<br/><br/> The study, Development of Replaceable Jig Steel Bending Machine, aimed to address the<br/>issue of the traditional manual bending in construction for making stirrups and shaping<br/>circle for scholar of National Certificate 2 training as an alternative pipe that is risk for<br/>the workers and consume to much time using that method to bend. This prototype is<br/>particularly useful for construction sites and National Certificate Level ll (NC2) training. The prototype is used to bend reinforcement steel bars, to shape mild steel square bars<br/>into circles, to cut the finish product of bent steel and store the tools. The design of the<br/>prototype is composed of five major components namely; Replaceable hexagonal<br/>shafting plate, Tools Storage system, Steel Cutting system, Clamping system, Safety<br/>Control. The Safety Control System has been implemented to prevent possible accidents<br/>during operation, ensuring that both user and machine are safe. The Steel Bending<br/>Machine is faster at bending mild steel compared to manual bending and allows<br/>continuous operation efficiency. The prototype evaluation has a high level of workability<br/>indicating its functionality, aesthetics, durability, safety, The replaceable jig steel bending<br/>machine in terms of workability was rated 4.69, functionality 4.62, aesthetics 4.53, durability 4.52, safety 4.46 and overall, 4.5 with a descriptive rating of "High<br/>Acceptable" based on the evaluation result of 50 respondents. The prototype evaluated<br/>50 respondents, including the owner of welding shop, foreman, SMAW trainor and<br/>instructor and students from Technological University of the Philippines with a course of<br/>construction students and welding students. The prototype can bend a Reinforcement<br/>Steel Bar (RSB) can bend up to 16mm only for stirrups and a square bar 12mm diameter<br/>with a 6 inches diameter for TESDA scholar National Certificate Level ll (NC2) training<br/>as an alternative pipe.
