Baileigh R-H85 Roll Bender
The Baileigh R-H85 is a professional grade hydraulic double pinch roll bender designed to dramatically reduce material waste while delivering precision bends in pipes, tubes, angles, and flat bars up to 3" schedule 40 pipe capacity.
Are you tired of throwing away money on scrap metal at the start and finish of every bend? The R-H85 solves this costly problem with its innovative double pinch design. Unlike traditional single pinch roll benders, this machine features one fixed top roll and two independently controlled bottom rolls, allowing you to pre bend and post bend your material. This means you can work the metal all the way to the ends, eliminating those frustrating straight segments that usually end up in the scrap bin.
Built in Portugal with heavy duty steel plate construction that's both bolted and welded, the R-H85 is engineered to handle full capacity bending day after day without flexing or losing accuracy. The industrial grade hydraulic transmission drives all three rolls simultaneously, ensuring smooth, consistent bending action across your entire workpiece. Whether you're running a custom fabrication shop, working in automotive manufacturing, or handling architectural metalwork, this machine gives you the power and precision to tackle demanding projects with confidence.
What really sets the R-H85 apart is its intelligent control system. Hydraulic encoders continuously communicate with the digital readout (DRO), giving you exact roll positioning at all times. You can set programmable stops for each roll, which means perfect repeatability when you're running production batches. No more measuring and re-measuring between parts. Set it once, and every piece comes out identical. The movable podium control puts all machine functions at your fingertips, while convenient foot pedals at the base let you control forward and reverse operation hands free, keeping your hands available to guide the material.

Applications
- Automotive & Transportation: Create custom exhaust systems, roll cages, chassis components, and curved frame members with consistent radius bends
- Architectural & Construction: Fabricate decorative scrollwork, arches, curved structural beams, handrails, and custom metal furnishings
- Industrial Fabrication: Form storage tanks, pressure vessels, large-diameter pipe sections, and cylindrical housings
- HVAC & Ductwork: Bend round and rectangular duct sections, curved transitions, and custom ventilation components
- Agricultural Equipment: Manufacture curved frames, guards, protective hoops, and structural supports for farm machinery
- Custom Metal Art: Produce sculptures, designer furniture pieces, decorative gates, and artistic installations requiring smooth, precise curves
Key Features & Benefits
- Three Driven Hydraulic Rolls: All three rolls are hydraulically driven, not just the top one. This means your material moves smoothly through the machine without slipping or marring, and you get consistent bending pressure across the entire length of your workpiece.
- Double Pinch Design Reduces Waste: Here's where you save serious money. The double pinch configuration with independently controlled bottom rolls lets you bend material right to the ends. Those expensive straight cutoffs that plague traditional roll benders? Virtually eliminated. Your material utilization goes up, your scrap costs go down.
- Digital Readout with Programmable Stops: The integrated DRO shows you exactly where each roll is positioned at all times. Set your programmable stops once for a production run, and the machine will reproduce that exact bend radius on every single piece. No guesswork, no trial and error, just perfect repeatability.
- Hydraulic Lateral Guide Rolls: These hydraulic guide rolls prevent your material from twisting or walking sideways as it bends. You get true, accurate bend angles without fighting the material. This is especially valuable when working with angle iron, channel, or asymmetrical profiles.
- Heavy-Duty Portuguese Construction: This isn't a lightweight machine. The R-H85 features thick steel plate construction that's both welded and bolted for maximum structural rigidity. When you're bending at full capacity, you need a machine that won't flex or distort. This one won't budge.
- Podium Control with Foot Pedal Operation: The movable control podium brings all machine functions within easy reach. Foot pedals at the base control forward and reverse operation, leaving your hands free to position and guide material. It's an ergonomic setup that reduces operator fatigue on long production runs.
- Versatile Material Capacity: From delicate thin-wall tubing to heavy schedule 40 pipe and substantial angle iron, the R-H85 handles an impressive range of materials. The hardened segmented rolls that come standard can accommodate different profiles without requiring constant tooling changes.
- Horizontal Tipping Capability: Need to work with extra-long material? You can safely tip the R-H85 onto its back to operate in horizontal mode, accommodating longer workpieces that would be unwieldy in the vertical position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the real advantage of a double pinch design?
Think of it this way: with a traditional pyramid-style roll bender, you always end up with straight sections at the beginning and end of your bend because the material has to pass through the rollers before it starts curving. With the R-H85's double pinch design, you can pre-bend the leading edge and post-bend the trailing edge, working the material all the way to the ends. For a shop doing production work, this can save thousands of dollars in material costs over the course of a year.
Do I need special wiring for 220V 3phase power?
Yes, the R-H85 requires 220-volt three-phase electrical service. Most industrial facilities already have this, but if your shop only has single-phase power, you'll need to have three-phase service installed by a licensed electrician. This is standard for industrial equipment of this capacity. If you're unsure about your facility's electrical capabilities, consult with an electrician before purchasing.
Can I bend stainless steel or aluminum with this machine?
Absolutely. The capacity specifications are based on mild steel with 60,000 PSI tensile strength. Since stainless steel and aluminum have different properties, your actual capacities will vary. Softer materials like aluminum can typically be bent in larger sizes than the stated capacities, while harder materials might require staying below maximum capacity. For specific material questions, Baileigh's technical support team can provide guidance.
How much floor space do I need?
The machine itself has a footprint of approximately 1524 mm x 1524 mm (60" x 60"), but you'll need additional clearance around all sides for material handling and operation. Plan for at least 3 meters (10 feet) of clear space on the infeed and outfeed sides, and 1.5 meters (5 feet) on each side for operator access and material staging. If you plan to tip the machine for horizontal operation, you'll need ceiling clearance and additional floor space.
What kind of maintenance does the RH85 require?
Regular maintenance is straightforward but essential. Check and maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels, inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for wear or leaks, keep the rolls clean and free of debris, and lubricate moving parts according to the maintenance schedule in your operator's manual. The hardened rolls are extremely durable but should be inspected periodically for wear or damage. Most shops can handle routine maintenance in-house with basic tools and supplies.
