In the past few years, the metal plate processing industry has achieved many technological advances in machine tools and moulds. Now the machine tools can be used to punch, cut and bend with the speed and precision that are beyond the expectation.
However, no matter how advanced the new technology is, there are some bottlenecks in the bending workshop or section of the metal plate processing, which even the most advanced factories cannot be avoided. Although these problems cannot be attributed to one reason, the metal processing plant can achieve improvements in many ways, which can help to shorten the lengthy preparation time, improve the efficiency and enhance the comprehensive production capacity.
Execute SOP on repeated work
Metal plate processing plants now are facing a difficult problem: most of the processing tasks are small, tolerable, and the adjustment of each flight in every 15 times is common, and for many factories, the adjustment time is far beyond the number. Technicians who are skilled in preparing complex bending machines are becoming more and more popular. Therefore, factories mostly depend on operators themselves to complete the preparation and operation of the bending machine.
The implementation of the standard operating procedure is helpful to ensure consistency, reduce the number of parts and material waste caused by multiple settings. These SOP not only help to shorten the processing time, but also improve the consistency of the bending sequence operation, and reduce the deviation of parts caused by individual operators.
Preparation sheet:
For regular processing tasks, the most common ways for bending machine operator is to use the prepared sheet. The preparation sheet records every needed tools with the form of documents, as well as tips on specific processing tasks, and it should be used each time the processing task is reappeared.

The factory should consider using some snapshots to record mold location and special block. These photos can also serve as references for future applications.
Loading in open state:
Another important approach is to load the tooling when it is in open state, which will provide the operator with a more accessible working space and to form a safer working environment.
The factory should also consider the use of appropriate procedures and tool systems, such as the loading and unloading devices, to enable the workers to complete the regular processing tasks more quickly and effectively.
Features of auxiliary tools:
Many step molding systems include punch seats, button operating folders, fast-changing 2V dies and electric pressing mechanisms, so the operator can replace the mold very quickly by himself. These systems also help operators to perform tasks more effectively without endangering safety.
Sectional mold:
According to the required bending length, we finish grinding the segmented mould without cutting the length of the mould to a certain length. Fine grinding mould can also reduce the need for gasket adjustment. The sectional mould is light and easy to handle, so it can reduce labor force and reduce the possibility of accidents due to fatigue. In order to prolong the service life, the hardened mould is also hardened and strengthened in the surface.
Mould identification:
Now almost all information about the laser is etched on the mould, so that workers can quickly identify, plan and rearrange the mold. The information generally includes category number, tooltip angle, radius, V shape slot, length and rated tonnage.
Mould storage: using the cabinet to store the mould can improve security and improve the dual benefits of material/tool management. Use an orderly storage system, it is not necessary to find a tool rack for a custom length mould. In addition, orderly storage enables managers to monitor the state of the mould more vigilant, thus ensuring high-quality inventory, identifying mould wear and damage in time, and determining the way and time for the replacement of the mould.
Making use of machining characteristics of machine tools
The new-type metal bender machine provides many advanced functions and many characteristics that can help workers to run machines more effectively. Operators who master the new machine control features can use these functions to improve their effectiveness.
Workpiece mould specification memory:
A new CNC bending machine has a common feature: it can store the specifications and all related processing information of the machine, such as the model, position and bending order of the mold. Moreover, the CNC function enables operators to store and access toolkit, which provides convenience for inventory management.
Material thickness detection:
When using a fine grinding mould, the bending machine can detect the change of material thickness and make real-time bending calculation, thus reducing the number of parts with excessive or inadequate bending angle.
3-D graphics display and bending simulation:
With the bending of the workpiece, these functions can display bending process on the controller screen, in order to avoid the material scrap caused by the incorrect forming of the parts.
Offline programming:
Bending machine programming can save time because workers do not have to work out parts processing program; the part program can be compiled by technicians and passed down to the bending machine.
General mould height: the general mould height mold series, can use the function of "plug and play" to simplify complex classification mould adjustment. The general mould height is developed along with the emergence of CNC after vertical movement. In order to make use of the principle of "general assembly height", the vertical CNC control is necessary, because the general assembly height is achieved by keeping the bottom of the lower mould opening at the same height (the lower mould seat). The mould mouth at the lower die height must be increased. This is the reason why the general mould height mold is no longer required to use the special pad or special gasket to drive the mold to be closed simultaneously.
Small and complex parts often need offset bending, 90 degrees bending and leveling, and their preparation is usually done on multiple machine tools or equipment. The grading or general mould height mold enables the operation to be completed by a bending machine as soon as the material is loaded. Using the universal mold height mold, the operator can install the 30-degree mould, the head mould, the leveling mould and the gooseneck mould on the same mould seat, and complete the whole processing of all parts.
Make full use of bending technology
The metal processing plant using bending machine is facing some complicated problems at present. The high raw material cost makes every blank must become a good product. The metal plate processing plant, which is responsive and willing to change the operation mould of the bending forming section to adapt to the current needs, which can reduce the preparation time, thus obtaining greater production capacity and reducing the scrap rate.
The development and implementation of sophisticated designed SOP, use of storage and inventory systems, the comprehensive utilization of machine tools and the full exploitation of human resources are several ways to help the molding workshop to improve efficiency and productivity.
