The origin and development of bending machines

The origin of bending machine technology can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution, when mechanical processing equipment began to emerge to meet the needs of large-scale production. As an important metal processing equipment, the development of bending machines is closely related to the advancement of metal processing technology. Early bending machines were mostly manually or simply mechanically driven, with complex operations and low efficiency. With the continuous advancement of technology, especially the introduction of electronic technology and computer control technology, bending machines are beginning to develop towards automation and intelligence. For example, in the 1980s, the emergence of CNC bending machines greatly improved machining accuracy and production efficiency, marking an important turning point in bending machine technology. According to an international report on the metalworking industry, the popularity rate of CNC bending machines increased from less than 5% in 1980 to over 30% in 2000, which fully demonstrates the impact of technological progress on the development of bending machines.https://www.mhtcnc.com/product/dual-linkage-of-oil-electric-servo-cnc-bending-machine/
