Abstract

A final target press distance of an upper die against a workpiece can be calculated from a single folding. An upper die is forced into a V-shaped groove by a set press distance (St₁) corresponding to a set finished angle (θ₁) that is set so as to be larger than a specific finished angle (θ_F) of a workpiece from which a load applied thereto is removed when the workpiece is brought into contact with slopes of the V-shaped groove, and a finished angle (θ_M) of the workpiece is measured. A target press distance (St_T) is calculated such that an inclination (f1) of a first straight line and an inclination (f2) of a second straight line satisfy a predetermined relationship in an St-θ graph indicating the relationship between a press distance (St) and a finished angle (θ), where the first straight line passes through a measuring point that is defined by the measured finished angle (θ_M) and the set press distance (St₁) and an inflection point that is defined by the specific finished angle (θ_F) and a specific press distance (St_F) corresponding to the specific finished angle (θ_F), and where the second straight line passes through the inflection point and a machining point that is defined by the target press distance (St_T) corresponding to a target finished angle (θ_T).

Description

Bending method and system using a press brake

The present invention relates to a bending method and a bending processing system using a press brake that bends a workpiece to a target angle by relatively pushing an upper die into a V groove of a lower die. is there.

As shown in Patent Document 1, the conventional typical press brake has a lower mold having a V-groove opposed to a lower position of the upper mold and moves the upper and lower molds relatively close to and away from each other. The workpiece is bent at a predetermined angle by relatively pushing the upper die into the V groove of the lower die. For example, in a press brake of a type in which the ram with the upper mold attached is moved up and down, a workpiece such as a plate shape is supported on the lower mold, and the pressure applied by the upper mold moved down together with the ram is applied. By pushing the upper die into the V-groove while acting on the workpiece, the workpiece is bent at a predetermined angle. That is, the angle at which the workpiece is bent is determined by the moving distance of the upper die that moves from the contact to the lower end position (the amount of pressing of the upper die (stroke)).

The bending angle of the workpiece when the upper die for pressing the workpiece is unloaded and removed from the die is larger than the bending angle when the workpiece is pressurized with the upper die by the spring back. It is generally known that For this reason, in order to bend the workpiece to a target angle, the upper die is determined based on the workpiece material, plate thickness, upper and lower mold shapes, V-groove angle and width, machine rigidity, etc. The amount of indentation is calculated, and the workpiece is bent. In the present specification, the bending angle of the workpiece when the workpiece is sandwiched between the upper and lower molds is referred to as the “clipping angle”, and the bending angle of the workpiece when unloaded and spring-backed is expressed as “ It is called “finish angle”.

JP 2002-79319 A

By the way, the above-described pressing amount of the upper mold is created by previously creating a database of the influence of calculation factors such as workpiece material, plate thickness, upper and lower mold shapes, V-groove angle and width, and machine rigidity. It is calculated based on the calculation factor that is stored in the database. However, the database does not completely match the values based on the workpieces used for actual machining, press brakes, etc., and has slight errors. Therefore, the final workpiece finishing angle can be determined by a single bending process. It was difficult to set the target value.

For this reason, when bending a workpiece, a test bending process is performed in order to check the processing accuracy according to the calculated amount of pressing of the upper die and to correct the amount of pressing of the upper die. Yes. That is, the bending work is performed on the work for trial bending, the finishing angle of the work subjected to the bending work is measured, and the pushing amount of the upper mold is increased or decreased according to the finishing angle of the work. Then, the next workpiece is bent on the basis of the corrected amount of pressing of the upper die, and the process of measuring the finished angle and re-correcting the amount of pressing of the upper die is repeated several times. Through repeated trial and error, an accurate upper die push-in amount that can bend the workpiece to the final target angle is obtained. In this way, it is necessary to perform multiple trial bendings until the indentation amount of the upper die that achieves the target finish angle is obtained, and production due to loss of time and materials before the workpiece can be bent. The decline in sex was a major problem. In particular, when the upper die is pushed into the V-groove and bent so that the workpiece contacts the inclined surface of the V-groove, the workpiece is bent by contacting the workpiece with the inclined surface of the V-groove. Since the characteristics greatly change, it is difficult to obtain an accurate indentation amount of the upper die by calculation, and a plurality of trial bendings are indispensable, and improvement has been strongly desired.

On the other hand, as a method of bending a workpiece to a target finish angle while reducing the trial bending of the workpiece as described above, the bending angle (sandwich angle) of the workpiece in the in-process of bending as described in Patent Document 1 described above. ) Is known. In other words, a sensor that contacts the workpiece is placed on the upper die, and during the bending process while measuring the clamping angle of the workpiece, the workpiece is unloaded once and the finished angle of the workpiece is measured. The amount of spring back is measured from the difference between the sandwiching angle and the finished angle, and the workpiece is further bent by obtaining an additional required amount of pushing based on the result. Even when adopting an in-process machining method using such a sensor, if it is necessary to bend the workpiece so that the workpiece contacts the inclined surface of the V-groove during bending, Since the bending characteristics change greatly, it is still necessary to perform the work bending process a plurality of times, and the work efficiency is not excellent. Also, in this machining method, the installation of the sensor leads to an increase in the size of the mold and the complexity of the device, leading to a significant restriction on the shape of the work that can be machined, thereby reducing the versatility of the device. In addition, depending on the material of the workpiece, foreign matter adheres to the sensor measurement surface due to contact with the sensor, and it is pointed out that the measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, it is necessary to use an expensive sensor in order to enable high-precision measurement, which increases the manufacturing cost of the apparatus. For this reason, the in-process bending method using the above-described sensor is generally difficult to adopt.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve this problem in view of the above-mentioned problems inherent in the prior art, and the final target finish angle of the workpiece by performing a single bending process.

According to the bending method and the bending processing system using the press brake according to the present invention, the workpiece is folded to a target finish angle that requires the workpiece to contact the inclined surface of the V groove of the lower mold during the bending process.

It is possible to easily bend the workpiece to the target finish angle without being restricted by this. In addition, when the inclination of the straight line passing through the measurement point and the inflection point and the inclination of the straight line passing through the inflection point and the machining point are satisfied, the workpiece can be accurately obtained. Can be bent to the target finish angle.
In addition, by calculating the bend factor based on the formula (i), it is not necessary to create a database of bend factor values for each machining condition in advance, and the applicable range of the set finishing angle is widened to increase versatility. . Furthermore, by correcting the deflection amount of the apparatus at the time of bending the workpiece, the workpiece can be bent with higher accuracy. Furthermore, when bending is performed using an upper die having a tip formed in an arc shape, an error in which the tip of the upper die is separated from the deepest portion of the bent portion of the workpiece is corrected. As a result, the workpiece can be bent with higher accuracy.

