What Is Hydraulic Press Brake

The hydraulic press brake is a kind of machine which can bend thin plates. Its structure mainly includes bracket, worktable and clamping plate. The worktable is placed on the bracket. The worktable is composed of base and pressing plate. The base is connected with the clamping plate by hinge. The base is composed of seat shell, coil and cover plate. The coil is placed in the depression of the seat shell, and the top of the depression is covered with a cover plate. When in use, the coil is electrified by the wire, and after being electrified, the pressing plate is attracted, so as to realize the clamping of the thin plate between the pressing plate and the base. Due to the use of electromagnetic force clamping, the pressing plate can be made into a variety of workpiece requirements, and the workpiece with side wall can be processed, and the operation is very simple.

Working Principle of Hydraulic Press Brake

The hydraulic bending machine consists of a bracket, a worktable and a clamping plate. The worktable is placed on the bracket. The worktable is composed of a base and a pressing plate. The base is connected with the clamping plate through a hinge. The base is composed of a base shell, a coil and a cover plate. The coil is placed in the depression of the base shell, and the top of the depression is covered with a cover plate.
When in use, the coil is electrified by the wire, and after being electrified, the pressing plate is attracted, so as to realize the clamping of the thin plate between the pressing plate and the base. Due to the use of electromagnetic force clamping, the pressing plate can be made into a variety of workpiece requirements, and the workpiece with side wall can be processed. The bending machine can meet the needs of various workpieces by replacing the bending machine mold

1.Classification of Press Brake

Press Brake is divided into manual press brake, hydraulic press brake and CNC press brake. Manual press brake is divided into mechanical manual press brake and electric manual press brake. Hydraulic press brake can be divided into torsion shaft synchronization, mechanical hydraulic synchronization and electro-hydraulic synchronization according to synchronization mode. According to the movement mode, hydraulic press brake can be divided into two types: up moving type and down moving type

Now we will focus on the difference between torsion shaft press brake and numerical control press brake according to different synchronous modes.

1.1What Is NC Press Brake (Torsion Synchronous Shaft Press Brake)

According to different systems, torsion bending machine can be divided into simple torsion bending machine and numerical control torsion bending machine. The difference between the two machines mainly comes from the system. The simple torsion axis bending machine system adopts E21 and E200 controllers. This machine controls the Y-axis and controls the angle through the distance of the cylinder. There is no mold library and angle editing. CNC twist axis bending machine they use Estan E300, delem da41s, cybelec cybtouch 8p, this machine control with mold library and angle programming, when you need to bend a certain angle, as long as the mold allows, you only need to input the angle directly, the system will automatically calculate the bending machine up mold down distance to achieve the entered bending angle.

1.2Working Principle of NC Press Brake

The mechanical balance axis is used to force the synchronization of the press brake, which has low synchronization precision, no error feedback, and the bending slider has poor anti deflection load.

1.3Advantages of NC Press Brake

The torsion shaft synchronous bending machine is relatively cheap, which is suitable for the production of the processing society with low accuracy requirements.

1.4Disadvantages of NC Press Brake

  1. Low synchronization accuracy, no error feedback and poor anti deflection load capacity of bending slider.
  2. Slow speed, only meet the general and occasional bending needs.
  3. Due to the difference of synchronization effect, the positioning accuracy of torsion shaft synchronization is twice or more worse than that of electro-hydraulic synchronization.

1.6Conclusion

The situation of each factory is different. Different customers have different demands for workpiece processing and different requirements for bending efficiency. There is no complete saying which is good or which is bad. Only by adjusting measures to local conditions and choosing a bending machine suitable for their own factory is the correct solution.


2.What is CNC press brake (Electro Hydraulic Synchronous Press Brake)

Both sides of the main cylinder synchronous use of Germany imported electro-hydraulic servo valve and Germany Heidenhain grating ruler to form a closed-loop control, accurate feedback, accurate operation of the slider, so that the bending accuracy, slider repeat positioning accuracy is high.

The main difference between electro-hydraulic servo CNC press brake and ordinary NC press brake lies in whether it has feedback closed loop and whether it has electro-hydraulic bending machine compensation; The biggest difference is that the structure of the two sides of the bending slider to ensure synchronization is different. The torsion shaft is synchronized by connecting the two cylinders at the same time, and the electro-hydraulic servo is synchronized by the servo synchronization valves on both sides.

2.1Advantages of CNC Press Brake

  1. The electro-hydraulic servo has high synchronization accuracy, real-time error feedback, accurate data feedback to ensure the accuracy of slider operation, and strong anti deflection load capacity of bending slider.
  2. Digital control, easy to operate.
  3. Closed loop control, accurate feedback, accurate operation of the slider, so that the bending accuracy, slider repeat positioning accuracy is high.

When you buy a bending machine, you should make a choice from the aspects of service, operation and system to avoid stepping on thunder.

 

3.Main Differences between NC and CNC Press Brake

See the table below:

Torsion shaft synchronous bending machine
(NC press brake)
Electro hydraulic synchronous bending machine
(CNC press brake)
Principle NC press brake relies on mechanical balance shaft to force synchronization The main cylinder on both sides is controlled synchronously by the hydraulic control system such as proportional electro-hydraulic servo valve and grating ruler.
Synchronous
structure
Torsion bending machine (hydraulic bending machine), three cylinder (four cylinder, eight cylinder) torsion bending machine, double machine
linkage torsion bending machine.
Electro hydraulic servo CNC bending machine, four
axis (six axis) electro-hydraulic servo bending machine.
Synchronous
effect
Because the up and down positions of the left and right cylinders are not completely consistent, the synchronization effect is poor and the error is large Hydraulic system and numerical control system form
closed loop, which makes bending machine speed fast
and accuracy accurate.
Operation It is necessary to adjust the mechanical stop of the main oil cylinder by bending to achieve the bending angle of the workpiece As long as the material thickness and length of the sheet are input, the bending force required can be automatically calculated and generated
CNC system E21,E300,E200P,DA41S,CT8 DA53T, DA58T,DA66T, DA69T,CT12,CT15
Bending
accuracy
Synchronous structure is fixed, no adjustment function, poor bending accuracy. Two grating rulers are installed next to the two bending cylinders to realize the real-time error feedback function.
Bending
speed
Slow speed, only meet the general and occasional bending needs. The speed of electrohydraulic is about twice that
of the torsional shaft, which can meet the bending
demand of complex bending once forming
Positioning
accuracy
The difference of synchronization results in poor positioning accuracy The difference of synchronization results in better
positioning accuracy
Control Axis Up to 2 + 1 axes can be controlled It is not controlled by the range of axis number,
At least 3 + 1 axis
Price Chearper price,high cost performance High cost and higher price
