Neon Bending Machine

we used this machine to make glass for target stores. double backs were not that hard to do. went from 300' a day to 300' an hour

to limited! not useful in applications other than large bends!

I think there are some variants of this that can heat a section that long, bump it out and automatically make several bends. I'm told such machines are used in Japan for some large-scale production. This machine, as shown, would be quite useful, I'm sure, for doing large-scale cold-cathode for interiors, especially if you need 500 tubes bent to a specific curve. It's definitely not intended for the average shop.

that is pretty cool! would be useful for the right application

fascinating exercise in soullessness.....

[Barney83]

Wow! I never imagined that could be done!

[ancutza23]

intresting but here in romania all this we make in our hands the curvev all is manually

I'd like to see someone put the electrodes on that long one. Fire up the hand torch and prepare to be there awhile a long while and while your at it you better make up a new blow hose too. Haha.

Well, Where someone can find 3 meters of glass in America ? Good try anyway, Tecnolux is my favorite neon supplies brand . . . But How make that kind of curves, I made that once in a year !!!! so try to invent something more useful !!!!!!!

[NeonCreations]

I have a bunch of 3 meter glass in America, classic colors - 15mm ruby, emerald, cobalt (10' sticks).  some for sale if anyone's interested
