How does Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. select and install suitable molds on CNC bending machines?

Choosing and installing suitable molds on CNC bending machines is a crucial step in ensuring bending quality and efficiency. Here are some suggestions and steps to help you complete this task:
1、 Die selection
1. * * Understand workpiece requirements * *:
-Clearly define the specific requirements of the workpiece, including the material being bent, thickness, length, bending angle, and radius. These requirements will determine the type and specifications of the required molds.
2. * * Select mold type * *:
-Select the appropriate mold type according to the requirements of the workpiece. Common types of molds include single V-shaped molds, multiple V-shaped molds U-shaped molds, right angle molds, and curved molds, etc.
-Single V-shaped molds are suitable for processing smaller angles and bending radii, and are suitable for thinner metal materials; U-shaped molds are suitable for processing more complex shapes and larger bending radii, and are suitable for thicker metal materials; Right angle molds are suitable for bending right angle shapes; Radiant molds are suitable for processing bending shapes.
3. * * Consider material compatibility * *:
-Different molds are suitable for different materials, ensuring that the selected molds are compatible with the materials to be processed.
4. * * Consider bending accuracy and wear resistance * *:
-When selecting a mold, it is also necessary to consider its machining accuracy and wear resistance to ensure long-term stable use.
2、 Mold installation
1. * * Preparation work * *:
-Check the status of the CNC bending machine to ensure that it is in good working condition.
-Clean the surface of the machine to prevent dust and iron debris from affecting the installation and use of the mold.
2. * * Adjusting the slider stroke * *:
-Adjust the slider stroke according to the thickness of the selected mold to ensure that the slider can move up and down normally.
3. * * Installation of molds * *:
-Install the mold in the designated position according to the operating instructions of the CNC bending machine.
-Ensure that the mold is firmly installed without any looseness.
4. * * Adjust mold clearance * *:
-Adjust the gap between the molds according to the thickness of the folded sheet metal to ensure a reasonable gap and avoid damage to the sheet metal during the bending process.
5. * * Testing and Debugging * *:
-Before formal use, perform a simple test bending to check if the mold is installed correctly and if the bending effect meets the requirements.
-Based on the test results, perform necessary debugging until a satisfactory bending effect is achieved.
3、 Precautions
1. * * Safe operation * *:
-When selecting and installing molds, it is essential to follow the safety operating procedures of the CNC bending machine to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
2. * * Maintenance and upkeep * *:
-Regularly maintain and upkeep the mold, including cleaning, lubrication, and inspection, to extend its service life.
By following the above steps and precautions, you can select and install suitable molds on the CNC bending machine to ensure bending quality and efficiency.