Also, cylinder rods of hydraulic cylinders arranged as an example of the mold drive means 28 are connected to the upper left and right ends of the ram 22 at the upper positions of the left and right side frames 12 and 12, respectively. By driving this, the ram 22 is moved up and down to move the upper mold 26 up and down. The mold driving means 28 is not limited to a hydraulic cylinder, and other conventionally known means such as a ball screw driven by a servo motor can be employed.

As shown in FIG. 2, a V-shaped groove 20 (hereinafter referred to as a V-groove) that opens upward is formed on the upper surface of the lower mold 18 so as to extend in the width direction of the press brake 10. As the ram 22 moves downward, the upper mold 26 enters the V groove 20. Accordingly, when the ram 22 is moved downward while the work W is supported by the lower mold 18 so as to straddle the V-groove 20, the pressure applied by the upper mold 26 acts on the work W, whereby the work W is predetermined. It can be bent at an angle. The press brake 10 according to the first embodiment is of a type in which the upper die 26 moved downward is pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18 to bend the workpiece W. Even if the lower die 18 is moved up and down by driving the means 28 and the upper die 26 is pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18, the workpiece W can be bent similarly. . That is, when the upper mold 26 is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 disposed opposite to the upper mold 26, any of the upper and lower upper molds 26 moves up and down. There may be.

Further, the press brake 10 is provided with a control device 30 for controlling the press brake 10, and based on the workpiece machining conditions input to the input means 32 (input terminal) connected to the control device 30. The pushing amount of the upper die 26 (the amount of downward movement of the upper die 26 after coming into contact with the workpiece W) is calculated, and the upper die 26 is pushed into the V groove 20 by the calculated pushing amount. The mold drive control means 40 provided in the control device 30 drives the mold drive means 28 so that the ram 22 moves up and down. Here, the input means 32 includes an angle (for example, 80 °, 88 °, 90 °, etc.) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18, a width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18, and an upper mold. Mold information such as the tip angle of the mold 26 (for example, 80 °, 88 °, 90 °, etc.) is input, and workpiece information such as the material of the workpiece W and the thickness (t) of the workpiece W is input. Is done. Further, the input means 32 receives a target finish angle of the workpiece W (hereinafter referred to as a target finish angle (θ _T )) in the final product bent by the press brake 10, and the first time. The finished angle of the workpiece W measured after the bending process (hereinafter referred to as the measured finished angle (θ _M )) is input. Based on these input values, the first bending process is performed. The pushing amount of the upper die 26 (hereinafter referred to as a set pushing amount (St ₁ )) and the pushing amount of the upper die 26 (hereinafter referred to as a target pushing amount (St _T )) during the second and subsequent bending processes. The control device 30 is configured to calculate. In the press brake 10 according to the first embodiment, the mold information related to the upper and

lower molds

molds

18 and 26 in the storage unit 38 included in the control device 30. Corresponding mold information is automatically acquired by selecting the

molds

18 and 26 used for the bending process on the input means 32.

Next, a method for calculating the set push amount (St ₁ ) and the target push amount (St _T ) in the control device 30 will be described. The control device 30 determines the finishing angle of the workpiece W that is bent in the first bending process based on the input values (the processing condition and the target finishing angle (θ _T ) of the workpiece W) input to the input means 32. A setting unit 34 for setting a set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is provided, and a setting that is a pressing amount of the upper die 26 based on the setting finishing angle (θ ₁ ) set by the setting unit 34. calculated push amount (St _1), corresponding to the set pressing amount (St ₁₎ and the target finish angle on the basis of the input to the input unit 32 the measured finish angle (θ _{_M)} (θ _{_T)} upper A calculating means 36 for calculating the pressing amount of the mold 26 (that is, the target pressing amount (St _T )) is provided (see FIG. 3). That is, in the press brake 10 according to the first embodiment, the target of the upper die 26 corresponding to the final target angle (θ _T ) of the target workpiece W is obtained by performing the first workpiece bending process. The push-in amount (St _T ) is calculated, and the workpiece W bent at the target finish angle (θ _T ) is manufactured by bending the workpiece W for the second and subsequent times.

Here, the setting means 34 is referred to as a finished angle of the workpiece W (hereinafter referred to as a specific finished angle (θ _F )) when the workpiece W is unloaded when the workpiece W comes into contact with the inclined surface of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18. ) Is set so as to set the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) under the condition of greater than. It has been experimentally confirmed that the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) is determined depending on the thickness (t) of the workpiece W and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 for each material of the workpiece W, The value of V / t and the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) have the relationship shown in FIG. Therefore, an inflection point expression represented by the following expression (a) obtained by approximating each curve shown in FIG. 4 with a quadratic function is set in the setting means 34, and the workpiece W input to the input means 32 is set. The specific finishing angle (θ _F ) is calculated based on the machining conditions (specifically, the width dimension (V) of the V-groove 20, the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W, the material of the workpiece W), and the identification The set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is set under conditions that are larger than the finishing angle (θ _F ). Here, a, b, and c are coefficients specific to the material of the workpiece W. Table 1 shows the coefficient values for an example of the workpiece W when the angle of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 88 °. Show.

Here, the setting means 34 of the press brake 10 according to the _first embodiment sets the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) in a range of 0.1 ° ≦ θ ₁ −θ _F ≦ 7 °. In the St-θ graph (see FIG. 5) showing the relationship between the pushing amount (St) of the upper die 26 and the finishing angle (θ) of the workpiece W when the workpiece W is bent, an inflection point is described later. The calculation means 36 calculates the target finish angle (θ _T ) using changes in the slopes f1 and f2 of the straight lines before and after (a point specified by the specific pushing amount (St _F ) and the specific finish angle (θ _F )). However, because of the characteristics of the bending process, the relationship between the pushing amount (St) of the upper die 26 and the finished angle (θ) of the workpiece W is not expressed by a complete linear function. The set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is set within the range of 0.1 ° ≦ θ ₁ −θ _F ≦ 7 °, and the measurement point (the set push amount (St ₁ ) and the point specified by the actually measured finishing angle (θ _M )) ) by the close as possible to the inflection point, calculate child target pushing amount (St ₁₎ with high precision It becomes possible. On the other hand, when the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is set in the range of θ ₁ −θ _F <0.1 °, the workpiece W becomes V during bending due to the dimensional error of the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W. There is a possibility that the bending characteristics of the workpiece will change greatly in contact with the inclined surface of the groove 20, and 0.1 ° ≦ θ ₁ −θ _F is preferable. If high-precision bending is not required, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) may be set so that the value of θ ₁ -θ _F falls outside the above range.

