1、Common Bending Dies The common bending dies are shown in the figure below. To extend the life of the dies, rounded corners should be used in part design whenever possible. For edges with a height that is too small, even with bending dies, it is not conducive to forming. Generally, the bending edge height L […]
Competition in the sheet metal processing industry is becoming increasingly fierce. If companies want to remain invincible, they must continue to improve their processing technology. In some bending applications such as precision stainless steel, aluminum alloy, aerospace parts and copper plates, users are no longer satisfied with the functionality of the product, and have higher […]
Bending is a process of folding and bending flat panels, which follows the cutting process in the entire manufacturing chain. The workpiece is placed on a die with a V-shaped opening. A wedge-shaped tool (upper tool) presses the workpiece into the V-shaped opening and bends the sheet to the required angle in this manner. Most […]
Determining the bending radius of sheet metal is crucial to ensure successful and accurate bending operations without causing damage to the material. The bending radius is the minimum radius at which a sheet metal part can be bent without cracking or deforming. To calculate the bending radius, follow these steps: 1.Material Properties: Gather information about […]
What Is Press Brake Crowning To guarantee accurate, repeatable forming results, it’s essential to compensate for the deflection that inherently occurs in the beam (ram) and table of the press brake when load is applied. Without deflection compensation, it’s likely that a workpiece will have some form of deformation at its center when it’s bent […]
When we talk about press brake bending,we are familiar with three bending methods.Air Bending,Bottom Bending,Coin Bending.in this article we will explain all three bending methods. Bending Method V-width IR Angle Accuracy Features Air Bending 12T—15T 2t~2.5t ＞±45’ Can achieve a wider range of bend angle. Bottoming 6T—12T 1t~2t ±15’—30’ The higher bending precision is obtained with […]
Press brake toolings are made of high-quality steel products made by special heat treatment, with high hardness, not easy to wear and tear, able to bear great pressure, but each mold has its limits pressure: ton/meter, so choose the length of the mold when using the press brake toolings correctlyThat is, how much pressure per […]
Before discussing aluminum alloys, we should cover some background about the factors that affect their bendability. As you can imagine, products like aluminum foil, gutters, traffic signs, and automotive body parts, which are all made from aluminum alloys, have different bendability. Three factors control the bendability of the various alloys in these products: The formability […]
Figure 1 To get the most out of your press brake dies tools, the tangent of the bend, where the radius starts, ideally should be halfway down the die face. In this situation, half the die face is equal to the outside setback (OSSB), the distance from the outside mold line (planes that run parallel […]
The press brake toolings are divided into two parts. The toolings installed on the top of the ram are called punches, and the bottom toolings on the workbench are called dies. The two parts work together on the metal plate to complete the bending of the workpiece. The process that which the punch of the […]
