This test is specifically for round steel bars for concrete, the aim is to verify that their ductility is sufficient for cold formatting operations.

The test involves bending the sample to a prespecified angle and partly straightening it to see if any fractures or cracks are formed.

The bending and re-straightening angles, the radius of the tools, and the distances between the supports are all dependant on the diameter of the sample, the type of surface, and the quality of the steel.

• Power Supply: 220 V, 50 Hz, single-phase, 1500

 The MT103 is distinguished by its high-precision mechanical machining capabilities: the end of the stem is tightly held in by a guide with dovetail coupling in order to avoid distortion and dangerous buildups of elastic energy in the thrusting device; guide, roller bearing element, and ram are bolted to the same machined beam.

The motor and the hydraulic components are sized for continuous working. The replacement of the tools presents no difficulty.

The series fittings comprise two roller couples (diameter 50 mm and diameter 100 mm). Mandrels and, when required, mandrel supports can be selected from those described below.