When the setting finish angle (θ ₁ ) is set by the setting means 34, the set pushing amount (St ₁ ) is calculated by the calculation means 36 based on the setting finish angle (θ ₁ ). Here, the set push-in amount (St ₁ ) is determined based on the finish angle of the work W bent and unloaded in the air bend state, the push-in amount of the upper die 26, from the geometric shape of the work W bending. It is calculated from the relational expression showing the relationship of

Therefore, the derivation of the relational expression showing the relationship between the finished angle of the work W bent and unloaded in the air bend state and the pushing amount of the upper die 26 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the following equation (b) is geometrically determined from the bent state of the work W with an air bend.

Further, when attention is paid to the triangular portion shown by oblique lines in FIG. 7, the following equations (c) and (d) are obtained. Note that the bending angle (θ) in the equations (b) to (d) is the sandwiching angle.

Since the relationship α = (180−θ) / 2 is obtained from FIG. 7, assuming that the inner radius R of the work bent portion and the inner arc length A of the work bent portion, the relationship A = 2παR / 180 is obtained. The following formula (e) can be obtained by combining the formulas (b) to (d) by using the above. In FIG. 7, the upper mold 26 for pressurizing the workpiece W is omitted. Note that, when the workpiece W is unloaded after the upper die 26 is pressed by applying the pressing force, a springback occurs. Therefore, the amount of bending when the workpiece W is plastically deformed to the center is determined by the elastic recovery of the workpiece W. The correction amount δ is calculated by calculation of the bending of material mechanics, and is subtracted from the pushing amount of the upper die 26. In this way, by correcting the elastic recovery correction amount δ, the bending angle (θ) in the equation (e) can be regarded as a finished angle.

The arc length A means the length of the arc portion of the workpiece bending portion in the mathematical formula, but the bent portion of the workpiece W that is actually bent is not a complete arc. , A is referred to as “bend factor (A)”.

The bend factor (A) is the processing conditions of the workpiece W (specifically, the angle (φ) of the V groove 20, the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20, the material of the workpiece W, the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W) ) And the value determined based on the relationship with the finished angle of the workpiece W during bending. Therefore, in the first embodiment, a bend factor data table indicating the relationship between the finished angle (θ) of the workpiece W and the bend factor (A) obtained by the finite element analysis method is stored in the storage unit 38 for each machining condition of the workpiece W. It is remembered. Table 2 shows an example of the bend factor data table stored in the storage means 38, and FIG. 8 shows an example of the cold rolled steel sheet (SPCC) as a graph in the bend factor data table stored in the storage means 38. Is. That is, the calculation means 36 calculates the bend factor (A ₁ ) corresponding to the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) set by the setting means 34 based on the machining conditions of the workpiece W input to the input means 32. Obtained from the bend factor data table stored in the storage means 38. In the above formula (e), the set push amount (St ₁ ) is calculated under the conditions of A = A ₁ and θ = θ ₁ .

Further, when the measured finishing angle (θ _M ) measured from the workpiece W after the first bending of the workpiece is input to the input unit 32, the calculating unit 36 sets the set push-in amount (St ₁ ) and measured. Based on the finishing angle (θ _M ), the target pressing amount (St _T ) that is the pressing amount of the upper mold 26 corresponding to the target finishing angle (θ _T ) is set. Specifically, the calculation means 36 is a St-θ graph representing the relationship between the pushing amount (St) of the upper die 26 and the finish angle (θ) of the workpiece W, and the measured finish angle (θ _M ) and Using the point determined by the set push amount (St ₁ ) as a measurement point, the specific push amount (St _F ) that becomes the push amount of the upper mold 26 corresponding to the specific finish angle (θ _F ) and the specific finish angle (θ _F ) ) and inflection points the point defined by, when said target finishing angle (theta _T) target pushing amount of the push-in amount of the upper die 26 corresponding to the (St _T) was processed point, surveying a fixed point and The target indentation amount (St _T ) is calculated so that the inclination (f1) of the straight line passing through the inflection point and the inclination (f2) of the straight line passing through the inflection point and the machining point satisfy a predetermined relationship. Is set.

Specifically, in the calculation means 36, θ = θ _M in the above equation (e) from the actually measured finishing angle (θ _M ) and the set push amount (St ₁ ) of the workpiece W input to the input means 32. The corrected bend factor (A ′) is calculated backward under the condition of St = St ₁ and A = A ′, θ = in the above formula (e) from the corrected bend factor (A ′) and the specific finished angle (θ _F ). Based on the specific indentation amount (St _F ) calculated under the condition of θ _F , the measurement point and the inflection point in the St-θ graph are specified, and the slope of the straight line passing through the measurement point and the inflection point ( f1) is calculated.

The calculating means 36 calculates the measurement point and the inflection point in the St-θ graph when the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 and the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W are set. The relationship between the inclination (f1) of the straight line passing through and the inclination (f2) of the straight line passing through the inflection point and the machining point passes through the inflection point and the machining point so as to satisfy the relationship of the following formula (f). The inclination (f2) of the straight line is determined, and corresponds to the target finish angle (θ _T ) of the workpiece W input to the input means 32 on the straight line of the inclination (f2) passing through the inflection point and the machining point. The pushing amount is calculated as a target pushing amount (St _T ). Then, when the target pushing amount (St _T ) is calculated by the calculating means 36, the mold of the control device 30 is pushed so that the upper mold 26 is pushed into the V groove 20 by the calculated target pushing amount (St _T ). The mold drive control means 40 controls the mold drive means 28 to execute the second and subsequent bending processes.

When the target pushing amount (St _T ) is calculated by the calculating means 36, the control device 30 moves the die 30 so that the upper die 26 is pushed into the V groove 20 by the calculated target pushing amount (St _T ). The drive means 28 is driven and controlled, and the second and subsequent bending processes are executed. As a result, the work W whose final finishing angle (θ _L ) after being bent by the second and subsequent bending processes is in the range of −0.25 ° ≦ θ _L −θ _T ≦ 0.25 °. Can be obtained. That is, when the upper mold 26 is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18, the target finish angle at which the work W needs to be brought into contact with the inclined surface of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18. even in the case of bending the workpiece W to (θ _T), is calculated once the target pressing amount corresponding to the target finish angle (theta _T) by performing a bending of the workpiece W to (St _T) Thus, the number of times the workpiece W is bent before the product can be manufactured can be greatly reduced, and productivity can be improved. In addition, since it is not necessary to measure the bending angle of the workpiece W during the bending process, a special mold having a sensor or the like is not required for the upper and

lower molds

18 and 26, and the general-purpose general-purpose used. Since a mold can be adopted, the workpiece W can be easily bent at the target finish angle (θ _T ) without being restricted by the shape of the workable workpiece.

