 ABSTRACT

The aim of this project is to usage of bending machine to bending rods for stirrups which are
used to withstand loads in beam and columns. Stirrups both end bend with 90 degrees right
angle. The main objective of our project is to implement the hydraulic rod bending machine
in the construction sites with less cost compared to the existing bending machines, and
increasing the productivity of the stirrups. The design of the automatic metal stripping and
bending machine will utilize subsystems which together compose the machine. Design of the
machine is performed using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to produce a 3D model
of the machine.

 Introduction:
The world is focusing into automation. Each and every work of human is reduced by a
machine. Automation of a manufacturing process plays a vital role in reducing a company's
production costs. The primary reasons for automating a manufacturing process are reducing
labor costs, reducing waste, improving quality, increasing repeatability, reducing employee
injuries, and allowing uninterrupted production. The project involving automation of
stripping and bending the rod and stirrups is proposed in Reference [1]. A current market
need for such a machine exists in the stirrups bending, as can be seen from the multi-rod
cutting and bending machine manufactured by lot of industries [2].

This project is to bend the rod at the specified dimensions which is used in the building
construction which called as Stirrups. Stirrup is an important reinforced element which acts
as a shear reinforcement. Presently, stirrups are made manually, which suffers from many
drawbacks like lack of accuracy, low productivity and resulting into severe fatigue in the
operator. so we need to bend stirrups perfect accuracy with a huge production.

Bending machine presented in this report is to produce construction rod with both ends bent
at 90 degree. this rod lengths varying from 36 inches, and the stirrups diameter is 10 to 12
mm. The production rate of this machine is 100 rod per hours. The automation of this process
serves to replace the manual human operations previously used to hand manual stirrups
bending.

 History:
In the past years all types of construction work are depend upon construction material, in
this material tmt bars are mostly used in construction construction works for column,
beam, sealing etc. this tmt bar always bent by people in past time and recent time. This
process will be take more time and take more workers for simple works. All types of
bending machine available in market at high cost that small types of construction works
can’t afford this machine, and this machines are for the large diameter tmt bars, but for
the having a 8mm,10mm, and 12mm diameter tmt bars mostly used in shape of square,
and rectangular shape. This types of bends always bent by workers as shown as following
Images. in this images bends tmt bars by hands, so we trying to make a bending machine
for this types of tmd rods.after this bending machine we cant save time.

 Specific Application of tot Bars:

1) 8mm diameter tot bars: this types of bar mostly used to connect the vertical
rods of columns, and horizontal rods of beam. This rods used in different types of
shape like circular, square, rectangular, triangle etc. it is commonly used in
making houses, walls, complexes.

2)10mm diameter tmt bars: this types of bars used in making of stairs and
different construction shape working for connecting the column and beam rods. It
is use in making of tall building, colleges etc.

3) 12mm diameter tmt bars: 12mm diameter rods use for heavy
construction, bridges and also for special types of stairs and sealing.

Page | 14
 Machine Description:
The machine is designed based on the principle of Hydraulic system. The hydraulic load has
more power compare to the other type of loads like pneumatic and electric. By using heavy
loads we can increase the productivity of the product. The manual stirrup making process
suffers from the many drawbacks. The construction worker is not able to bend a rod in
perfect shapes and dimension .So we used a bending machine to bend a rod and machine is
better than human hands and its works perfectly and fast.
In this machine used subsystems are:

1. Free length and 12mm dia. bent a rod subsystem

2. Electric motor 0.5 hp subsystem
3. used a double acting hydraulic cylinder
4. Rack & Pinion mechanism
5. Automatic cutting a rod and bending subsystem
6. Rotate wise as 360 degree subsystem
7. Direction control valve subsystem

PART 1: Double Acting Piston Type Hydraulic cylinder

 Hydraulic cylinders are linear actuators which converts fluid power into mechanical
power. Hydraulic cylinders are used at high pressures and produced large forces and
precise movement. for this reason they are constructed of strong material such as steel
and designed to withstand large forces.

