Heavy-Duty Digital Rebar Bender & Cutter for High-Volume Production

The RAPIDTOOL PRBC-28X Premium Rebar Bender + Cutter is a heavy-duty, production-grade machine designed for fast, accurate and repeatable rebar processing. Combining rebar bending and cutting in one powerful machine, the PRBC-28X is an ideal solution for precast concrete facilities, rebar fabrication workshops, construction companies and high-volume steel processing environments.

With a 6–28mm bending capacity and 6–24mm cutting capacity, the PRBC-28X provides the versatility required to process a wide range of reinforcement bar sizes. Its advanced digital control system allows operators to preset multiple bend angles and monitor production with the integrated bend counter.

Designed and manufactured in Europe through the RAPIDTOOL – ICARO partnership, the PRBC-28X is engineered for demanding Australian and New Zealand working environments and is supported locally by RAPIDTOOL with spare parts and professional servicing.

Advanced Digital Rebar Bending Control

The PRBC-28X features an integrated digital control system designed to simplify repetitive bending operations. Operators can preset close to 400 bend angles, helping improve consistency across production runs.

The built-in digital bend counter provides an easy way to monitor completed bends, making the PRBC-28X well suited to high-volume rebar fabrication and production environments.

Powerful Rebar Bending & Cutting Performance

The PRBC-28X is designed to process both single and multiple bars, helping reduce production time and improve workflow efficiency.

Bending Capacity

• 6–28mm rebar

• 28mm – 1 bar

• 22mm – 2 bars

• 18mm – 3 bars

Cutting Capacity

• 6–24mm rebar

• 24mm – 1 bar

• 18mm – 2 bars

• 12mm – 3 bars

This combination of bending and cutting capability makes the PRBC-28X a versatile choice for rebar fabrication, precast production and construction-related steel processing.

Bidirectional Bending for Greater Flexibility

The reversible bending table allows forward and reverse rotation, giving operators greater flexibility when producing complex shapes and bends.

Combined with multiple bend pin and bushing diameters, the PRBC-28X can be configured for a broad range of rebar fabrication requirements.

Optional Ligature, Stirrup, Spiral & Rebar Ring Tools

Optional forming accessories expand the machine's capabilities for specialist rebar production.

Available accessories include:

• Ligature forming tools

• Stirrup forming tools

• Spiral forming tools

• Rebar ring forming tools

These options make the PRBC-28X suitable for businesses producing a variety of reinforcement shapes and components.

Heavy-Duty Three-Phase Construction

Built for demanding production environments, the PRBC-28X uses a robust three-phase hybrid drive system and heavy-duty industrial construction.

The machine is designed for continuous operation under load, making it suitable for professional rebar processing facilities where reliability, repeatability and productivity are essential.

Safety-Focused Design

Operator safety is an important part of the PRBC-28X design. The machine incorporates interlocked safety guards, sensor-activated doors and foot pedal control to help provide a safer working environment.

All installation and electrical work must be completed by a licensed electrician.
