Press Brake Toolings The quality of press brake tooling will directly affect product quality, output, cost, new product production product replacement cycle, enterprise product structure adjustment speed, and market competitiveness. Therefore, the economic situation has a great impact on the quality of bending machine mold. Higher and higher demands have been put forward.

The quality of press brake tooling is not a simple topic, which includes the following aspects: Press Brake Toolings

Press Brake Toolings
  • Product quality: dimensional stability and conformity of the product, surface finish, material utilization of the product, etc.
  • Service life: on the premise of ensuring the quality of the product, the number of working cycles or the number of parts produced by the bending machine mold can be completed.
  • Maintenance: ease of use, cost of maintenance, periodicity of maintenance, etc. Press Brake Toolings

So How Can We Improve The Quality of Press Brake Tooling Reasonably? (5 Types)

  1. Material

The selection of bending machine mold materials must not only meet the customer’s requirements for product quality but also take into account the cost of the material and its strength within the set cycle. The speed, main failure mode, and other factors are used to select materials. Press Brake Toolings

2. Structure

When designing the mold structure of the bending machine, it is not only required to have a compact structure and easy operation but also to ensure that the mold parts of the bending machine have sufficient strength and rigidity. When the structure of the press brake tooling allows, the corners of each surface of the press brake tooling parts should be designed as rounded transitions as much as possible to avoid stress concentration. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider how to reduce the impact on the quality of the bending machine mold caused by the wear of sliding fittings and frequent impact parts during long-term use.

3. Manufacturing and Assembly

The processing method and processing accuracy in the manufacturing process of the press brake tooling are also important factors affecting the quality and service life of the bending machine mold. Press Brake Toolings

  • The accuracy of each component directly affects the overall assembly of the press brake tooling. In addition to the influence of the equipment’s accuracy, it is necessary to improve the processing method of the parts and improve the technical level of the fitter in the grinding and matching process of the bending machine mold.

  • To ensure that the bending machine mold has good original accuracy, in the manufacturing process, first of all, we should reasonably choose high-precision processing methods, such as EDM, wire cutting, CNC machining, etc., and should pay attention to the accuracy of the press brake tooling check, including the accuracy of the processing of press brake tooling parts, assembly accuracy and acceptance of the work through the test mold comprehensive check the accuracy of the press brake tooling, in the inspection also need to try to use high-precision measurement instruments to ensure the accuracy of the measurement data.

4. Surface strengthening

The surface strengthening of the main forming parts of the bending machine mold is carried out to improve the wear resistance of the surface of the press brake tooling parts to better improve the quality of the bending machine mold. For surface strengthening, different strengthening methods should be selected according to the press brake tooling for different purposes. Press Brake Toolings

For example, the blanking die can use electric spark strengthening, hard alloy surfacing, etc. to improve the wear resistance and compressive strength of the surface of the bending machine die parts. Nitriding (hard nitriding) treatment can be used for hot-processed bending machine die steel parts such as die-casting molds and plastic molds to improve the wear resistance, thermal fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance of the parts. The drawing die and bending die can be sulfurized to reduce the friction coefficient and improve the wear resistance of the material; carbonitriding (soft nitriding) can be applied to the surface strengthening treatment of various bending machine dies.

5. Correct use and maintenance

  • The correct use and maintenance of bending machine mold is also a major factor in improving the quality of press brake tooling. For example, the installation and debugging method of CNC mold should be appropriate. In the case of hot runners, the power wiring must be correct, and the cooling water circuit must meet the design requirements. The parameters need to meet the design requirements and so on.
  • When using the mold correctly, it is also necessary to carry out regular maintenance on the press brake mold. The guide post, guide sleeve, and other parts with relative movement of the press brake mold should be filled with lubricating oil frequently. For press brake tooling such as forging molds, plastic molds, and die-casting molds, lubricants or lubricants should be added before each mold is formed. The mold release agent is sprayed on the surface of the formed part. Planned preventive maintenance of the press brake mold, and through data processing during the maintenance process, can prevent possible problems in the production of the bending machine mold, and can also improve the efficiency of maintenance work.
