How does Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. choose the appropriate mold and tool during the bending process?

In the bending process of CNC bending machines, it is crucial to choose the appropriate molds and tools, as they directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of bending. The following are the key factors to consider when selecting molds and tools:
Firstly, the selection of cutting tools should be based on processing requirements and material properties. Different materials have different characteristics such as hardness, strength, and plasticity, so it is necessary to choose suitable cutting tools. For example, for materials with higher hardness, harder cutting tools should be selected to ensure machining quality and tool wear resistance. At the same time, the selection of cutting tools also needs to consider the processing type, such as cutting, bending, etc., as well as the size, shape, and accuracy requirements of the workpiece.
Secondly, the selection of molds needs to consider the length, width, bending radius, and angle of the workpiece. The size of the mold must adapt to the size of the workpiece, ensuring that it can accommodate and accurately bend. Meanwhile, the type of mold is also crucial, such as V-shaped molds, U-shaped molds, etc., which are suitable for different bending needs. In addition, the accuracy and wear resistance of the mold are also factors that need to be considered when selecting, as they directly affect the machining quality of the workpiece and the service life of the mold.
In the selection process, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the cost of molds and cutting tools. High quality and high-precision molds and tools may have higher initial investment, but they usually have better durability and processing efficiency, which can reduce maintenance and replacement frequency, thereby reducing long-term costs to a certain extent.
Finally, in order to ensure that the selected molds and tools can meet practical needs, it is recommended to conduct trial processing before formal processing, and make necessary adjustments based on the results of the trial processing. This can ensure that the expected machining accuracy and efficiency can be achieved during the formal bending process.
In summary, selecting the appropriate mold and tool requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as material properties, processing requirements, workpiece size, bending radius and angle, mold type, accuracy and wear resistance, as well as cost. Through reasonable selection and adjustment, it can be ensured that the CNC bending machine achieves the best processing effect during the bending process.
