System improves taper gauging on press brakes
April 2008 |
Cincinnati Inc. has developed an innovative system that speeds and simplifies taper gaging on press brakes for making angular bends. An option on Cincinnati press brakes, the new taper gauging system features unique six axis gauge fingers and matching simulation graphics software that calculates and displays the correct gaging position. The system eliminates the trial-and-error physical positioning of stops to achieve the three-point gauging needed to maintain correct location of a taper bend line. A creative gauge finger design enables a variety of gauge points and positioning configurations to allow fast, programmed resetting of gages for both taper and right angle bends.
"Mitten"-shaped gauge finger design provides two-point corner stops, requiring only a single point on the opposite finger to complete the 3-point gaging for a taper bend. The gage fingers provide both gaging points and posts to accommodate different angles and part shapes. The integral stops and programmable reconfiguration greatly reduce setup time, avoid the need for intervention, improve setup repeatability and minimize dependence on operator experience for greater consistency on tapered bends.
Cincinnati press brakes feature heavyweight, built-to-last construction that has earned the industry's highest resale value. Rigid, heavyweight platforms feature interlocked frame members that eliminate distortion or alignment issues with welded frames. Hardened linear guides maintain ram accuracy, while clevis-mounted cylinders and hardened piston rods reduce wear, leaks and maintenance. Cincinnati backs the press brakes with industry-best five-year parts warranty.
Simulation software enables easy offline part programming, while advanced "see and do" 3D graphics and automatic processing intelligence compensate for varied operator experience levels.
