual rebar benders in many cases and bending rebar properly using this bender depends on leverage. Manual benders can bend rebar depending upon the strength of the people by pushing down on a lever. They are still applied in concrete construction. The diameter of rebar should also be kept in consideration while using manual bender. It can only bend rebar having diameter up to 63 mm. Manual benders are easy to work apart from requiring manual strength.With the help of a bar and pipe also we can bend rebar but this process needs experienced users to perform the task safely. 

Portable Rebar Bender

Many portable rebar benders are available in the market and you can select the type of bender depending on the type of job you are working. The bender capabilities, its power requirements, portability and time taken by bender for the operation should be considered before purchasing it.  Most of the construction professionals purchase rebar benders that fulfill a variety of needs.

This type of rebar bender is capable of executing rebar bends accurately without damaging the strength of the metal rods.They are easy to use and carry. They are applied in reinforced concrete construction which can bend rebars in angles on the basis of the design needs. Portable benders are able to bend different different sizes and grades of rebar.

Electric Rebar Bender

Electric rebar benders are widely applied in reinforced concrete construction which can bend rebars in various arcs and angles on the basis of the design needs.Electric benders are able to bend different different sizes and grades of rebar. This type of benders are electrically powered and are convenient to use.

Hydraulic Rebar Bender

Hydraulic rebar bender is a type of bender that applies hydraulic force to bend the steel bars. This type of bender also provides flexibility and is easy to operate. Different sizes and diameters of rebars that ranges from 4 mm to 60 mm can bend using hydraulic rebar bender. This bender bends the steel bars uniformly and accurately.

Automatic Rebar Bender

An automatic rebar bender is a type of bender that provides the benefit of automatic numerical control which automatically adjusts gears providing easy switching between the desired bending angles. It is easy to use and contains numerical control panels that provide accurate rebar bending. 

These were the various types of rebar bender used in construction industry which are used to bend rebars of various diameters maintaining the reliability of the rebar structure. They also provide safety and are convenient to use.
