Nowadays the world is focusing into automation. Each and every work of human is reduced by a machine, but few areas like construction the usage of machines for bending rods for stirrups which are used to withstand loads in beams and columns are not done by machine because the cost of machine is high and need skilled labours to operate it. So this project is aimed to do bending operation for stirrups using hydraulics and named as hydraulic rod bending machine. The main objective of our project is to implement the hydraulic rod bending machine in the construction sites with less cost compared to the existing bending machines, and increasing the productivity of the stirrups. Hydraulic rod bending machine consist of Double acting cylinder, P-40 Direction control valve, Hoses, Motor, Pump, Rack and Pinion, Free wheel, Fixture. The rod is bent by the hydraulic cylinder piston with holding the rod in the fixture. The main advantage of our project is the square shape of the Stirrups is bent continuously without repositioning the rod in the machine.
