The Wonderful Use Of Press Brake Follower Pallet Device

Introduction

Press brakes play a vital role in the metal fabrication industry, mainly used for bending and molding metal sheets to specific angles and shapes. This machinery and equipment is widely used in producing various metal products in industries such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, building structures, electrical equipment and furniture manufacturing. Through precise control of the bending angle and strength, the press brake can produce high-quality, high-precision metal components to meet the requirements of different industries on product performance and appearance.

In practice, press brakes often need to handle a variety of different thickness and length of the plate. Especially when it comes to bending long and heavy sheet materials, the operation process can face some challenges. Long sheet materials, due to their greater length, are prone to deformation and uneven bending during the bending process, which can affect the accuracy and quality of the final product. Heavy sheet materials, on the other hand, can pose safety hazards during handling and positioning due to their heavy weight, which also makes them more difficult to handle.

In response to these challenges, the Follower Palletizer was developed. A follower is an auxiliary device that automatically adjusts its position as the press brake progresses, providing additional support and stabilization. This device is usually installed between the slider and the table of the press brake, and can adjust the height of the pallet in real time during the bending process, to ensure the flatness and stability of the plate in the bending process. The use of the follower can make it easier for operators to handle long and heavy sheet materials, significantly improving productivity and product quality, while reducing labor intensity and safety risks.

Common Challenges in Bending Long Plates

During the bending process, the length and weight of the part can have a significant impact on the overall operation. Longer or heavier workpieces may deform during bending due to their own gravity, which can affect the final bending accuracy and quality. In addition, the length and weight of the workpiece can affect the balance of motion of the press brake, which may cause the machine to jitter or become unstable during movement, further interfering with the accuracy of the workpiece.

The interference of gravity and machine movement on workpiece accuracy is a problem that cannot be ignored. Gravity acting on longer workpieces may cause them to bend or deform during the bending process, and this interference is especially noticeable when the moving parts of the press brake are moving at high speeds. In addition, the precision and stability of the machine's movement directly affects the bending quality of the workpiece. If the machine jerks or deviates during the movement, the bent workpiece may have inaccurate dimensions, inaccurate angles and other problems, thus affecting the overall processing accuracy.

Traditional manually assisted pallets have obvious limitations and shortcomings in the bending process. Due to the length and weight of the workpiece, manual palletizing is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to operational errors, resulting in deformation or damage to the workpiece in the bending process. In addition, the efficiency of manual palletizing is low, which cannot meet the demand for high efficiency and high precision in modern production. Therefore, the traditional manual palletizing method in the bending process has been gradually replaced by automated equipment to improve production efficiency and processing accuracy.

Innovative design features of the randomized pallet device

The advantage of servo motor drive is that it can realize precise control and stability. This type of drive ensures the accuracy and stability of the equipment during operation by means of a high-precision feedback system and advanced control algorithms, thus improving processing quality and productivity.

The wider table and increased load capacity allow the machine to better cope with the demands of different workpieces. Both large and small workpieces can be machined in the right place on the widened table. At the same time, the increased load capacity ensures that the machine remains stable when handling heavy workpieces, avoiding damage or loss of machining accuracy due to excessive loads.

Coordination of linear and rotary movements of the pallets ensures accurate bending process. By precisely controlling the linear and rotary movements of the pallets, the machine is able to realize precise bending of the workpiece, ensuring the accuracy of the bending angle and position. This coordinated motion not only improves processing accuracy, but also reduces the risk of workpiece damage due to improper operation.

Technical advantages and applications of the device

Application examples: how to effectively utilize the trailing feeder to maximize its effectiveness in the actual production process.

In actual production, the introduction of the follower has played a significant role in improving bending accuracy, increasing production efficiency and reducing labor costs. Specifically, the trailing pallet device can automatically adjust the position of the material to ensure that the material is always kept in the optimal position during the bending process, thus significantly improving the bending accuracy. As a result, the quality of products produced is more stable, reducing rework and scrap caused by precision problems.

In addition, the automated nature of the palletizer greatly improves production efficiency. The traditional manual palletizing method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to production interruptions due to improper operation. However, the trailing palletizer can work continuously, which reduces downtime and improves the overall efficiency of the production line. In this way, enterprises can produce more products in the same time to meet market demand.

Finally, the use of the follower palletizing device also significantly reduces labor costs. In traditional production, a large number of manpower to complete the pallet, handling and other work, which not only increases the enterprise's labor costs, but also easily due to human factors lead to production efficiency and product quality fluctuations. The automated operation of the follow-on palletizing device reduces the dependence on manual labor, thus reducing labor costs, and also improves the stability and predictability of the production process.

In summary, in the actual production, the introduction of the follower device not only improves the bending accuracy, improves production efficiency, but also effectively reduces the cost of labor, which brings significant economic benefits for the enterprise.

Practical application cases and benefits

In order to ensure the accuracy of the bending process, we have adopted the technology of precisely matching the bending trajectory and speed. This technology guarantees the bending accuracy and ensures that each bend meets the predefined requirements. Through this precise control, we can avoid bending errors caused by improper operation or speed mismatch, thus improving the overall production quality.

In addition, we have introduced a fully automatic CNC independent motion axis system, a system that greatly reduces the need for human intervention. Through intelligent control, the machine can complete complex bending tasks on its own, thus significantly increasing production efficiency. This automation technology not only saves labor costs, but also reduces production delays and scrap rates caused by human error.

To further enhance the working environment for workers, we are committed to reducing their labor intensity. By introducing advanced equipment and technology, workers are no longer required to perform heavy physical labor, thus enhancing work safety and comfort. This not only helps to improve workers' job satisfaction, but also reduces the risk of occupational diseases caused by prolonged and strenuous labor, thus safeguarding workers' physical and mental health.
