Abstract (en)

An apparatus (100) for bending tubular components (T) comprises a support base (101), first and second retaining means (1, 2) of the tubular component (T) capable of retaining the tubular component (T). The first retaining means (1) are supported on the base (101). The apparatus further comprises a rotary support portion (102) connected to the base (101) in a rotary manner about a bending axis (Z). The second retaining means (2) are supported on the rotary support portion (102). The apparatus (100) further comprises an articulated core(3) which may be inserted inside the tubular component (T), may be bent at least about a bending axis (Z) and may move with respect to the base (101) along rectilinear guide means (4) in a controlled manner coordinated with a movement of rotation of the rotary support portion (102). The second retaining means (2) comprise an abutment edge (20) capable of abutting against a bent end (T') of the tubular component (T) so as to prevent axial movements of the tubular component (T) extracting it from the second retaining means (2).
