•Roll-bending –bending plates with a set of rolls•Beading –bending the periphery of sheet metal into a cavity of a die to improve appearance and eliminate exposed edges•Flanging –bending edges of sheet metal to 90 degrees•Dimpling –punching a hole, followed immediately by flanging the edges•Hemming
A sheet folding machine that can be operated through hydraulics by two hydraulic cylinders or manually (with the cylinders disengaged) was designed. The design need emanated from the strained national electrical grid system that has recently seen industrialists and households in Zimbabwe experienc
ABSTRACTToday in the rapid competition of the industries to get the best quality of the product in the minimum required time is the main aim of industries. To get the best quality and maximum production most advanced machines are used. But there are no facts that use only the advanced machines, to m
1.Press Brake Bending ToolingsIn general, press brake die can be divided into the upper die, the lower die, guide rail, lower die base etc. These dies have a wide range of versatility, most of them can be fabricated.
1. Die The design of die specifically suitable to the bottom plate with respect to the punch. It is made up of plain carbon steel and its hardness is 137 HB. The sheet metal is keeps on moving in the transverse direction in three stations. Independently, these stations can perform their operations
4. Programming products and tools4.1 IntroductionProgramming of products and tools can be done very straightforward.Normally, bend programs can only be programmed when tools and materials are available, so they must be programmed first.In order to execute the programmed product successfully the cali
