Application of various types of bending and bending machines: There are different types of bending machines, some examples of these machines include: iron bending machine, profile bending machine, machine Rebar bending machine, corner bending machine, pipe bending machine and... Each of these devices are divided into different types. These devices can be made electrically or manually with a hydraulic or mechanical system and have a simple structure or have NC and CNC computer systems, which are advanced types of bending devices. Each of these devices are divided according to the type of control system, the size of the target piece, the number of rollers, the number of workstations, and the thickness of the target piece. There are different brands of bending machines in the industry, brands include: (Super Ego) Spain, (Rotenberger) Germany, (Rigid) America, OPT (Japan) and... these brands are related to existing simple, electric and hydraulic bending machines. It is in the market and they are available in different models and sizes.
What is a bending machine?
The force applied to the metal sheets by this device causes the sheets to bend at an angle and creates the desired shape. The process of bending metal sheets is called bending. In bending, the shape of the sheet is changed, but its volume remains the same. In bending, it is necessary to have sufficient skill to work with the machine. So the bending machine is a tool that bends the sheets using a punch and a mandrel.
Types of sheet bending machines
Mechanical bending
In this bending method, the bending plates are placed on the upper edges of the mold and its bending radius depends on the radius, width of the mold and the material and thickness of the alloy. The amount of pressure and force is such that the sheet is completely placed on the mold. During bending, the inner part of the sheet is compressed and the outer part of the sheet is fully stretched. One of the advantages of bending using a mechanical bending machine is that different types of parts can be made, and welding is avoided by using bending. And the two main advantages of this mechanical bending are its speed and accuracy.
Hydraulic bending
This method is one of the most popular and popular bending methods because it uses the latest technologies in the field of bending and is mostly used for delicate bending.
Pneumatic bending
In this method of bending, the desired sheet is bent by a compressor that stores air power in itself. This type of bending is used to bend small parts and in most cases for jobs that require high pressure. If not, it is used.
Applications and advantages of the bending machine
The bending machine is used for the cases that we mention below some of the applications of the bending machine in the industries. Making metal furniture Making frying pans and deep pots Making closets, doors, drawers and shelves Making cooling devices and equipment Shipbuilding construction Livestock and agriculture Construction of electrical protection Making computer chassis and heat exchanger