Fig.1.1 Hydraulic cylinder

Page | 18
 A hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylindrical barrel, piston, and a piston rod. The piston
that is placed within the barrel is connected to the piston rod. The cylinder bottom, and
the cylinder head, closes the bottom and the head of the barrel respectively. The cylinder
head is the side from where the piston rod exits the cylinder.
 The cylinder bottom and the piston rod are mounted with mounting brackets or clevises.
The piston in the hydraulic cylinder consists of sliding rings and seals. The piston rod
chamber and the bottom chamber are the two chambers within the cylinder.
 The piston rod starts moving outwards, as the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the bottom
side of the hydraulic cylinder. In the reverse process, the hydraulic fluid is pushed back
into the reservoir by the piston. The pressure in the cylinder is the ratio of unit force per
unit piston area.
 The pressure generated in the piston rod chamber is the ratio of the unit load per the
difference in the unit piston area and unit piston rod area. This calculation is used when
the hydraulic fluid is let into the piston rod chamber as well as the fluid flows smoothly
(without pressure) from the piston area to the reservoir. In this way, the expansion and
retraction (push and pull) action of the hydraulic cylinder is generated.
 The fluid system of hydraulic is shown in figure

Fig.1.2 Fluid system of Hydraulic pump

Page | 19
 Fig.1.3 Detail About the Double acting hydraulic cylinder

 In the double acting cylinders, the pressure from the fluid is applied in both the directions.
Single cylinders that consist of springs are not used in large stroke applications because
there are inherent mechanical problems associated with the spring.

Page | 20
 Calculation Of double acting Hydraulic cylinder

Fig.1.4
 The force produced by a double acting hydraulic piston on the rod side can be expressed
as:

F1 = (π (d22 - d12) / 4) P1

Where

F1 = rod pull force (lb, N)

d1 = rod diameter (in, m)

d2 = piston diameter (in, m)

P1 = pressure in the cylinder (rod side) (lff/in2 (psi), N/m2 (Pa))

 The force produced opposite the rod can be expressed as:

F2 = (π d22 / 4) P2
Where
F2 = rod push force (lb, N)
P2 = pressure in the cylinder (opposite rod) (lff/in2 (psi), N/m2 (Pa))

Page | 21
PART 2: Vane Pump

A rotary vane pump is a positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a

rotor that rotates inside of a cavity. In some cases these vanes can be variable length and/or
tensioned to maintain contact with the walls as the pump rotates. It was invented by Charles
C. Barnes of Sackville, New Brunswick who patented it on June 16, 1874.

Fig .1.5 Rotary Vane pump

 The simplest vane pump is a circular rotor rotating inside of a larger circular cavity. The
centers of these two circles are offset, causing eccentricity. Vanes are allowed to slide
into and out of the rotor and seal on all edges, creating vane chambers that do the
pumping work. On the intake side of the pump, the vane chambers are increasing in
volume. These increasing volume vane chambers are filled with fluid forced in by the
inlet pressure. Inlet pressure is actually the pressure from the system being pumped, often
just the atmosphere. On the discharge side of the pump, the vane chambers are decreasing
in volume, forcing fluid out of the pump. The action of the vane drives out the same

Page | 22
 volume of fluid with each rotation. Multistage rotary vane vacuum pumps can attain
pressures as low as 10−6 mbar (0.0001 Pa).
 While vane pumps can handle moderate viscosity liquids, they excel at handling low
viscosity liquids such as LP gas (propane), ammonia, solvents, alcohol, fuel oils, gasoline,
and refrigerants. Vane pumps have no internal metal-to-metal contact and self-
compensate for wear, enabling them to maintain peak performance on these non-
lubricating liquids. Though efficiency drops quickly, they can be used up to 500 cPs /
2,300 SSU.

PART 3: Pressure Relief Valve:

 The pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of valve used to control or limit the pressure in a
system or vessel which can build up by a process upset, instrument or equipment failure.

 The pressure is relieved by allowing the pressurized fluid to flow from an auxiliary
passage out of the system. The relief valve is designed or set to open at a predetermined
set pressure to protect pressure vessels and other equipment from being subjected to
pressures that exceed their design limits.

 In high-pressure hydraulic systems, it is recommended that the outlet of the relief valve is
in the open air. In systems where the outlet is connected to piping, the opening of a relief
valve will give a pressure build up in the piping system downstream of the relief valve.
This often means that the relief valve will not re-seat once the set pressure is reached. For
these systems often so called "differential" relief valves are used.

 Many electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic systems exist today to control fluid system
variables, such as pressure, temperature and flow. Each of these systems requires a power
source of some type, such as electricity or compressed air in order to operate. A pressure
relief valve must be capable of operating at all times, especially during a period of power
failure when system controls are nonfunctional. The sole source of power for the pressure
relief valve, therefore, is the process fluid.

