What are the requirements for the material of CNC bending machine molds?

Oct 27, 2025

In order to make the CNC bending machine mold more durable, the requirements for material selection are very strict. Only materials that meet the following requirements are considered high-quality materials. 1. Wear resistant This is the essential and most important performance of materials, because during the production process, there will be severe friction between the surface of the cavity and the billet. If the material is not wear-resistant, the CNC bending machine mold is easily damaged and fails. 2. Strong and resilient The working environment is quite harsh, and it has to withstand huge impact forces. Only strong and resilient materials can ensure that they do not break under impact. 3. High temperature resistance The CNC bending machine mold needs to work in a high-temperature env...

What material requirements should CNC press brake tooling meet?

Oct 23, 2025

To ensure the durability of CNC press brake tooling, the selection of materials is extremely stringent. Only materials that meet the following requirements are considered high-quality. 1. Wear resistance This is a basic and crucial material property. During the production process, intense friction occurs between the mold surface and the workpiece. If the material is not wear-resistant, the CNC press brake tools will easily become damaged and fail. 2. Toughness The working environment is relatively harsh, and the mold must withstand tremendous impact forces. Only strong and tough materials can withstand such impact without breaking. 3. High-temperature resistance CNC press brake tool operate in high-temperature environments, which can reduce their h...

A press brake is a machine capable of bending metal sheets

Oct 14, 2025

A press brake is a machine capable of bending thin sheets. Its structure primarily consists of a support, a worktable, and a clamping plate. The worktable is mounted on the support and consists of a base and a pressure plate. The base is hinged to the clamping plate. The base consists of a housing, a coil, and a cover. The coil is located in a recess in the housing, and the top of the recess is covered by the cover. During operation, a wire energizes the coil, generating an attractive force on the pressure plate, thereby clamping the sheet between the pressure plate and the base. The electromagnetic clamping mechanism allows the pressure plate to be shaped to various workpiece requirements and can process workpieces with side walls, making operation very simple. CNC press brakes and...

Maintenance and upkeep of the press brake

Oct 11, 2025

Before performing machine maintenance or cleaning, the upper punch should be aligned with the lower dies and the machine should be lowered and turned off until the work is completed. If startup or other operations are required, the mode should be selected as manual and safety should be ensured. The maintenance content is as follows: 1. Hydraulic oil circuit 1) Check the oil level in the fuel tank every week, and also check it after hydraulic system maintenance. If the oil level is below the oil window, add hydraulic oil; 2) The hydraulic oil used in this machine is ISO HM46 or MOBIL DTE25; 3) The new machine should have its oil changed after 2000 hours of operation, and every 4000-6000 hours of operation thereafter. After each oil change, the oil tank should be cleaned; 4) The syste...

What are the key factors affecting bending accuracy?

Oct 08, 2025

Bending accuracy is a crucial technical specification for CNC press brakes. Key factors influencing bending accuracy include the sheet material, die-casting mold, machinery, and personnel. Let's discuss the specific aspects of these key factors: Key factors for sheet metal 1. Straightness of the sheet metal's reference points 2. Is the stress distribution of the sheet metal uniform 3. Is the thickness of the sheet metal consistent Key factors for die-casting molds 4. Is the accuracy of the upper and lower, left and right die-casting molds accurate 5. Is the lower die compensation device accurate and compatible with the frame design 6. The upper die fixture must be highly accurate. Key factors for mechanical equipment 7. Straightness of the clamping opening of the press...

Types of press brake dies Ⅱ

Oct 06, 2025

In the age of automation and Industry 4.0, press brakes are becoming increasingly versatile and crucial for a wide range of manufacturing sectors. At the heart of these machines are the punches and dies, key tools that allow precise and repeatable bends to be made with a variety of materials. In this article we will look at the different types of dies The dies used in press brakes are indispensable components in the sheet metal bending process. They are designed to make bends of various complexity, taking advantage of the efficiency of the press brake. There are various models of dies for these machines, each with unique features and functions. They allow for both simple and more complex bends, helping to ensure accurate and high-quality results in sheet metal processi...

How to Use a Press Brake

Oct 05, 2025

1. First, turn on the power, turn on the key switch on the control panel, and then press the oil pump to start. 2. Stroke Adjustment: When using a press brake, always pay attention to stroke adjustment and perform a test run before bending. When the upper die of the press brake reaches its lowest point, ensure there is a gap equal to the plate thickness. Failure to do so will damage the die and the machine. Stroke adjustment is available through both electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment. 3. Select the bending notch. Generally, choose a notch width that is eight times the plate thickness. For example, if you are bending a 4mm plate, you should choose a notch width of approximately 32mm. 4. Adjusting the back gauge is generally available through electric quick adjustment and...

Types of press brake tooling Ⅰ

Oct 02, 2025

Now we need to move to the “proper tooling” which means choosing the tool from the catalog which will be good to bend your part or what mainly should be ordered for your production. And to speak about it we need to make a complete brief of tooling types and possibilities. We will try not to base on any tooling system but just the possible geometry of tools and their possibilities for bending. If you have the beginner level it is reasonable also to make a small introduction to press brake tooling itself and to divide it into the simple following categories: Bending punch - an upper tool so the tool will be attached directly to the moveable beam of the press brake or upper holder on the beam and will be moved together with the beam. We select punch based on the nece...

What is the relationship between the slot width of the CNC bending machine and the plate thickness

Oct 02, 2025

The relationship between the notch width of the lower die of the CNC bending machine mold and the plate thickness is a question that many metal processing manufacturers will ask. Now the recognized calculation formula in the market is: V groove width = plate thickness *8. This is a common calculation formula in the market, but it also hides a disadvantage. For workpieces that require precision, is this formula still applicable? The result is that it does not completely match. Because this formula is only suitable for precision bending, not for suspended bending and close bending. At the same time, the ratio of the width of the lower die groove of the bending machine to the plate thickness required by different materials is not necessarily the same. According to the data summarized a...
