Definitions
- the present invention concerns bending apparatus for bending sheet metal and consists of a bending bar or punch adapted to cooperate with a bending die which is provided with a longitudinally extending recess on its surface turned towards the bending bar or punch.
- the first process consists in using a punch having working edges which are at a mutual angle corresponding to the angle to be formed in the sheet.
- the die cooperating with such a punch has a recess which is V-shaped in section, wherein the angle included between the two flanks of recess again corresppnds to the angle to be achieved.
- the advantage of this bending apparatus is that a very accurate angle, within the smallest tolerances, may be realized without deviations in the sheet thickness or imprecisions in the movement of the punch being able to influence the size of the angle being formed.
- a disadvantage one must state in the first place that with this tool only a definite angle can be formed, i.e., for each different angle a separate tool pair must be provided.
- the second process consists in the so-called free bending of the sheet.
- a bending bar or punch is used the working surfaces of which are at a mutual angle considerably smaller than the smallest angle to be formed.
- the die cooperating with such a punch has, again, a recess in its surface turned to the punch with a cross-section which may in principle be of any desired shape. Often a very narrow and deep V or U-shape is chosen for the cross-section.
- free bending the sheet to be bent lies in engagement on one side thereof along two lines or edges on the die and on the other side thereof along a line or edge on the punch. The angle to which the sheet is bent essentially depends only on the amount of movement of the punch.
- the advantage of this type of bending is obvious: with the same tool pair different angles may be obtained.
- the disadvantage that must be accepted consists in that the angle formed is dependent on the sheet thickness. Particularly for thin sheets, the actual sheet thickness may significantly deviate from the nominal thickness, which inevitably leads to undesirable tolerances in the resulting angle.
- the apparatus is characterized in that at the bottom of the die recess a stop member is provided with which the spacing of the bottom of the die from the top surface of the die is adjustable.
- the stop member is formed as a readily removable and replaceable insert, whereby advantageously a set of stop members of differing thicknesses are available for selectable insertion into the die.
- Another preferred embodiment consists in mounting a stop member the height of which is adjustable. This may e.g., be realized by providing the bottom surface of the die recess along its whole length with a number of mutually adjacently arranged oblique flat surfaces,
- the stop member is arranged for displacement along the bottom of the die and may be connected with an actuator for displacing the member.
- a switch for limiting the movement of the punch may be provided in the die which switch is responsive to the pressure exerted on the stop member when in excess of a preadjustable pressure.
- FIG. 1 is a transverse section through a flrst embodiment of the application according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a transverse section through a second embodiment
- FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section along the line A-A in FIG. 2.
- the punch is designated 1 and is secured to a carrier (not shown) or like support of a folding or bending press. Its two working surfaces 2 and 3 intersect at a tip or working edge 4 at an angle which is smaller than the smallest angle it is desired to produce.
- a die 5 cooperates with the punch I and is arranged on a work table, not shown, of a nonillustrated folding or bending press.
- the die 5 has a surface 6 which is turned towards the punch 1, and in which a recess 7 is formed; in the present example the recess 7 is rectangular in cross-section.
- a stop bar 8 is inserted and extends over the whole length of the die 5.
- a sheet 9 to be bent lies against the tool pair 1 and 5 at three places, viz. along lines or edges a and b which are the edges of the recess 7 at the surface of the die and at the line c which is constituted by the working edge 4 of the punch.
- the engagement line 0 penetrates ever farther into the recess 7 until the angle of the sheet formed by the bending reaches the stop bar 8.
- a non-illustrated pressure switch is built-in which at that moment, i.e., on contact between the sheet 9 and the stop bar 8, interrupts the movement of the punch l.
- the angle formed in the sheet 9 is then defined by the opposite positions of the lines a and b, on the one hand, and the contact line of the sheet 9 with the stop bar 8 on the other hand, which latter of course lies on the surface of the stop bar 8.
- the angle is independent of the sheet thickness because all three contact lines determining the angle lie on the same side of the sheet.
- the stop bar 8 is secured by non-illustrated means to the die 5 in a readily detachable manner. To bend another angle with the same punch l and the same die 5 the stop bar 8 has to be replaced by another stop bar of different size.
- FIG. 2 Another embodiment variant is shown in FIG. 2.
- the punch is again designated with l and the die with 5.
- a stop bar 10 is positioned which has a height adjustable relative to the top surface of the die. This adjustability may be achieved, in a non-illustrated embodiment, by a plurality of spindles which carry the stop bar 10 and which are easily adjustable by a hand wheel.
- FIG. 3 A more elegant solution is shown, however, in FIG. 3.
- the bottom of the recess 7 is provided with a number of oblique flat surfaces 11 arranged behind one another, somewhat in the manner of sawteeth.
- the underside of the stop bar has correspondingly formed bevelled surfaces 12 while its top surface is plane and runs parallel to the top surface of the die.
- the spacing between the surfaces of the stop bar 10 and the die is varied. Since this spacing defines an angle to be formed in the sheet, in this way a simple means of adjustability of the die is provided for the most widely varying angles.
- the stop bar 10 may be connected with an actuating mechanism (not shown) which is controlled by a control device (also not shown).
- Bending apparatus for bending sheets comprising a punch and a cooperating die, a longitudinally extending recess in the surface of the die turned toward the punch, a stop member disposed in the bottom of the recess and having bottom and top surfaces, and means for changing said stop member to provide a different spacing between said bottom and top surfaces in the die re-. cess, whereby, the degree of bending can be varied by changing said spacing of the stop member.