Fig.1.7&1.8 Pressure relief Valve

Page | 26
PART 4: Direction control valve-4/3 (P-40)

 A direction control hydraulic valve properly directs the flow of a liquid medium, usually
oil, through your hydraulic system. The direction of the oil flow is determined by the
position of a spool. A hydraulic system can only function - as per requirements - by using
valves. Thus, you should always look for the correct type of hydraulic valve to serve your
intended purpose.

 Directional control valves can control the start, stop and change in direction of flow of a
pressure medium (i.e. hydraulic oil). For this reason, they are also referred to as switching
valves. Directional control valves are available as spool valves, poppet valves or rotary
slide valves. Rotary slide valves, however, are no longer commonly used due to low
operating pressure (up to 70 bar).

Fig.1.9 Direction Control Valve

Page | 27
PART 5: Pressure Gauge:

 Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure. Instruments used
to measure pressure are called pressure gauges.

 A hydraulic pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure in a hydraulic—which is

further divided into two subcategories, high and low pressure (and sometimes ultra-high
hydraulic pressure). The applicable pressure range of many of the techniques used to
measure hydraulic pressure have an overlap. Hence, by combining several different types
of pressure gauge, it is possible to measure system pressure continuously from 10 mbar
down to 10−11 mbar.

Fig.1.10 Pressure Gauge

Page | 28
PART 6:Tank 20 litters:

 Tank is a the storage of substances or fluids. In our case the tank must retain the total
quantity of hydraulic oil, which is located in the hydraulic system. in addition the
hydraulic tank should compensate for oil level oscillation due temperature changes or
possible leakage from the system.

 Welded construction steel oil tanks are produced from 2mm thick sheet steel. they are
strong and robust in design and are finished to a high quality.

 The oil tanks are painted black primer and have an integrated mounting bracket for easy
in installation.

 In this project oil tank are pneumatically pressure tested to ensure they are supplied leak
free.

Fig.1.11 Hydraulic Oil Tank

Page | 29
PART 7:Filters:

 Filters are an important part of hydraulic systems. Metal particles are continually
produced by mechanical components and need to be removed along with other
contaminants.

 Filters may be positioned in many locations. The filter may be located between the
reservoir and the pump intake. Blockage of the filter will cause cavitation and possibly
failure of the pump. Sometimes the filter is located between the pump and the control
valves. This arrangement is more expensive, since the filter housing is pressurized, but
eliminates cavitation problems and protects the control valve from pump failures. The
third common filter location is just before the return line enters the reservoir. This
location is relatively insensitive to blockage and does not require a pressurized housing,
but contaminants that enter the reservoir from external sources are not filtered until
passing through the system at least once.

Fig.1.12 Filter

Page | 30
Fig.1.13 Hydraulic Filter

Page | 31
PART 8: Hoses:

 A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another.
Hoses are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube,
whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape of a hose is
usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section).

 Hose design is based on a combination of application and performance. Common factors

are Size, Pressure Rating, Weight, Length, Straight hose or Coil hose and Chemical
Compatibility.

 An oil line is a hose used to bring oil from one point in a pump to another or from a
hydraulic storage tank . It is commonly made of reinforced rubber to prevent splitting and
kinking.

Fig.1.14 Hoses

Page | 32
 Hydraulic hoses can turn forces from a few ounces of pressure into hundreds of tons of
output. Using hydraulic hoses, hydraulic machines can create very powerful low speed
torque and manage speed and movement of machines with extreme accuracy. A single
hydraulic pump or compressor can, through hydraulic hoses power many different
machines and machine functions at widely varying power levels at the same time.
Hydraulic powered machines can operate safely in areas where there are flammable
vapors and electrical or electronic devices could set off explosions.

Fig.1.15 Hydraulic Hoses

 Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure to drive machinery. Hoses that fail at high
pressures can whip about with extreme violence and injure bystanders or machine
operators. Hydraulic hoses should be checked and replaced according to manufacturer’s
recommendations.

 Every hose has specific ratings for specific types of fluid they are designed to carry,
working temperature ranges and pressure limits for that specific hose. Usually they are
printed on the hose or fittings. In some case they print a model number on the hose and
provide a spec sheet for the various models.

 Working Principle:

 The bending machine equipment can be in the full-length bend Rod controlled within 90°.
According to shape requirements, we can also complete work-piece without re-
positioning on the device equipped with 914.4mm long stirrups.

