Press brake is a kind of general equipment for bending sheet. Press brake can press metal sheet into a certain geometric shape by using a simpler general mold. For sheets of different thicknesses, V-groove lower molds with different opening sizes should be selected. The required bending force can be obtained from the bending pressure gauge.

1. The oil cylinders at both ends of the body of the press brake are arranged on both sides of the slider to directly drive the slider. A mechanical stop is arranged in the oil cylinder to control the bottom dead center position of the slider. The upward end position of the slider is adjusted by the stop beside the travel switch.
2. The bottom dead center of the slide block of the press brake and the end position of the back gauge stroke are shown by the corresponding rotation number table.
3. The torsion shaft of press brake is used to forcibly synchronize the two ends of the sliding block and can withstand a certain amount of eccentric load.
4. The upper part of the press brake is equipped with a precision compensation mechanism, which can make the workpiece obtain consistent bending accuracy over the entire length.
The accuracy of press brake is a factor that needs to be carefully considered. It is this factor that determines whether you need a CNC or manual press brake. If the press brake requires in the range of 1° and cannot be changed, you should choose CNC press brake. The repeatability of the slider of the is in the range of 0.002 inches with the deviation of 2 to 3°under the condition of using a suitable mold.
The wear of each mold must be checked by measuring the length from the front end of the punch to the shoulder and the length between the shoulder of the die. The deviation per foot should be around 0.001 inches and the total length deviation should not be greater than 0.005 inches.
When free bending is adopted, the bending radius of press brake is 0.156 times of the opening distance of the die. The opening distance of the die should be 8 times the thickness of the metal material. If the bending radius is less than the thickness of the material, a punch that a radius at the front end is smaller than the thickness of the material must be used.
The press brake is a machine that can bend thin plates. Traditional processing methods in the metal sheet workshop include plate shearing, punching and bending. A large number of molds are needed. Adapting to modern metal sheet processing, press brake come into being, reducing production costs and improving processing technology.
With the development of technology, the modern production mode puts forward higher requirements for the production equipment. In the past, the press brake had to bend the entire batch of workpieces when performing multi-pass bending processing, which required continuous work of refueling. However, the stopper and the slider stroke of press brake can be controlled, which can continuously bend batches of workpieces in multiple passes. The press brake ensures that the workpieces have high forming accuracy and high degree of identity, which can greatly improve production efficiency and have a promising development prospect.

How to grasp the size of bending for press brake?
How should you use press brake?
How to adjust the bending angle of press brake?
The main purpose of using a press brake is to grasp the size of the bending.
Avoid using a press brake to bend the edge or large-angle alignment.
Preliminary inspection is carried out before formal processing. Cyclic inspection is carried out during the use of press brake.
In order to avoid accumulative errors, the unfolded size must be measured every time when material is added.
Choose a good processing method and a good technical preparation method to simplify the processing of press brake.
The press brake selects the appropriate machine according to the accuracy requirements of the processed products.
Do not choose tools that have decentraction. Make sure that the tip of the upper die of press brake is on the same straight line before processing.
For products whose edges must be bent by a press brake, the front bending angle must be less than 90 degrees.
Determine the accuracy of the measuring instrument before processing.
Strictly abide by the safe operation regulations of press brake. The user must wear labor protection. Before starting, carefully check the motor, switch, circuit, grounding, and the control parts and buttons of the press brake.
Run press brake idling for 1 to 2 minutes and move on the slide 2 to 3 times at full stroke. If there is anything abnormal, stop immediately to troubleshoot the malfunction.
The sheet material must be compacted when bending to prevent hurting people during bending. The power supply must be cut off when adjusting the sheet metal die. When changing the opening of the lower mold, no material is allowed to come into contact with the lower mold. When press brake works, no one is allowed to stand behind the press brake.
It is forbidden to use press brake molds to fold over-thick iron plates or hardened steel plates.
To close the press brake, place a wooden block on the lower die under the cylinders on both sides and lower the upper slide plate onto the wooden block.
Before using the press brake to bend the material, you need to adjust its various angles, including the bending force, the distance of the back gauge, the upper limit of the slider, the speed of the slider, and the adjustment of the upper and lower mold gaps.
The adjustment of the angle of the press brake is mainly to calculate the value of the bending force and indicated pressure according to the calculation formula. Then, adjust the handwheel of the overflow valve to generate the force which is slightly larger than the force of the folded plate.
The adjustment of the backgauge distance of the press brake needs to position in the length direction when bending the sheet. The button on the front button box controls the motor adjustment, whose value can be from the revolution table on the button box. There is a handwheel for fine adjustment.
The adjustment of the upper limit of the slider of the press brake needs to be realized by adjusting the position of the striker. The rising slider can stay at the required center position, which can shorten the stroke distance of the slider. It reduces the working cycle time and increases productivity.
The adjustment of the gap between the upper and lower molds in the press brake is completed by the button on the button box. Operate in the direction indicated by the press brake label. The initial adjustment gap should be greater than the thickness of the plate.

How to adjust the gap between blades of CNC press brake?
What should be considered when using CNC press brake?
Close the rear protective door of the CNC press brake. Turn on the power. Turn on the switch on the control panel of CNC press brake. Then, start the oil pump. The CNC press brake does not operate at this time. Release all emergency stop switches.
Adjust stroke. Pay attention to adjusting the stroke when using it. You must test it before bending. There must be a gap of plate thickness when its upper die descends to the bottom. Otherwise, it will cause damage to the CNC press brake. The adjustment of the stroke also has electric quick adjustment.
For the selection of bending notches for CNC press brake, a notch with a width of 8 times the thickness of the plate should generally be selected.
Backgauge adjustment generally has electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment, which is the same as the shearing machine.
Press down the blue "reset" button on the pedal and the "reset rearguard" button on the electric box, ensuring that the two blue reset indicator lights are off.
Turn the function forwarding switch to the "auto" position and press the motor start button after the controller self-test is over.
The CNC press brake finds the reference point and loads the corresponding bending program. Ensure that the mold installed in the CNC press brake is consistent with the programmed mold. Ensure that the sheet material is consistent with the programming page.
Remove the lower blade of CNC press brake and clean it piece by piece. Select one side to install tightly. Check the straightness of the blade in the horizontal and vertical directions.
Remove the upper blade of CNC press brake and clean it piece by piece. Then, the operation is same with that of the lower blade.
The upper blade is fixed. We adjust the blade gap by adjusting the lower blade.
The left and right screws of the lower blade increase the clearance. Loosen the four bolts on the table of the lower blade.
Manually turn the upper blade down to the proper position. The operator adjusts at the blanking area of the CNC press brake.
Use a feeler gauge to roughly adjust to 0.5mm from the unoccupied part of the upper and lower blades.
Manually turn the blade to the middle position and adjust it to 0.5mm.
Manually turn the blade up to the right position where the upper and lower blades are not disengaged. The middle position is roughly adjusted to 0.5mm.
Manually turn the upper blade to the proper position and start fine adjustment.
Before working, you must check the surrounding area of CNC press brake for any objects that may cause harm to it. Make sure the surroundings are clean, especially backgauge. Check the position of the oil mark in the oil tank. Check the hydraulic part for leaks.
The CNC press brake should be operated by professors. The operators must wear the corresponding labor protection supplies.
After turning on the power switch of the CNC press brake, do not start the oil pump immediately. Start the oil pump only after the computer screen displays normal.
After starting the CNC press brake, run it for 2 to 3 minutes without anything. Run the slide block at full stroke for 2 to 3 times. Check the motor and CNC press brake for noise. If the temperature is low, the oil tank and oil circuit must be preheated.
