The usage of chisel and hammer was an earlier practice used for rebar bending. The rebar is held fixed with the help of three thick rebars over a rebar bender bench. Then the bending is done by means of manual force, operated with the help of levers. To tie the rods, cutting pliers were used, and tied by steel wires.

The enormous demand for work and bars with large diameters have made to depend on machines for bar bending. This improved method helps in the reduction of time consumed by an ordinary method.

Different Types of Rebar Equipment are:

The different equipment that is used for rebar based on cutting, bending and tying operation are explained below.

Equipment Used for Bending of Reinforcement Bars

1. Electric Automatic Rebar Benders

This machine helps to bend the bars either on-site or at the workshops, based on the convenience. The machine is noiseless. It operates only during the bending procedure.

2. Spiral Hoop Radial Benders

This machine is used to get a radius in the bars that are of higher diameter. It has rotating rollers, of which one is adjustable to hold the bars.