Machine work to bend stirrups into L-shape and Square shape also can band into a
circular shape. The rod is bent with the help of hydraulic force, because the power of
hydraulics is very large the main aim of our project is to increase the productivity so with
the help of hydraulic force we can able to bend 2-4 rods depending upon the diameter.

 In the older machines are rectified in that case we place a rod for bending in the existing
system we have to reposition the rod for every bend, but in our Machine once the rod is
placed we need not reposition the rod for all bends. This is done by a special attachment
of coupling the pinion wheel of a rack and pinion set to a freewheel, the function of the
freewheel is to change the position of the table to90 degrees. When the hydraulic cylinder
in the forward stroke the freewheel slips and hold the fixture table at the time the rod is
bent. In return stroke of the cylinder the rack rotates the pinion which is connected to the
freewheel turns the table to 90 degrees.

 Working:

Machine Assembly & working

 The hydraulic based parts used for bending operation has been designed and shown in the
Figure the components that are used in the construction of the kit are listed in the Table
No.1
 In this hydraulic machine process the oil is initially stored in 20 litter tank.
A filter air breather is mounted on the tank for filling the air passing into the reservoir and
straining the oil while filling the reservoir. After this process suction strainer use to suck
an oil into the tank. An electrical motor of 2HP is coupled to vane pump to drive the fluid.
the speed of the rotation of the pump, a vacuum is created which make the oil to be
sucked and raised into the system. The pressure of oil depends upon the speed of the
system. The pressurized oil passes through an inline check valve that prevents the return
flow of the oil into the pump. This is followed by a pressure line filter to filter the oil
from dust partials.
 A from the effect caused by excess pressure this limit, the valve get activated and releases
the excess pressure. The flow from these valves is measured using a pressure gauge
mounted on the pipe line and it can be adjusted. The pressurised oil then enters the
Directional Control Valve (P-40). The DCV used here is a P-40 4/3 Joystick operated
spring centred DCV. At other end of DCV is connected to a Double acting cylinder. This
cylinder is involved in the bending operation. When the left spool is activated, the oil
flows into the piston end the of the cylinder causing the extension of the cylinder. The
extension force of the cylinder is used for bending operation. Once the bending is
completed, the right spool is activated. This causes the retraction of the cylinder. This
process is repeated for bending stirrups controlled manually.

Page | 36
Rack & Pinion:

 A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a pair of gears which convert
rotational motion into linear motion. A circular gear called "the pinion" engages teeth on
a linear "gear" bar called "the rack"; rotational motion applied to the pinion causes the
rack to move, thereby translating the rotational motion of the pinion into the linear motion
of the rack.

 In this system use of rack and pinion mechanism is only for a rotate a fixture at 90 degree.

 The rack carries the full load of the actuator directly and so the driving pinion is usually
small, so that the gear ratio reduces the torque required. This force, thus torque, may still
be substantial and so it is common for there to be a reduction gear immediately before this
by either a gear or worm gear reduction. Rack gears have a higher ratio, thus require a
greater driving torque, than screw actuators.

Fig.1.16 Rack & Pinion

Page | 37
 The need of rack and pinion in our set up is to turn the table to 90 degree for this
arrangement the pinion circumference for the pinion is calculated based on the stroke
length of the piston.

 Machine Process:

 Main purpose of this is bend a rod without using a human hands. when the system is on
The first is motor switched on and pump is start. pump work is pumping a hydraulic oil
and oil flows into the piston end of the cylinder. Now hydraulic pump start then extension
force of the hydraulic cylinder. direction control valve is activated manually in the
forward side this operation makes the piston cylinder back. cylinder is move again and
the freewheel is coupled to the pinion rotated and rack is connected to the piston as the
piston moves the rack also slides in forward motion the freewheel slips and does not
make the table to rotate. Now it is return stroke and fixture rotate at 90 degree clockwise
for making the machine ready for next bending operation without repositioning the rods.
Bended rod removed and next rod is ready to bend.

Page | 42
 Conclusion

 The concepts behind the design of the whole machine system, which together as a whole
function as the rod cutting and bending automatic machine, are to produce a product
which would require minimum setup time for different shapes and rod lengths, hands free
operation, and minimum maintenance. In the original rack and pinion concepts there is
bend rod of any shapes. These ideas were not implemented due to the thought that it
would result in machine setup and programming, greater cost, and possibly greater
maintenance requirements. the components designed and selected for the automatic
bending machine are sufficient for performing the motions of the machine without failure.

Page | 43
 SCOPE OF WORK
