Abstract
A pipe bending system for bending a length of pipe, using a pair of bending assemblies, each bending assembly having a hub having a central shaft having an outer circumference and a central shaft, and a roller assembly mounted for orbital movement around the outer circumference under the power of a motor. The roller assembly has a roller whereby the length of pipe is placed between the roller and outer circumference. When the roller assembly is moved around the hub, the pipe is bent to follow the outer circumference. The bending assemblies are mounted in proximity to each other to create complex bends in the pipe.
