Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need threephase power to run this machine?
No! The R-M40 runs on standard 220V single-phase power, making it perfect for smaller workshops and facilities where three-phase isn't available. You'll need to ensure your electrical system can handle the 1.5 hp motor load.
What materials can I bend with the RM40?
The machine is designed for mild steel with 60,000 PSI tensile strength, but you can also work with stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Keep in mind that harder materials or thicker walls may require reducing the size capacity. The included segment rolls handle flat bar, solid rod, and square tube immediately.
Can I bend tighter radii than the specifications show?
The minimum diameter specifications represent the tightest reliable bends for the given material sizes. Attempting tighter radii may overstress the machine or produce inconsistent results. For projects requiring tighter bends, consider using smaller material sizes or consult with Baileigh's technical team about optional tooling.
What's the difference between horizontal and vertical bending modes?
Horizontal mode is ideal for shorter pieces and provides better visibility of your work. Vertical mode lets you handle longer materials more easily since they extend upward rather than requiring extensive horizontal clearance. You can switch between modes based on your project needs.
How difficult is it to change tooling for different profiles?
Changing rolls is straightforward with basic hand tools, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes once you're familiar with the process. Baileigh offers a wide range of optional tooling for specific tube and pipe sizes, and their technical support team can guide you through the installation process.
