How many Axis requiring for your CNC Press brake metal bending project?
Is 4 axis or 6 axis needed? Or you may need 8 axis CNC Press brake for your complex sheet metal profile bending?
When we are talking about one CNC Press brakes, almost all metal fabrication shop owner will check sheet metal thickness, metal bending length, metal profiles bending procedures, then we can determine some basical sheet metal bending parameters, like max bending power, worktable length, width, pressing cylinder stroke, Ram daylight opening for bneding space, clear pass for free bending space, pressing throat for press brake bending width design, even standard press brake tooling system or customized bending tools designed according to correct sheet metal profiles.
Then we will serious consider how many axis required in this CNC Press brake bending back gauge system.
An axis is a reference line that is fixed in a specific bending position to calculate a measurement of a coordinate. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system we use for locating where one object is in relation to another makes use of an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, each perpendicular to the other two. These are the three basic axes used in bending machine, Y1&Y2 axis on a cnc press brake is the vertical moving action for the top beam.
For one AHYW Yawei China made CNC Press brakes, CNC controlled Y1&Y2 dual cylinders, CNC controlled X&R auto bending back gauge& Auto Crowning table as standard features of CNC bending machines.
But all other complicated bending axis are all available in AHYW China Yawei factory as follows:
- R1 and R2 — the heights of two independently moving bending fingers, moving in different height
- Z-axis — the horizontal position of the back gauge as it connects with the workpiece. Left to right.
- Z1 and Z2 — the horizontal positions of two independently moving back gauges.
- X1 and X2 — the positions of two independently moving back gauge fingers in different location
- X Prime (also called Delta X) — designed to be used with a standard X-axis back gauge to allow a sheet to be positioned at an angle.
- CNC controlled Sheet Follower, especially for bending longer&thin sheet metal profiles.
CNC controlled Front Feeding System&Rear Pushing System for poles bending or special sheet profile forming projects
The more axes that you have on your cnc press brake, the more flexibility and control you have for your bending sheet profiles operations. For example, dual independently moving back gauges are useful for a variety of reasons, including having a workpiece that has an unevenly cut or previously bent back edge that needs to be engaged at two different points by the back gauge, or when an bending machine operator is performing two subsequent bends on the same part and wants the back gauges positioned separately for each bend so that he can quickly move between them.
Determining Your Axis Required In Your CNC Pressbrakes
Not all sheet metal bending projects need 6 axis or 8 axis Press brakes, more axis may not have better bending productivity when you are bending simple sheet profiles, 6 axis CNC Press brakes will have big help when you are bending small pieces and sectionalized metal profiles in one longer bending table, operator do not need to manual adjusting fingers location for precise bending programming, all bending steps and positioning will be set directly in CNC controller.
If you are not sure how many axis required for your sheet profiles bending or purchasing budget, welcome your email to AHYW CHINA YAWEI factory, we are here happy to offer the best quality sheet metal cutting&bending machinefrom China manufactures.
