How to calculate press brake working tonnage?
During the bending process, the force between the upper and lower dies is applied to the material to cause plastic deformation of the material. Working tonnage refers to the bending pressure at the time of bending. The factors influencing the…
What Is Press Brake Crowning and 2 Types of It
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…
Sheet Metal Bending Methods: A Graphical Explanation of Four Bending Techniques!
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…
Beyond the traditional bending process and achieve 4 solutions for No-mark bending
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…
Sheet Metal Bending: An Engineer’s Manual
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…
