Bending Machine : Essential Equipment in Sheet Metal Industry

Bending Machine : Essential Equipment in Sheet Metal Industry – Bending machines are vital tools in the sheet metal industry, used to press workpieces into various shapes and bend thin plates as required. Moreover, this article delves into the different types of bending machines, their technologies, and their applications.

Traditional Bending Machines vs. CNC Bending Machines

Traditional bending machines, often powered by asynchronous motors, control bending angles through a mechanical limit known as a dead stop. Adjusting this dead stop, manually or electrically, allows the workpiece to bend at different angles, though the process can be cumbersome. Upgrading these machines with a servo motor transforms them into simple CNC bending machines, also known as torsion axis synchronization bending machines due to their reliance on torsion axis synchronization.

The Rise of All-Electric Servo Bending Machines

All-electric servo bending machines represent a significant technological advancement. Specifically, these machines use a servo motor to drive the screw rod, eliminating the need for an oil cylinder. Consequently, this innovation simplifies control mechanisms, enhances working speed and accuracy, and eliminates oil leakage, thereby reducing energy consumption and boosting productivity. Servo electric technology can shorten the processing cycle by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.

Advantages of Electric Bending Machines:

  • High Precision: Superior stroke and synchronization accuracy.
  • Efficiency: High transmission efficiency and reliability.
  • Environmental Benefits: No hydraulic oil or sealing components, reducing oil leaks and environmental pollution.
  • Energy Efficiency: Lower energy consumption and noise levels.

Limitations:

Electric bending machines are typically limited to small-tonnage applications, generally within 60 tons. Consequently, they are unsuitable for large-tonnage bending tasks.

Hybrid Electric Bending Machines: Combining the Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid electric bending machines integrate hydraulic and electric systems, merging the benefits of both technologies while introducing innovative improvements. Furthermore, they offer enhanced efficiency and versatility compared to traditional machines.

Key Features:

  • Energy Efficiency: Utilizes efficient servo motors and hydraulic systems, conserving energy. Motors remain idle during standby, minimizing noise.
  • High Accuracy: Advanced CNC technology and servo motors enhance operational precision and repeatable positioning accuracy.
  • Stability: A robust hydraulic system design ensures stable working pressure and flow, reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation.
  • Environmental Friendliness: Less hydraulic oil usage and reduced waste oil treatment pressure. Lower operational noise enhances workplace safety and quality.

These attributes make hybrid electric bending machines indispensable in modern industry due to their energy efficiency, precision, stability, and environmental benefits.
