In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a bending machine main body with a detachable mounting member, and the mounting member is provided with a plate whose position can be adjusted up and down. It is characterized in that a gauge body whose position can be adjusted left and right is provided on the top, a work support member whose position can be adjusted forward and backward is provided on the gauge body, and a side gauge is detachably provided on the work support member. .

Further, it is desirable that the gauge main body is provided so that its angle can be adjusted to the left and right.

[0007]

In the above structure, when the work is thin or has a small area, after the mounting member is mounted on the entire surface of the bending machine body in order to support and guide the work,
The upper and lower positions of the plate are adjusted so that the upper surface of the work support member is aligned with the upper surface of the lower mold. After that, adjust the left and right position of the gauge body according to the bending work, and adjust the angle to the left and right if necessary. Further, the support member with the side gauge is adjusted back and forth, and the tip is brought into contact with the front surface of the lower die to prepare for bending.

Therefore, while supporting the work on the work support member, the work is guided by the side gauge and pushed forward to position the desired bending position on the lower die,
The work is bent by pressing together by the upper die and the lower die.

If the work is thin and long in the left-right direction along the lower die, it can be dealt with by using a plurality of support gauges.

Doesn't get in the way. Therefore, it is effective in improving work efficiency.

Further, since the height position of the work support member 65 can be adjusted by the vertical movement of the column member 39 and can be adjusted left and right by the elongated holes 43F and 43R, the support device 29 can be mounted on the press brake 1. Since it is easy to select the mounting position for mounting on the main body, economic effects can also be expected.

Furthermore, the tip of the work support member 65 can be fixed by abutting it on the front surface of the die 17, and the side gauge 67 can be attached and detached. If necessary, the tip of the work support member 65 can be swung left and right. Since the angle can be changed by changing the angle, even if the work W has a small plane area or the plate thickness is thin and the dimensions are long in the left and right,
Since a plurality of support devices 29 can be used or a simple operation can be performed, it is effective in improving work efficiency.

Further, since the support device 29 does not have any parts to be passed over from the front side to the back side of the die 17 in order to support the work W as in the conventional product, a part of the punch 13 is avoided in order to avoid the overrunning parts. No need to remove.

Therefore, the number of man-hours required to cope with the dimensional change of the work W is small, which is effective in improving work efficiency.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented in other modes by making appropriate modifications.
