A Bend & Rebend Tester Machine is specifically designed to assess the bend and rebend performance of steel rebar and similar materials used in construction. This type of machine is critical for evaluating the mechanical properties of reinforced steel bars, ensuring they meet necessary safety and quality standards for construction projects.

Key Features:

1. Versatile Testing Capabilities: The machine can perform both bending and rebending tests on steel bars, typically ranging in diameter from 5.5 mm to 50 mm depending on the model.
2. Compliance with Standards: It adheres to various international standards such as ASTM A615, ASTM E290, BS4449, DIN 488-2, and ISO 15630-1, ensuring the tests are reliable and standardized across different regions and applications.

Technical Specifications:

• Bending Angle: Up to 180 degrees.
• Rebending Angle: Typically up to 90 degrees.
• Rotational Speed: Around 3.0-3.7 RPM.
• Power Requirements: Usually 380V, 3-phase, but can be customized.
• Dimensions and Weight: These machines are generally compact, but the size can vary. For instance, a common model might have dimensions around 1050 × 750 × 1200 mm and weigh approximately 700-1700 kg.

The primary use of a Bend & Rebend Tester is in construction and steel manufacturing industries, where it ensures that the reinforcing bars meet the necessary mechanical performance criteria for structural integrity and safety.the
