A HARSLE tandem press brake machine is a highly efficient and versatile tool used in the metalworking industry for bending and shaping large metal sheets. The tandem configuration involves the use of two press brakes working in unison to handle larger and longer workpieces that a single press brake cannot manage alone. This system enhances precision, flexibility, and productivity.
Working Principle
1. Setup and Programming: The operator sets up the machine by programming the desired bend angles, dimensions, and sequences into the CNC control system. The tandem configuration is selected, ensuring both machines will work together.
2. Loading the Workpiece: The metal sheet is loaded onto the bed of the press brakes. The back gauge positions the sheet accurately according to the programmed specifications.
3. Synchronization: The CNC system synchronizes the movement of both press brakes. This ensures that the rams of both machines move in unison, applying equal force and creating consistent bends across the entire length of the workpiece.
4. Bending Process: The hydraulic system powers the ram, which descends onto the metal sheet, pressing it against the die. This process bends the metal to the desired angle. In a tandem setup, both rams move simultaneously to handle the larger sheet.
5. Multiple Bends: For complex shapes, the metal sheet can be repositioned and multiple bends can be performed. The CNC system ensures precision and repeatability for each bend.
Unloading: Once the bending process is complete, the finished workpiece is unloaded from the machine.
