Deep-Box Bending of Sheet Metal Makes Appliance Manufacturing Easier
The X-Press SuperCustom press brake from Gasparini uses 1,300 mm daylight with 900 mm tool adapters to produce very deep boxes up to 600 mm and easy bending of the biggest sheet metal parts.
The World’s Fastest Automated Bending Cell for Appliance Manufacturing
The TruBend Cell 7000 from TRUMPF is comprised of a TruBend 7036 Cell Edition press brake, a BendMaster bending robot, a LoadMaster Bend material handling unit, a pallet system and tracks, all within an enclosure that requires only 69 sq ft of floor space.
How to Correctly Calculate an Unfolded Part
Understanding the relationship between the V-opening, radius, bending allowance, and K factor can help you to properly calculate an unfolded part for more accurate bending on a press brake.
Beyond Bending: Press Brakes Can Do Much More
It might come as a surprise that the press brake you walk by on the shop floor each day can do a lot more than make flanges. When considering how to get from product drawings to finished goods, keep in mind that your press brake can do so much more than just bend.
LVD Awarded Business from Kawasaki Heavy Industries
Their Synchro-Form adaptive bending technology will be used on a custom-built 1,000 ton press brake with special tooling to produce large panels for the fuselages of commercial aircraft.
Making a Difference to Get Back on Track
By designing a chair that employs tracks instead of wheels, Tim Swenson of Action Manufacturing made a difference in the life of his paralyzed son – and delivered the ultimate in transportation for all those confined to wheelchairs.
Magnetic Safety System for Easier, Safer Front Loading of Punches on Press Brakes
The Maglock magnetic safety system on American Precision Style press brake tooling from Mate Precision Tooling attaches and seats the punch to the holder with no separation between the surfaces. Punches install facing forward or backward with magnetic power and simple tangs for front loading.
Crowning Deflection Control System for Press Brakes
The Express Crowning system from Wilson Tool helps control deflection or “the canoe effect” in press brake applications over 4 ft long with quick, repeatable crowning that is precisely adjusted by a basic hand crank and digital readout or an electric motor driven by the CNC machine control.
Economical High Precision Bending
Ideal for entry into precision bending, the TruBend 3100 press brake from TRUMPF is simple to operate, accurate and reliable, with a multi-axis backgauge that can move across the entire 118 in length of the machine bed for unrestricted use when bending complex part geometries at the ends of the machine.
How to Put Seeming Waste to Good Use
Coal-fired power plants are turning to ash removal conveyors that eliminate the need and use of ash ponds and support EPA regulations on the safe disposal of coal ash in landfills and surface impoundments. This job shop fabricated five of these large, sophisticated submerged scrapper conveyor systems, which one power plant now uses to recycle coal ash, conserve natural resources and save energy.
Portable All-Electric Press Brake for Versatile Forming of Basic and Complex Shapes
The versatile all-electric GOFORM 40 ton press brake from Cincinnati Incorporated is perfect for small parts up to 0.25 in thick and less than 50 lb, but also has a 10 in stroke and 17 in open height for jobs requiring tall tools and adapters.
Superior Bending with Unparalleled Productivity
The TruBend Series 5000 press brake from TRUMPF is equipped with a ToolMaster for automatic tool changes in seconds and achieves unparalleled productivity by combining high axis speeds and acceleration rates with innovative operating aids.
