U Bending Machine: Applications, Benefits, Features and Specifications

U-bending machines are used to manufacture U-shaped TMT rebars frosteel-reinforced bars. U-shaped rebars are extensively used in all types of reinforced concrete works and structural reinforcement. Use of a U-bending machine gives uniformity in shape and reduces the labour and time-intensive manual bending process. Due to rising labour costs, the use of U-bending machines is expected to become more prevalent in the future. The JAYMAC U-bending machine from Jaypee India Limited is designed to U-bend TMT bars and other rebars. JAYMAC heavy-duty U-Benders have the capacity to U-bend rebars from size 12mm to 32 mm, which is further customisable.

Technical Data

Why choose our JAYMAC U-bending machine for your projects?

The U-bending machine is chosen based on the volume of rebar processing, the diameter of the bar, the required production speed, the availability of manpower, and the expected consistency of the finished bends. The JAYMAC U-bending machine is designed to satisfy the above requirements of a fabrication yard and construction-related activities by means of hydraulic bending in a rugged and simple design. Constant and repeated manual U-bending of larger diameter reinforcement bars requires a considerable physical effort. U-bending machine saves a considerable amount of manual effort, thus benefiting workers to process a larger number of bars in a bending cycle. JAYMAC’s specifications state that the machine can bend 5 numbers. 20mm diameter rebars at a time. Our U-bending machine also provides economical power consumption, increased bending speed and decreased production time. The cycle time for U-bending is approximately 15 seconds.

JAYMAC offers UB 30 and UB 40 U-bending machines. Both models implement a full hydraulic system and can bend rebars from 12mm to 32mm. The equipment provides an optional automatic bar-feeding arrangement that eliminates manual bar feeding and avoids errors in the process. The equipment is robust to endure use in continuously demanding industrial environments where the equipment may be required to operate for extended periods.

Precision engineering and quality assurance in the construction of U-bending machine 

The performance of a U-bending machine depends on its build quality, bending mechanism, and other fabrication requirements. JAYMAC heavy-duty TMT U-bending machine is designed in a way to apply controlled force at the desired location. Our U-bending machine is built under the brand name JAYMAC at its facility near Kolkata that houses a dedicated Research & Development (R&D) team, machine tool room, fabrication and assembly facilities, together with an in-house quality control team. We are the best innovators for such allied equipment, and at many levels we check every small thing, like verifying the raw materials procured to maintain our quality and standards. 

We assure the best quality of engineering along with proper integration of various systems that include mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, and safety measures. This also means that quality checking of raw materials, fabrication, machining, and assembly is performed to the highest standards, and that the final test run of the machine is carefully done to check the performance standards along with safety features for the operator. 

How to choose the right U-bending machine for your projects

When deciding on a U-bending machine, the main factors to consider are:

1. The volume of rebars that require bending.
2. The bending capacity of the machine.
3. It is also important to look at the power requirement.
4. Lastly, availability of service and spare parts can also affect total cost of ownership.
5. The maximum bar diameter that needs to be bent.

A U-bending machine works alongside a regular rebar bender, bar cutting machine, radius bender, bar straightening and decoiling machine, and other allied equipment, dimensions, types of hydraulics, and method of feeding. JAYMAC U-bending machine provides a one-stop solution for all U-bending requirements of a fabrication yard.

Frequently asked questions (F&Q’s)

1. Which is the best U Bending Machine for TMT bar processing?

The JAYMAC U Bending Machine automatically produces U-shaped bends in TMT reinforcement bars. It is available in UB 30 and higher capacity UB 40 models. UB 30 can bend TMT bars up to 28 mm in diameter, while UB 40 can bend rebars up to 32 mm.

2. What is the maximum capacity of a JAYMAC U Bending Machine?

The JAYMAC UB 30 can bend TMT bars with a diameter of up to 28 mm, while UB 40 can bend TMT bars with a diameter of up to 32 mm. The machine can bend up to five 20 mm diameter rebars in one operation, depending upon the configured settings and operating conditions.

3. How many TMT bars can an automatic U Bending Machine bend at a time?

JAYMAC U Bending Machine can bend up to five TMT bars of 20 mm diameter at a time. This multi-bar bending feature is very effective in improving productivity in high-volume rebar processing operations and at the same time reduces the need for manual labour.

4. What are the motor power and bending speed of the JAYMAC U Bending Machine?

The JAYMAC UB 30 has a 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor, and the UB 40 has a 7.5 HP (5.5 kW) motor. Full hydraulic systems are used on both models. Both can perform an industrial level of rebar processing with a maximum U-bending time of about 15 seconds per operation.

5. Where can I buy a U Bending Machine in India for commercial rebar processing?

You can contact Jaypee India Limited to enquire about the JAYMAC UB 30 and UB 40 U Bending Machines. Made at a facility near Kolkata, India, these machines, manufactured by Jaypee India Limited, are meant for TMT rebar processing. For the cost of these machines, availability of the models, delivery and installation, and other after-sales support, contact the company as per your requirements.
