Pneumatic Bending Jig for 10mm Stainless Steel Rod Frames
Gear-indexed pneumatic bending jig forming 10mm stainless steel rod into U-frames. Manual positioning with powered bending - fast setup for small batches.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Stainless steel rod, 10 mm diameter
Key Features
- Pneumatic power bends 10mm solid stainless easily
- Gear-ring index gives precise repeat angles
- Operator positions rod; machine supplies force
- Jig changeover suits small batch variety
Is There a Middle Ground Between Hand Jigs and CNC Benders?
Short answer: Yes - the pneumatic bending jig. This video shows 10mm stainless steel rods formed into U-frames on a gear-indexed station: the operator positions the part, an air cylinder supplies the bending force.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Element | Role | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gear ring index | Sets bend angles | Repeat precision |
| Pneumatic cylinder | Supplies force | 10 mm rod made easy |
| Manual positioning | Operator loads | Fast changeover |
| Forming pins/rollers | Locate legs | Consistent frames |
When to Choose a Pneumatic Jig
| Situation | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Prototype / one-off | Hand jig |
| Small varied batches | Pneumatic jig (shown) |
| High volume single part | CNC bender |
FAQ
How accurate is a gear-index jig? The indexed disc locks each bend angle mechanically, so repeatability approaches CNC levels for simple frames.
Can the same station handle mild steel and aluminum? Yes - air pressure and pin layout adjust for material and diameter.
