The causes of discarded parts give an interesting indication of the points to focus on with regards to the bending stations and the actions to be implemented to limit them.

Crowning is a distortion of the ram and the bed, induced during the bending operation by the force of the table. If this deformation is not compensated, the bending angle is irregular. The majority of press brakes are equipped with a crowning system.

A special bending tool is highly relevant in the context of recurring manufacturing or large batches of parts. In these cases, it allows to reduce the number of operations and manipulations on the press brake, while minimising the number of stops and cycles.

Changing the tools on press brakes is an important approach for improving productivity. The press brake downtime during the assembly of tools is substantial, especially during small or medium batches.

The choice of the tools, their maintenance and their proper use are important elements in the precision of the parts, in the management of the press brake and for the operator.

The material characteristics are different depending on the rolling direction. The material does not react in the same way if the part is bent in the grain direction, or perpendicularly.

Here we will be showing 3 checkpoints on raw material that are not to be neglected during bending, beforehand as well as during the entire production cycle.

Especially designed for cutting processes in the automotive industry, the system makes it faster, more agile ad more profitable to process pre-stamping formats (blanking)
The software has been incorporated into all of the laser cutting lines in Danobatgroup's sheet metal division (cutting, punching and folding).

Industrialists, and a fortiori in the sheet metal industry, are subject to production time constraints that affect all the departments in the company in a transversal way: sales representatives, currency traders or business managers, production, accounting, etc.
 

Bystronic has enhanced the Xpert Pro press brake to create a fully automatic bending solution. The Bending Cell enables varying order situations to be mastered efficiently and without errors.