[Experimental example]
Next, an experimental example in which the workpiece W is bent using the bending method and the bending system using the press brake 10 according to Example 1 described above will be described. In this experimental example, the input means 32 has an angle (φ) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 of 88 °, a tip angle of the upper mold 26 of 88 °, and a target finish angle (θ _T ) of the workpiece W. The workpiece W was bent under the input of 90 °. 9 to 30, in the case where a one-dot chain line is displayed at a position of 90 ± 0.25 ° on the vertical axis and there is data between the one-dot chain line, −0.25 ° ≦ θ _L −θ _T It represents that the bending work of the work W with high accuracy satisfying ≦ 0.25 ° is performed.

(First experiment example)
In the first experimental example, a workpiece W in which aluminum (A5052P) is formed with a plate thickness (t) = 1.5 mm is used. The lower mold 18 was bent. In this first experimental example, (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 5.0 and θ ₁ −θ _F = 1.5 ° in the above formula (f). The experimental results are shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 and Table 3.

In the first test when the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 8 mm, the specific finish angle (θ _F ) calculated from the above formula (a) = 90.48 ° is shown in Table 3. As shown in the figure, a set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 91.98 ° and a set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 3.152 mm were obtained. Then, from the first work bending process based on the set push amount (St ₁ ) = 3.152 mm, the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 91.43 °, the specific push amount (St _F ) = 3.190 mm, Target pushing amount (St _T ) = 3.212 mm was obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed based on the target push amount (St _T ) = 3.212 mm, θ _L −θ _T = 0 was obtained. Further, in the same second test, θ _L -θ _T = −0.02 °, and in the third test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.03 °. In addition, the pushing amount in Table 3 is a dimension in which the upper die 26 is actually pushed into the V groove 20 in the bending process, and the same applies to Tables 4 to 10 below.

Further, in the first test when the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 10 mm, from the specific finish angle (θ _F ) = 91.10 ° calculated from the above formula (a), As shown in Table 3, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 92.60 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 4.093 mm were obtained. From the first workpiece bending process based on the set push amount (St ₁ ) = 4.093 mm, the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 92.58 °, the specific push amount (St _F ) = 4.172 mm, the target push The quantity (St _T ) = 4.231 mm was obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed based on this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 4.231 mm, θ _L −θ _T = 0 ° was obtained. Further, in the same second test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.02 °, and in the third test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.03 °.

Further, in the first test when the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is set to 12 mm, from the specific finish angle (θ _F ) = 91.58 ° calculated from the above formula (a), As shown in Table 3, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 93.08 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 5.039 mm were obtained. From the first workpiece bending process based on the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 5.039 mm, the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 92.72 °, the specific indentation amount (St _F ) = 5.116 mm, the target indentation The quantity (St _T ) = 5.202 mm was obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed based on this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.202 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.17 °. Further, in the same second test, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.08 °, and in the third test, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.05 °.

In the first test when the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is set to 16 mm, from the specific finish angle (θ _F ) = 92.10 ° calculated from the above formula (a), As shown in Table 3, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 93.60 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 6.938 mm were obtained. From the first workpiece bending process based on the set push amount (St ₁ ) = 6.938 mm, the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 94.00 °, the specific push amount (St _F ) = 7.130 mm, the target Indentation amount (St _T ) = 7.252 mm was obtained. Then, when the second work bending process was performed based on this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 7.252 mm, θ _L −θ _T = −0.03 °. Further, in the same second test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.17 °, and in the third test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.02 °.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the target push amount (St _T ) corresponding to the target finish angle (θ _T ) can be calculated by performing the first bending of the workpiece W, In the second and subsequent work bending processes, high-precision bending is performed by pressing the upper mold 26 into the V-groove 20 based on the target pressing amount (St _T ).

(Example 2)
In the second experimental example, the width dimension (V) of the V-groove 20 (V) = 12 mm and V / V for a workpiece W in which aluminum (A5052P) is formed to a predetermined plate thickness (t) = 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm. Bending was performed using a lower mold 18 having a thickness of 16 mm. In this experimental example, in the above formula (f), (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 4.5 and θ ₁ −θ _F = 1.5 °. The experimental results are shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 and Table 4.

In the case where the workpiece thickness (t) = 1.5 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 12 mm, the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) calculated from the above formula (a) = From 91.58 °, as shown in Table 4, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 93.08 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 5.039 mm were obtained, and the result of the first workpiece bending process The actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 92.72 °, the specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 5.115 mm, and the target pushing amount (St _T ) = 5.177 mm were obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed based on this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.177 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.23 °. Further, in the first test in the case where the workpiece thickness (t) = 2.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower die 18 = 12 mm, as shown in Table 4, a specific finish angle (θ _F ) = 90.81 °, setting finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 92.31 ° and setting indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 4.833 mm are obtained. As a result of the first work bending, the actually measured finish is obtained. An angle (θ _M ) = 92.10 °, a specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 4.911 mm, and a target pushing amount (St _T ) = 4.948 mm were obtained. Then, when the second bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 4.948 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.08 °, and in the same second test, , Θ _L −θ _T = + 0.05 °. Further, in the first test in the case where the workpiece thickness (t) = 3.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 16 mm, as shown in Table 4, a specific finish angle (θ _F ) = 90.48 °, setting finish angle (θ ₁ ) = 91.98 °, setting indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 6.295 mm are obtained, and as a result of the first work bending process, the measured finish is obtained. An angle (θ _M ) = 92.18 °, a specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 6.433 mm, and a target pushing amount (St _T ) = 6.466 mm were obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 6.466 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.08 °, and the same second test was conducted. Then, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.12 °.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, by setting (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 4.5, by performing the first bending of the workpiece W, the target finish angle ( The target push amount (St _T ) corresponding to θ _T ) can be calculated. In the second and subsequent workpiece bending processes, the upper die 26 is placed in the V groove 20 based on the target push amount (St _T ) A highly accurate bending process is performed by pushing in.

(Third experimental example)
In the third experimental example, the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 (V) = 12 mm and V = 16 mm for a workpiece W formed of aluminum (A5052P) with a predetermined thickness (t) = 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm. Bending was performed using the lower die 18. In this experimental example, in the above formula (f), (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 6.5, and θ ₁ −θ _F = 1.5 °. The experimental results are shown in FIGS. 16 to 17 and Table 5.

