Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for bending profile members in which the bending head includes at least one stage for bending the profile members and cutting the profile members after bending, provided with a tool for cutting the profile members including a pre-cutting member suitable for starting the cutting of the profile members, and a cutting member suitable for finishing the cut started by the pre-cutting member.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for bending profiles such as tubes, which are moved oriented along a longitudinal axis (X), comprising a bending die, on the one hand, mounted on an apparatus for driving in rotation the bending die around a bending axis (Z) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X) for moving the bending profiles and, on the other hand, having:\n a bending form oriented on the bending axis (Z), provided with a peripheral groove for winding a profile that extends into a continuity of an impression for clamping of the profile, a clamping jaw associated with the bending form having a clamping impression of a complementary profile of the impression of the bending form, an apparatus for moving the clamping jaw along a transverse axis (Y) perpendicular to the bending axis (Z), relative to the associated bending form, between a clamping position coupled to the bending form and an open position separated from the bending form, the clamping jaw is pierced with a through hole that opens out through a slot in the clamping impression of the clamping jaw, the bending form associated with the clamping jaw is pierced with a through hole that opens out through a slot in the impression of the bending form, and arranged so as to extend into a continuity of the slot of the clamping jaw, a cutting element associated with each of the clamping jaw and bending form pair, the cutting element having one cutting end forming a cutting tip extending into a plane (X, Y), an apparatus for moving the cutting element along the transverse axis (Y) between an active cutting position of a profile housed in the clamping impression and impressions of the associated clamping jaw and bending form pair, and a passive position, called a bending position, in which the cutting element is retracted back in relation to the clamping impression and impressions, the bending device comprises, associated with the clamping jaw and bending form pair, a second pre-cutting element activated before the cutting element, and having a cutting end that forms a cutting tip, and an apparatus for moving the pre-cutting element in the plane (Y, Z):\n between two positions in each of which the pre-cutting element clears an access to the slot that opens out into the clamping impression of the clamping jaw, \n along a suitable path so that each cutting tip penetrates into the clamping impression of the clamping jaw through the slot by a depth to achieve a beginning of the cutting of the profile at least in a vicinity of a generatrix of the latter that extends into the plane (X, Y), \n the clamping jaw having, communicating with the clamping impression of the clamping jaw through the slot opening out into the latter, a channel to ensure guiding of the pre-cutting element during movement of the latter, \n and the apparatus for moving the cutting element determines a bending position in which the cutting element is retracted back from the guiding channel the pre-cutting element.
