The cost of production will rise when a folding machine is chosen improperly, and the bending machine cannot expect to recoup its costs. Therefore, several factors must be weighed in the decision. 1. The workpiece The first important thing to consider is the part you want to produce, the main point is to buy a machine that can complete the processing tasks with the shortest working table and the smallest tonnage. We should carefully consider the material number and the thickness and length of the maximum machining. If the bulk of the work is a low carbon steel with a thickness of 16 gauge and a maximum length of 10 feet, the free bending force does not need to be greater than 50 tons. However, if you are engaged in a large number of bottom-die forming, you may want to consider a 150-ton machine. Well, let's assume the thickest material is 1/4 inch, a 10 feet free bend requires 165 tons, while a bottom-concave mold bend (corrected bending) requires at least 6...
