How to choose a bender CNC machine?

Bender CNC machine is a kind of machine that can be bent on the sheet, used for bending sheet, and is a more common large machine. When choosing, according to the use, working environment, the degree of bending required, the thickness of the thin plate, and other conditions to buy. We need to know how to choose the right bending machine. The following is to teach you how to buy it.

Workpiece

The first thing to consider is the part you want to produce. It is ideal to be able to buy a bender CNC machine that can complete the processing task and has the shortest working table and the smallest tonnage. We should carefully consider the material grade as well as the maximum machining thickness and length. If most of the work is in mild steel with a thickness of 16 gauge and a maximum length of 10 feet (3.048 meters), then the free bending force does not have to be greater than 50 tons. However, if you are doing a lot of bottomed concave die forming, you should probably consider a 160-ton machine. If most parts are 5 feet or a little shorter, then the tonnage can be almost halved, which can significantly reduce the acquisition cost. Part length is quite important in determining the specifications of a new machine.

Deflection

Under the same load, a 10-foot machine table and slides will experience four times the deflection of a 5-foot machine. This means that shorter machines require less gasket adjustment to produce qualified parts. This reduces both gasket adjustment and preparation time. The material grade is also a key factor. Compared to mild steel, stainless steel typically requires about 50% more load, while most grades of soft aluminum require about 50% less. You can also ask the bender CNC machine manufacturer for a ton meter of the machine, which will show the estimated tons per foot length for different thicknesses and different materials.

Bendability

The requirement of bending accuracy is an important factor that needs to be carefully considered when buying. This factor determines whether to use a bender CNC machine or a manual bending machine. If the bending accuracy requires ±1° and cannot be changed, it is necessary to focus on a CNC machine. Bender CNC machine slider repeatability is ±0.0004 inch, forming accurate angles must be used with such accuracy and good tooling. Manual bending machine slider repeatability is ±0.002 inches and generally produces ±2 to 3° deviation under the condition of using the right tooling. In addition, bender CNC machines can be fast mold. When you need to bend many small batches of parts, then you can consider using it.

When the wrong choice is made when purchasing a bending machine, production costs can escalate and the bending machine cannot be expected to pay for itself.