In the first test when the workpiece thickness (t) = 1.5 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 12 mm, the specific finishing angle calculated from the above formula (a) ( from θ _F) = 91.58 °, set finishing angle as shown in Table _{5 (θ 1) = 93.08 °} , set pressing amount (St ₁₎ = 5.039mm are obtained, the first workpiece folding As a result of bending, the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 92.58 °, the specific indentation amount (St _F ) = 5.106 mm, and the target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.196 mm were obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.196 mm, θ _L −θ _T = −0.22 °, and the second performed in the same manner. In the test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.18 °. In the first test in which the workpiece thickness (t) = 3.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 16 mm, the specific finish calculated from the above formula (a) is used. From the angle (θ _F ) = 90.48 °, the set finished angle (θ ₁ ) = 91.98 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 6.295 mm are obtained. As a result of the first bending process, The actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 92.18 °, the specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 6.433 mm, and the target pushing amount (St _T ) = 6.481 mm were obtained. Then, when the second workpiece bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 6.481 mm, θ _L −θ _T = −0.17 °, which was the same as the second performed. In the test, θ _L −θ _T = −0.02 °.

In this way, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 17, by setting (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 6.5, the target finish is achieved by performing the first bending work W. The target push amount (St _T ) corresponding to the angle (θ _T ) can be calculated. In the second and subsequent workpiece bending processes, the upper die 26 is moved to the V-groove based on the target push amount (St _T ). By being pushed into 20, a highly accurate bending process is performed. That is, from the first experimental example to the third experimental example, when the value of (f1 / f2) × (V / t) satisfies the relationship of formula (f), It is possible to obtain a workpiece W bent with high accuracy in the range of 0.25 ° ≦ θ _L −θ _T ≦ 0.25 °.

(Example 4)
In the fourth experimental example, the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 (V) = 12 mm and V = 16 mm for a workpiece W in which aluminum (A5052P) is formed to a predetermined plate thickness (t) = 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm. Bending was performed using the lower mold 18. In this experimental example, in the above formula (f), (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 3.0 and θ ₁ −θ _F = 1.5 °. The experimental results are shown in FIGS.

In the first test where the workpiece thickness (t) = 1.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 12 mm, the specific finishing angle calculated from the above formula (a) ( From θ _F ) = 92.15 °, a set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 93.65 ° and a set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 5.297 mm are obtained. As a result of the first bending, the actually measured finish is obtained. An angle (θ _M ) = 93.70 °, a specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 5.413 mm, and a target pushing amount (St _T ) = 5.456 mm were obtained.

In the first test in which the workpiece thickness (t) = 1.5 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 16 mm, the specific finish calculated from the above formula (a) is used. From the angle (θ _F ) = 92.10 °, the set finished angle (θ ₁ ) = 93.60 ° and the set push-in amount (St ₁ ) = 6.937 mm are obtained, and the result of the first workpiece bending process The actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 93.75 °, the specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 7.103 mm, and the target pushing amount (St _T ) = 7.169 mm were obtained.

(Example 7)
In the seventh experimental example, the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 (V) = 6 mm, V for a work W in which aluminum (A5052P) is formed to have a predetermined thickness (t) = 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm. Folding was performed using the lower mold 18 with = 10 mm and V = 12 mm. In this experimental example, in the above formula (f), (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 5.0 and θ ₁ −θ _F = 7.0 °.

Furthermore, in the first test when the workpiece thickness (t) = 2.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V-groove 20 of the lower mold 18 = 12 mm, the specific finish calculated from the above formula (a) is used.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, even when the _first work W is bent at θ ₁ −θ _F = 7.0 °, the target push-in corresponding to the target finish angle (θ _T ) is performed. The amount (St _T ) can be calculated. In the second and subsequent workpiece bending processes, the upper die 26 is pushed into the V-groove 20 based on the target pushing amount (St _T ). A highly accurate bending process is performed in a range of .25 ° ≦ θ _L −θ _T ≦ 0.25 °.

(Example 8)
In the eighth experimental example, the width dimension (V) of the V-groove 20 (V) = 12 mm, V for a workpiece W in which aluminum (A5052P) is formed to a predetermined plate thickness (t) = 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm. Bending was performed using a lower mold 18 having a thickness of 16 mm and V = 18 mm. In this experimental example, in the above formula (f), (f1 / f2) × (V / t) = 5.0 and θ ₁ −θ _F = 10.0 °. The experimental results are shown in FIGS. 28 to 30 and Table 10.

In the case where the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece is 1.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 12 mm, the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) calculated from the above formula (a) = 92 From 15 °, a set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) = 102.15 ° and a set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 4.695 mm are obtained. As a result of the first bending, the actually measured finishing angle (θ _M ) is obtained. = 101.95 °, specific indentation amount (St _F ) = 5.393 mm, and target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.471 mm. When the second bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 5.471 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 1.10 °. In the second test conducted in the same manner, _L −θ _T = + 1.00 °. In the first test when the workpiece thickness (t) = 1.5 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 16 mm, the specific finish calculated from the above formula (a) is used. From the angle (θ _F ) = 92.10 °, the set finished angle (θ ₁ ) = 102.10 ° and the set indentation amount (St ₁ ) = 6.128 mm are obtained. As a result of the first bending process, The actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) = 102.22 °, the specific pushing amount (St _F ) = 7.101 mm, and the target pushing amount (St _T ) = 7.222 mm were obtained. When the second bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 7.222 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.38 °, and in the second test conducted in the same manner, _L −θ _T = + 0.62 °.

Then, when the second bending process was performed under the condition of this target indentation amount (St _T ) = 7.941 mm, θ _L −θ _T = + 0.58 °, and in the same second test, , Θ _L −θ _T = + 0.63 °.

That is, when θ ₁ −θ _F = 10.0 °, the accuracy of the finished angle of the bent workpiece W is lower than in the first to third experimental examples, and 0.1 ° ≦ θ It has been experimentally clarified that ₁ −θ _F ≦ 7.0 ° is preferable for performing high-precision bending.

Next, a bending method and a bending system using the press brake according to the second embodiment will be described. Since the configuration of the press brake according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the press brake 10 shown in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In the first embodiment described above, the processing conditions of the workpiece W (specifically, the angle (φ) of the V groove 20, the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20, the material of the workpiece W, the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W). set the bend factor data table in advance a database of values of the bend factor (a ₁₎ each, the bend factor corresponding to the set set finishing angle by setting means _{_{34 (θ 1) (a 1}} ), the input The upper die 26 is pushed in during the first bending process using the bend factor (A ₁ ) acquired based on the processing conditions of the workpiece W input to the means 32 and acquired from the bend factor data table. The set push amount (St ₁ ) is calculated. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the bend factor (A ₁ ) corresponding to the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is approximately calculated by calculation, so that the labor for constructing the bend factor data table in advance is omitted. Thus, the amount of data set in the storage means 38 is reduced, and the range that can be adopted as the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) is expanded to improve versatility.

