The machine includes: a bending head movable with at least two degrees of freedom in a transverse vertical plane; a first drive is arranged to move the bending head in the plane and to move a tool of the bending head between an open position, in which it defines with a die of the bending head a free space adapted to receive a tube to be bent, and a closed position, in which it clamps the tube against the die. A tube-carrying structure is rotatable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane; a second drive is arranged to cause the tube-carrying structure to rotate about its own axis of rotation; and an electronic control unit is arranged to control the first and second drives so as to move the bending head and the tube-carrying structure in a position such that the tube is received with a desired orientation in the free space between the die and the tool.

Tube bending machine with an automatic loading system and method for automatic loading of tubes on the bending head of a tube bending machine

A machine for bending threadlike material such as tubes, rods, profiles or metal wire comprises a machine bed, having parallel guides movably supporting a carriage for feeding, rotating and angularly locating the tube, the machine bed having a T-shape, the cross member of the T-shape body being provided, at the top and bottom thereof, with parallel guides supporting a controllably driven movable carriage having a bending head provided with a fixed shaft supporting, at the two end portions thereof, bending dies with corresponding swinging bending arms, the bending head being supported by a horizontal shaft and being adapted to be controllably driven about the axis of the horizontal shaft.
