A bending machine is a type of metal-forming machine tool (classified under the DIN 8586 standard) used for shaping and processing workpieces; its primary function is to bend metal sheets, tubes, or profiles into specific geometric shapes and cross-sections. These machines typically consist of a press and a bending assembly, which apply pressure to the material via tooling to achieve the desired bending angle while the material is in a cold state.
Basic Functions and Intended Use:
Primarily utilized for the cold working of metal sheets, rods, and tubes to form specific geometric shapes. Working Principle: The upper die is secured via a clamping mechanism located at the lower end of the upper slide; under the force exerted by the press, the workpiece is bent and formed against the lower die. Types: These include mechanical, hydraulic, and electric variants, among others. For instance, certain machines are driven by a 1.5 HP electric motor and are capable of bending 1.18-inch diameter low-carbon steel tubing. Control System: Modern machine tools typically employ Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems to precisely regulate the bending operations, thereby achieving high-precision processing.