As apparent from the relationship between the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) and the bend factor (A) shown in FIG. 8, the value of the bend factor (A) varies depending on the finishing angle (θ) of the workpiece W. In order to increase the accuracy of the target push amount (St _T ) calculated backward by bending, it is desirable to use a value close to the target finish angle (θ _T ) as the set finish angle (θ ₁ ). Further, the value of the bend factor (A) has a smaller fluctuation range than the change in the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) of the workpiece W, and the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) becomes small (that is, the target pushing amount (St _T )). It can be seen that the value becomes almost constant as the value approaches. Therefore, the following equation (g) is expressed as an equation that approximates the curve shape of FIG. The value of C _t in the equation (g) is an approximate absolute value of the bend factor (A ₁ ) value corresponding to the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) of the workpiece W. Further, θ _x is a finishing angle (that is, an upper limit value of the set finishing angle) that is an upper limit at which the workpiece W can be bent using the equation (g), and θ _y is a value of the bend factor (A ₁ ). Is a reference angle (hereinafter referred to as an approximate angle).

That is, the finishing angle (θ _x ) that is the upper limit at which the workpiece W can be bent is determined in a range of θ _F <θ _x ≦ 180 °. Here, the theta _x since the upper limit that can be bending the workpiece W, it is preferable to adopt a value close to 180 °. Further, as the finish angle (θ) of the workpiece W approaches the specific finish angle (θ _F ), the change in the bend factor (A) greatly affects the pushing amount of the upper die 26. Therefore, in order to increase the approximation accuracy, it is preferable to set the bend factor (A ₁ ) value close to the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) as the approximate angle θ _y that serves as a reference. However, as can be seen from FIG. 31, due to the characteristics of the bending process, the bending behavior of the workpiece W changes suddenly from the vicinity where the workpiece W starts to contact the inclined surface of the V groove 20, so that the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) is obtained. It is not appropriate to use a close value as a reference for approximating the value of the bend factor (A). That is, the approximate angle (θ _y ) that approximates the value of the bend factor (A) is preferably determined within the range of θ _F <θ _y <θ _x , and more preferably 95 ° ≦ θ _y <θ _x. Range. Here, the accuracy of θ _y is improved by adopting a value close to the target finish angle (θ _T ) that is the final finish angle of the workpiece W. In the second embodiment, a case where θ _x = 170 ° θ _y = 100 ° is described, and an approximate value of the bend factor (A ₁ ) at this time is expressed as A ₁₀₀ (that is, C _t = A ₁₀₀ ). .

Here, the following equation (h) is obtained by logarithmically approximating the relationship between (V / t) and (A ₁₀₀ / V) shown in FIG. Incidentally, d in the formula (h), e is an inherent coefficient determined by the material of the workpiece W, illustrating each coefficient value of the one example of the work W in the case of the A ₁₀₀ in Table 11.

Summarizing the formula (g) and the formula (h), the following formula (i) can be obtained. That is, the bend factor (A ₁ ) as an approximate value is calculated by setting θ = θ ₁ in the following equation (i), and from the calculated bend factor (A ₁ ) and the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ), A set push amount (St ₁ ) is calculated based on the equation (e).

Specifically, the calculation means 36 of the control device 30 provided in the press brake 10 according to the second embodiment uses the bend factor (A ₁ ) corresponding to the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) set by the setting means 34. Is calculated under the condition of θ = θ ₁ in the equation (i), and the set push amount (St ₁ ) is calculated under the conditions of A = A ₁ and θ = θ ₁ in the equation (e). The corrected bend factor (A ′) is set under the condition that θ = θ _M in the equation (e) from the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) and the set pushing amount (St ₁ ) of the workpiece input to the input means 32. ) To the specific indentation amount (St _F ) calculated from the corrected bend factor (A ′) and the specific finishing angle (θ _F ) under the condition that A = A ′ and θ = θ _F in the equation (e). Based on this, the slope (f1) of the straight line passing through the measurement point and the inflection point is calculated. Cormorant is set.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the bend factor data table in which the bend factor (A ₁ ) for each machining condition of the workpiece W is previously stored in the database is not stored in the storage unit 38, and the set finish angle (θ ₁ ) is supported. The bend factor (A ₁ ) to be calculated can be calculated. In addition, when the bend factor (A ₁ ) is databased as a bend factor data table, the set finishing angle (θ ₁ ) that is not included in the bend factor data table cannot be used. By calculating the bend factor (A ₁ ) approximately as described above, as long as the condition “set finish angle (θ ₁ )> specific finish angle (θ _F )” is satisfied, the applicable set finish angle (θ ₁ ) The versatility is improved.

Next, a bending method and a bending system using the press brake according to the third embodiment will be described. Since the configuration of the press brake according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the press brake 10 shown in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

When the workpiece W is bent by relatively pushing the upper die 26 into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18, the processing load (W) when the upper die 26 is pushed into the V groove 20. In response to this, “deflection” occurs in the bed 14 of the press brake 10, the upper and

lower molds

18 and 26, and other apparatus constituent members. Therefore, when the mold driving device 30 is driven so that the upper mold 26 is pushed into the V groove 20 with the set push amount (St ₁ ) or the target push amount (St _T ), the set push amount (St ₁ ) or the target push amount (St _T ) and the push amount in which the upper die 26 is actually pushed into the V groove 20 causes an error due to “deflection”. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the upper die 26 is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18 with a pushing amount obtained by correcting the deflection on the press brake 10 side that occurs during the bending process. A bending method and a bending processing system using a press brake capable of performing the bending processing will be described. In the following description, the deflection that occurs on the side of the press brake 10 during the bending process is expressed as the device deflection amount (λ).

The amount of device deflection (λ) is the longitudinal stiffness coefficient (k) [kN / mm] of the press brake 10, and the processing load (W when the upper die 26 is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18. ) [KN], it can be expressed as λ = W / k by Hooke's law. That is, the device deflection (λ) is determined by the machining load (W). The longitudinal stiffness coefficient (k) is a value specific to the press brake 10 and can be obtained from design values and experiments of the press brake 10. The longitudinal stiffness coefficient (k) of the press brake 10 used in the third embodiment is used. ) Is k = 178.57.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 33, when the workpiece W is bent in a state where it is in an air bend (that is, when the pushing amount (St) of the upper mold 26 does not reach the specific pushing amount (St _F )). Indicates that the processing load (W) slightly increases or decreases slightly as the push-in amount (St) increases depending on the material of the workpiece W, while the processing load (W) becomes a substantially constant value, while the workpiece W is V When the workpiece W is bent while being in contact with the inclined surface of the groove 20 (that is, when the upper die 26 is pushed with a pushing amount equal to or greater than the specific pushing amount (St _F )), the pushing amount (St) It is known that the machining load (W) increases rapidly with an increase in.

