The bending machine is mainly used to plastically deform metal plates, bars, tubes or other metal profiles by pressure, so as to form specific angles and shapes. Bending machine is widely used in manufacturing industry, especially in metal structure, shipbuilding, automobile, aviation, construction, furniture and other industries, are essential equipment. Here are a few key components of an industrial bending machine:
Body frame: provides support and stability for the entire machine.
Table: the platform on which the metal material to be bent is placed and can usually be moved back and forth to accommodate different lengths of material.
Slider: Located at the top of the machine, the slider can be moved up and down to apply pressure to the material to be bent.
Mold: mounted between the ram and the table, it determines the shape and size of the bend.
Control system: can be a traditional mechanical control button or a touch screen HMI, used to operate the various movements of the bending machine.
Depending on the mode of operation, industrial bending machines can be divided into the following categories:
Manual Bending Machines: The bending process is realized entirely by manual operation and is suitable for small batch production or simple operations.
Hydraulic bending machine: the use of hydraulic systems to drive the up and down movement of the slide, suitable for mass production and complex bending operations.
CNC bending machine (CNC): computer programming to control the bending process, can achieve high precision and complex shape bending, suitable for modern mass production.
Industrial bending machine using touch screen control system or traditional physical keys have their own unique benefits, the following is a specific analysis:
Benefits of touch screen control systems:
1. Intuitive and easy to use:
Touch screen provides an intuitive user interface, the operator can easily enter and modify processing parameters by touching the icons or buttons on the screen, reducing the difficulty of operation.
The touch screen interface is usually designed to be more user-friendly, and can provide richer information display and operation options, making the operation more convenient.
2. Flexibility and expandability:
Touch screen control systems can easily integrate a variety of advanced functions and applications, such as real-time monitoring, data analysis, remote communication, etc., so as to meet the changing processing needs.
Through software upgrades, the touch screen control system can easily add new functions or optimize existing functions, improving the flexibility and scalability of the equipment.
3. Improve productivity and precision:
The touch screen control system can realize automated operation and reduce manual intervention, thus improving productivity.
Inputting precise processing parameters through the touch screen can ensure the stability and accuracy of the process and improve product quality.
4. Easy maintenance and diagnosis:
The display can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time and provide alarm information in the event of a malfunction, making it easy for maintenance personnel to quickly locate and solve the problem.
The touch screen interface can also provide equipment history and maintenance information, which helps to develop a more effective maintenance program.
Benefits of traditional physical buttons
5. Reliability and durability:
Touchscreens usually have high reliability and durability and can operate stably in harsh industrial environments and are not easily affected by external factors such as dust and oil, thus ensuring continuous production and processing quality of the equipment.
Benefits of traditional physical buttons:
1. Cost-effectiveness:
Compared with touch screen control systems, the manufacturing cost of traditional physical keypad is usually lower, which is suitable for occasions with certain requirements on cost.
Repair and replacement of physical buttons is also relatively simple and inexpensive, helping to reduce equipment maintenance costs. 2.
2. Reduce the possibility of misuse:
Traditional physical keys usually have clear identification and function division, the operator can confirm the function of the key by touching and observing during operation, thus reducing the possibility of misoperation.
Compared to virtual buttons on a touch screen interface, physical buttons usually require more force and clearer movements when operated, which also helps to reduce the occurrence of misuse.
