The acceptable CAD workflow is to form with the sizes and functions of final products as a model goal. The final stage of the workflow is the extraction of flat workpieces from production data about the finished products. Otherwise, you might design plane workpieces later making additional bending to model the finished product. Work on…
Question: I encountered a bend problem, which confused me a great deal. I was using a die of 0.984 inch together with a punch of 0.03 inch. I dealt with 6061-T6 aluminum of 0.125 inch thickness. Since I experienced some cracks, I turned to 1100-O aluminum possessing defined extension force of 13.000 PSI. In accordance…
As depicted in figure 1, a grooving machine is needed to bend 20×20 square tubes of 1 mm thickness. The remaining groove thickness depends on the size of the bend of the rectangular arch and the thickness of the sheet (t). In general, if the sheet thickness is no more than 1 mm or equal…
k-factor is the most significant among the math constants in sheet metal fabs. It seems the most basic value while calculating bending allowance (BA) and bending deductions (BD). If you gain the correct k-factor, your precise bending will be ensured. A Slight Overview The neutral axle is a theoretic space that lies at 50% of…
Eight reasons for the significance of grain size in metal sheet bending. Question: First of all, I would like to thank you for all the worthy information and instructions you provide readily. Due to it we gain thorough competence and clear idea on major issues in the formation of metal sheets. More than once you…
The Simplicity of Shearing Cut-off Parts Shearing plates by an iron-worker delivers simplicity. The sheet is placed in the area between the top and bottom blades. Once the ram pushes the top blades downwards to the fixed bottom blades, the sheet gets cut through the opposite cutters. Consider such factors as rake angles, clearance between…
Step-by-step bend strategics for high-range-product workshops CAM software development provides workshops with the possibility to gain more effectiveness and productiveness. Step-by-step bend together with off-line programming reduces interruptions, improves part flowing and controls expenses. This advancement in the area of tool technology and CAM programming allow workshops to come up with more excellent performance. Conventional…
PS 85 DP iron-worker carries 5 stations to punch, shear and notch. Having 2 cylinders not dependent on each other, this machine allows two concurrent operations with the punch and the 2nd station meanwhile. The machine bears an electrical triggering selector of 3.28 feet to provide rapid work in case of work repetition. The work-stations…
We have already represented the idea of the V-groove, an excellent alternative to create cosmetic bending featured with strong bending radius. Architectural panel bends featured with outer radii too close to the thicknesses of the materials and excellent appearance, with no cracks or crack traces provides evidence that it is a V-groove formation. V groove…
Each manufacturer is more than aware that distortions of finished products predict failure for their work. To prevent the possible problems, make proper blade settings as well as match the process components with the features of blades of your shear machine. Matching the materials and blades. While dealing with shear process, fabricators should consider the…