Here, when bending the workpiece W with air bend, until the finish angle (θ) of the workpiece W reaches 135 °, the machining load (W) is almost constant even if the pushing amount (St) increases. No change was found by finite element analysis. Therefore, the finishing angle finishing angle of the workpiece W (theta) is the 135 ° with respect finish angle (theta _A), reference finishing angle (theta _A) as a reference push-in amount of the push-in amount of the upper die 26 comprising (St _A ) In the case of “finish angle of the workpiece W (θ) ≧ reference finish angle (θ _A )” (that is, “the push amount of the upper mold 26 (St) ≦ the reference push amount (St _A )”). The processing load (W _a ) is a known fact and can be expressed by the following formula (j). In the following description, the machining load (W _a ) when “finished angle (θ) ≧ reference finished angle (θ _A ) of the workpiece W” is referred to as a reference machining load.

Here, the relationship between the ratio (V / t) of the width (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 and the thickness (t) of the workpiece W and the coefficient (k ₁ ) is analyzed by the finite element analysis method. The results obtained are shown in FIG. From FIG. 34, since linear approximation can be performed in the range of 5 ≦ V / t ≦ 10, k ₁ = −0.055 × V / t + 1.753 as shown in the equation (j).

When bending is performed within the range of “specific finish angle (θ _F ) ≦ finish angle of workpiece W (θ) ≦ reference finish angle (θ _A )” (that is, “reference push amount (St _A ) ≦ upper metal In the case of the indentation amount (St) ≦ specific indentation amount (St _F ) ”of the die 26), as described above, gradually increases from the reference processing load (W _a ) as the indentation amount (St) of the upper die 26 increases. Or gradually decrease. Here, between “specific finish angle (θ _F ) ≦ θ ≦ reference finish angle (θ _A )”, the amount of change in the processing load (W) is slight because the bending is performed in the air bend state. It can be considered that the processing load (W) changes linearly. Therefore, the processing load (W) for bending in the range of “specific finishing angle (θ _F ) ≦ θ ≦ reference finishing angle (θ _A )” is the processing load at the specific finishing angle (θ _F ). When the load (W _f ) is used, it is expressed by the following equation (k). Note that k _f in the equation (k) is a specific coefficient determined by the material of the work W, and Table 12 shows coefficient values for an example of the work W.

Further, when bending is performed in the range of “finish angle (θ) ≦ specific finish angle (θ _F ) of work W” (that is, “specific push amount (St _F ) ≦ push amount (St) of upper die 26”. ”), Since the workpiece W is bent while the workpiece W is in contact with the inclined surface of the V groove 20, the processing load (St) increases as the pressing amount (St) of the upper mold 26 increases as shown in FIG. W) increases rapidly from the specific processing load (W _f ). Here, the increase of the push amount (St) and the change amount of the work load (W) in the bending process within the range of “specific push amount (St _F ) ≦ push amount (St) of the upper die 26” are expressed as k _w FIG. 35 shows the result of measuring the relationship between the plate thickness (t) of the workpiece W and k _w / W _a by simulation. We obtain an approximate expression of k _w to FIG. 35 and logarithmic approximation, represents the processing load (W) in the "finishing angle (theta) ≦ particular finishing angle of the workpiece W (θ _F)" by the following equation (l) . Note that k _a and k _b in equation (l) are specific coefficients determined by the material of the workpiece W, and Table 13 shows coefficient values for an example of the workpiece W.

Summarizing the above, by calculating the processing load (W) according to the finished angle (θ) of the workpiece W by the following formula (m), the amount of deflection of the device at the finished angle (θ) of the workpiece W is calculated. (λ) can be obtained.

In the press brake 10 according to the third embodiment, the device deflection amount (λ ₁ ) obtained under the condition that θ = θ ₁ and St = St ₁ in the formula (m) is set as the set push amount (St ₁ ). The calculation means 36 is set so that the correction setting push amount (St ₁ ′) is calculated by addition (St ₁ ′ = St ₁ + λ ₁ ), and the correction set push amount (St ₁ ) calculated by the calculation means 36 (St ₁ ′). ₁ ), the mold drive control means 40 controls the mold drive means 28 so that the first bending process is executed. That is, the set pressing amount (St ₁₎ In the apparatus deflection amount when bending (lambda ₁₎ correction setting pushing amount obtained by correcting the (St 1 _') finishing angle of the workpiece W after bending at said actual It is measured as the finished angle (θ _M ). Similarly, the calculation means 36 adds the device deflection amount (λ _T ) obtained under the condition of θ = θ _T and St = St _T in the equation (m) to the target push amount (St _T ). The correction target push amount (St _T ′) is set to be calculated (St _T ′ = St _T + λ _T ), and the mold drive control means is set according to the corrected target push amount (St _T ′) calculated by the calculation means 36. 40 is configured so that the second and subsequent bending processes are executed by driving and controlling the mold driving means 28.

That is, the upper mold 26 is actually driven by driving the upper mold 26 so that the corrected set push amount (St ₁ ′) obtained by correcting the device deflection amount (λ ₁ ) generated when bending is performed with the set push amount (St ₁ ). Since the workpiece W is bent at the set indentation amount (St ₁ ), the bending accuracy in the first bending is improved. Thereby, the accuracy of the corrected bend factor (A ′) calculated based on the set push amount (St ₁ ) and the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) is improved, and the correction is performed based on the corrected bend factor (A ′). The processing accuracy of the second and subsequent bending processes can be increased. Also, driving the upper mold 26 to be the target push-in amount the workpiece W (St _T) occurring during the bending process in the apparatus deflection amount (lambda _T) corrected target pressing amount obtained by correcting the (St T _') Since the workpiece W is actually bent at the target push amount (St _T ), the workpiece W can be bent at the target finish angle (θ _T ) with high accuracy.

Next, a bending method and a bending system using the press brake according to the fourth embodiment will be described. Since the configuration of the press brake according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the press brake 10 shown in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In the fourth embodiment, a case will be described in which the upper die 26 having a tip formed in an arc shape is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18 to bend the workpiece W. In the following description, it represents the arc radius of the distal end portion of the upper mold 26 as the tip radius R _P (see FIG. 36). First, when the workpiece W is bent by relatively pushing the upper die 26 having a square tip end into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18, the workpiece W is bent. Since the state in which the corner end portion of the upper die 26 is in contact with the deepest portion CP (see FIG. 36) of the bent portion of the workpiece W is maintained even if the upper die 26 advances, the pushing amount (St ) Will be bent. On the other hand, when the upper mold 26 whose tip is formed in an arc shape is relatively pushed into the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18, the inner radius R of the workpiece bending portion is increased. until it coincides with the point radius R _P of the mold 26, as if tip of the corner shape of the upper mold 26, the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the workpiece W to the distal end portion PE of the upper die 26 The bending process proceeds while contacting. On the other hand, the upper mold 26 is pushed in into the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18, the inner surface radius R of the workpiece bent portion is less tip radius R _P of the upper mold 26 (i.e., R ≦ R _P ), The bending process proceeds so that the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the workpiece W is separated from the distal end portion PE of the upper mold 26 as shown in FIG. That is, in the region where the inner surface radius R of the workpiece bent portion is equal to or less than the tip radius R _P of the upper mold 26, the gap between the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the distal end portion PE and the workpiece W of the upper die 26 Will be able to. Therefore, the pushing amount (St) of the upper mold 26 necessary for bending the workpiece W to a predetermined finishing angle (θ) is larger than that in the case of using the upper mold 26 having a tip formed in a square shape. In the case of using the upper mold 26 whose tip is formed in an arcuate shape, it becomes shorter.

