The RAPIDTOOL ICARO PRB-46XA Premium Rebar Bender is a production-grade, heavy-duty rebar bending machine designed for demanding precast, rebar fabrication, processing and construction environments. With a bending capacity of 6–46mm rebar, advanced digital bend controls and a durable beltless drive system, the PRB-46XA is engineered for precision, speed and reliable high-volume production.

Designed and manufactured in Europe for the Australian and New Zealand market, the PRB-46XA combines robust industrial construction with advanced digital programming. Operators can preset multiple bend angles and use the integrated bend counter to improve repeatability and production control.

The bidirectional bend table provides forward and reverse operation for greater flexibility when producing complex shapes, while multi-bar processing capabilities help increase productivity in high-volume fabrication environments.

RAPIDTOOL is the exclusive Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Islands dealer and authorised service agent for ICARO rebar machinery, providing local access to spare parts, technical support and servicing.

Advanced Digital Bend Control

The PRB-46XA features an advanced digital control system designed to simplify repetitive bending operations. Operators can preset multiple bend angles, making the machine particularly suitable for production environments where consistent, repeatable bends are required.

With up to 400 programmable angles and an integrated digital bend counter, the system helps streamline production and provides greater control over repetitive bending tasks.

Beltless Drive System

The beltless drive system is designed to provide increased durability and reliability while reducing maintenance requirements associated with traditional belt-driven systems.

Combined with the heavy-duty three-phase motor and industrial construction, the drive system is designed for demanding production environments where consistent performance and minimal downtime are important.

Heavy-Duty Multi-Bar Bending

The PRB-46XA is capable of processing multiple reinforcing bars simultaneously, depending on bar diameter:

• 46mm – 1 bar

• 34mm – 2 bars

• 22mm – 3 bars

Multi-bar processing can significantly improve productivity in precast, fabrication and rebar processing facilities where large volumes of reinforcing steel need to be bent quickly and consistently.

Bidirectional Bend Table

The reversible bending table allows the machine to operate in both forward and reverse directions. This provides greater flexibility when producing complex bends, hooks, ligatures, stirrups and other reinforcement shapes.

The bidirectional design can also help improve workflow efficiency by allowing operators greater control over the sequence and direction of bending operations.

Optional Forming Tools

The PRB-46XA can be configured with optional accessories for producing specialised reinforcement shapes, including:

• Ligatures

• Stirrups

• Spirals

• Rebar rings

• Coils and other formed reinforcement products

These optional forming tools can expand the machine's capabilities and make it suitable for a broader range of reinforcement fabrication requirements.

Multiple Bend Pins & Bushings

The PRB-46XA is supplied with multiple bend pin and bushing diameters to accommodate different bending requirements.

Included diameters:

25 / 42 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 150mm

The 150mm bushing is compatible with rebar up to 32mm. Custom diameter bushings are also available.

Safety-First Design

Operator safety is incorporated into the PRB-46XA design, with features including:

• Interlocked safety guards

• Sensor-activated doors

• Foot pedal control

• Protective machine guarding

The machine should only be installed and electrically connected by a licensed electrician. Operators should follow the manufacturer's installation, operating and safety instructions and comply with applicable workplace safety requirements.

Industrial Construction

Built for demanding production environments, the PRB-46XA features a robust industrial frame designed for long-term use. Its heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for stationary workshop and rebar processing applications where reliability and repeatable performance are essential.
