Dynamic Material Support for Press Brake
When using a press brake to bend workpieces, it is common to handle workpieces with long lengths and heavy weights. During the bending process, the workpiece flips up on both sides of the bending line as the die closes. To avoid the bending accuracy being affected by the excessive length or weight of the sheet metal due to bending and gravity, we recommend equipping the press brake with a dynamic material support device.
Novel Design
The dynamic material support device for press brakes adopts a novel design with servo motor drive, a wider worktable, and greater load capacity. The support plate can continuously follow the movement of the workpiece according to its trajectory during bending. This device ensures the bending accuracy of the workpiece and greatly reduces the difficulty of manual material support. By combining linear and rotational movements of the support plate, the flipping trajectory and speed can be precisely matched with the reversal and speed of the sheet metal during bending. This device functions as an independent motion axis in fully automatic CNC operations.
Suitable Applications
Dynamic material support is suitable for auxiliary bending operations. It can be used for production with multiple varieties and batch sizes. It offers significant advantages for bending large workpieces and thick plates, reducing the need for manual assistance and lowering labor intensity. It provides strong flexibility and can be used in conjunction with multiple press brakes, resulting in relatively low investment costs.
Features and Advantages
1. Labor-saving
2. Improved machining efficiency
3. Synchronization between the dynamic device and the bending action of the sheet metal
4. Compatible with various brands and models of press brakes
5. Independent control system, no need to modify the press brake or extract any signals from the press brake control box, avoiding unnecessary complications
6. Can be easily moved and matched with different press brakes
Component Structure
The dynamic material support is typically connected to the press brake. It consists of a support frame, material support mechanism, guiding mechanism, driving mechanism, and transmission mechanism. The support frame is connected to the press brake, while the guiding mechanism, driving mechanism, and transmission mechanism are connected to the support frame. The material support mechanism is then connected to the guiding mechanism. Finally, the driving mechanism drives the material support mechanism to move along the guiding mechanism. The dynamic material support has the characteristics of a stable structure, good performance, and long service life.