Here, the pushing amount (St) obtained by the above-described equation (e) is such that the tip of the upper die 26 is located at the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the workpiece W like the upper die 26 having a square tip. The amount of pressing (St) of the upper die 26 when bending is performed under the condition where the part PE is in contact. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, when the workpiece W is bent at a predetermined finishing angle (θ) using the upper mold 26 whose tip is formed in an arc shape, the pushing amount obtained by the above-described equation (e) is used. (St) can be corrected by the gap between the tip portion PE of the upper mold 26 and the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the workpiece W, so that the workpiece W can be bent more precisely. A bending method and a bending system using a press brake will be described. In the following description, a value obtained by correcting the indentation amount (St) obtained by the equation (e) so as to correspond to the bending process in the upper die 26 having a circular arc shape at the tip portion is an R-bend correction indentation amount ( St ″), and the gap distance between the front end PE of the upper mold 26 and the deepest portion CP of the bent portion of the workpiece W is expressed as an indentation amount error (D).

Here, the relationship between the indentation amount (St) obtained by the equation (e), the R-bend correction indentation amount (St ″), and the indentation amount error (D) is geometrically shown in FIG. (N).

As shown in FIG. 36, the center point of the tip arc of the upper mold 26 is O, and the intersection of the perpendicular passing through the center point O with respect to the flat surface of the work W and the flat surface of the work W is P, From the relationship of the triangle OPQ, when the intersection point where the extension line along the flat surface of the workpiece W passing through the intersection point P intersects with the vertical line passing through the center point O of the tip arc of the upper die 26 is represented by the following equation: (o) is obtained.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 36, the center point of the arc portion of the workpiece bending portion in the bent workpiece W is defined as O ′, and a perpendicular drawn from the center point O ′ to the flat plate surface of the workpiece W and the workpiece W The following formula (p) is obtained from the relationship of the triangle O′P′Q where the intersection point with the flat plate surface is P ′. As in the paragraph [0037], the inner radius of the bent part of the work is R.

Summarizing the above, the following expression (q) is obtained. That is, as shown in Paragraph [0037], α = (180−θ) / 2 has a relationship, and as shown in Equation (e), R = 180A / {(180−θ) × π} Therefore, by obtaining a bend factor (A) corresponding to the finishing angle (θ) as in Example 1 or Example 2, the tip radius (R _P ) of the upper mold 26 and the finishing angle of the workpiece W ( The push-in amount error (D) according to θ) can be obtained, and by substituting it into the above-described equation (n), the upper die 26 having the arcuate tip is actually used as the V groove 20 of the lower die 18. The amount of pushing to be relatively pushed into the inside is obtained.

Here, the plate thickness (t) is set to 1.0 mm under the condition that the tip radius (R _P ) of the upper mold 26 is 1.0 mm and the width dimension (V) of the V groove 20 of the lower mold 18 is 6 mm. When bending the workpiece W of the formed aluminum (A5052P), the pressing amount of the upper die 26 (that is, the R bending correction pressing amount (St ″)) obtained by the above-described formula (n) and the finishing angle ( The relationship with θ) is indicated by a solid line in FIG. 37, and the analysis value of the R bending correction push amount (St ″) analyzed by the finite element analysis method is plotted in the graph of FIG. From FIG. 37, the workpiece W is bent by pushing the upper die 26 into the V groove 20 of the lower die 18 with the R bending push amount (St ″) obtained by the above-described equation (n). Thus, it is found that the workpiece W can be bent with high accuracy at a predetermined finishing angle (θ). In FIG. 37, the relationship between the pushing amount (St) obtained by the equation (e) and the finishing angle (θ) is indicated by a broken line. That is, when the workpiece W is bent using the upper die 26 whose tip is formed in an arcuate shape, the push amount (St) obtained by the above-described equation (e) is expressed by the equation (q). It can be seen that the accuracy of bending the workpiece W is improved by subtracting and correcting the indentation amount error (D).

In the press brake 10 according to the fourth embodiment, the bending amount error (D ₁ ) obtained under the condition that θ = θ ₁ in the equation (q) is subtracted from the set pushing amount (St ₁ ) to make an R bend. The calculation means 36 is set so as to calculate the correction setting push amount (St ₁ ″) (St ₁ ″ = St ₁ −D ₁ ), and the R bend correction set push amount calculated by the calculation means 36. According to (St ₁ ″), the mold drive control means 40 controls the mold drive means 28 so that the first bending process is executed. That is, the finished angle of the workpiece W after bending by bending at the processing for the time of pushing amount error (D ₁₎ R bending correction setting push-in amount was corrected (St 1 _'') the set pressing amount (St ₁₎ Is measured as the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ). Similarly, the calculation means 36 calculates an R-bend corrected target indentation obtained by subtracting an indentation amount error (D _T ) obtained under the condition that θ = θ _T in the equation (q) from the target indentation amount (St _T ). The amount (St _T ″) is set to be calculated (St _T ″ = St _T −D _T ), and the die is set in accordance with the R bending correction target push-in amount (St _T ″) calculated by the calculation means 36. The drive control means 40 drives and controls the mold drive means 28 so that the second and subsequent bending processes are executed.

In this way, the upper mold 26 is driven so that the R bending correction set push amount (St ₁ ″) is obtained by correcting the push amount error (D ₁ ) generated when bending is performed with the set push amount (St ₁ ). By doing so, since the workpiece W is actually bent at the set push amount (St ₁ ), the bending accuracy in the first bending is improved. Thereby, the accuracy of the corrected bend factor (A ′) calculated based on the set push amount (St ₁ ) and the actually measured finished angle (θ _M ) is improved, and the correction is performed based on the corrected bend factor (A ′). The processing accuracy of the second and subsequent bending processes can be increased. Further, the upper mold 26 so that the workpiece W target pushing amount (St _T) corrects the pushing amount error (D _T) which occurs during the bending in the R bending correction target pushing amount and (St T _'') By driving, the workpiece W is actually bent at the target pushing amount (St _T ), so that the workpiece W can be bent at the target finish angle (θ _T ) with high accuracy.
