Abstract

The bending device comprises a hydraulic motor for moving a feeding table, and a hydraulic circuit including first and second switching valves which can be selectively switched between a speed control channel for supplying operating oil from a discharge-rate variable hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor by way of a servo valve and a pressure control channel for supplying high pressure operating oil from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor. When the feeding table provided with a chuck mechanism gripping a longitudinal material is moved to a bending mechanism to bend the material, control of the speed and application of axial compressive force can be conducted by switching of the first and second switching valves.
