Patent ID: 7159430

Claim:
A bending device with a cutting mechanism for bending and cutting a workpiece, the bending device comprising: at least one bending die having a bending surface corresponding to a target bending shape and a bending axis perpendicular to and offset from a longitudinal axis of the workpiece; a bending arm rotatable about the bending axis and including a clamping die disposed to face the bending die and positionable along a bending arm axis to clamps the workpiece against the bending die; and a cutter movable along the bending arm axis for cutting the workpiece at a selectable angle of rotation of the bending arm; and a rotation mechanism for rotating the bending arm around the bending axis while the workpiece is clamped by the clamping die and the bending die for at least one of bending the workpiece to conform to the target bending shape; and positioning the cutter at the selectable angle of rotation for cutting the workpiece.
