Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-30

CNC bending machine is an important sheet metal processing equipment, which is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, electronic communication and other industries.

Through an in-depth analysis of its programming skills, it is possible to better achieve precise bending of sheet metal, improve production efficiency and product quality.

1. Understand the working principle of the CNC bending machineThe CNC bending machine uses a motor to drive the hydraulic system to bend the metal sheet by changing the spacing between the upper die and the lower die.

Before programming, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the working principle of the CNC press brake, including understanding its control system, operation interface, equipment parameters, etc.

2. Reasonable design of bending processIn the programming process, it is necessary to reasonably design the bending process according to specific product requirements.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the material, thickness and length of the metal sheet, and then select the appropriate bending angle and bending radius according to the design requirements of the product.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the elastic deformation of the metal sheet and the size and shape of the mold, reasonably arrange the bending sequence and position, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the bending process.

3. Familiar with the programming language of CNC bending machineThe programming language of CNC bending machine generally adopts simplified g**, and the programming process needs to be familiar with the meaning and use of various instructions.

For example, g01 represents linear interpolation, g02 represents clockwise circular interpolation, and g03 represents counterclockwise circular interpolation.

By combining these commands properly, complex bending trajectories and angle control can be realized.

Fourth, write a complete bending program In the programming process, it is necessary to write a complete bending program, including the setting of the initial position, the adjustment of bending parameters, and the sequence control of the process.

The error and deformation in the bending process should be taken into account in the program, and the bending angle and size should meet the requirements through reasonable correction and adjustment.

At the same time, it is also necessary to consider safety factors and write corresponding protection procedures to avoid accidents caused by misoperation of operators.

5. Optimize programming efficiency and accuracyIn order to improve programming efficiency and machining accuracy, some optimization techniques can be adopted.

For example, common bending programs can be used for accumulation and reuse, reducing repetitive programming efforts

CAD CAM software can be used to assist in the design and generation of programs to improve the accuracy and efficiency of programming

By adding automatic correction and automatic adjustment functions, the machining accuracy and stability can be further improved.

The programming skills of a CNC press brake are essential to achieve precise sheet metal bending machining.

Through an in-depth understanding of the working principle of the machine, a reasonable design of the bending process, familiarity with the programming language, the writing of a complete bending program, and the optimization of programming efficiency and accuracy, the functions and characteristics of the CNC bending machine can be better utilized to improve production efficiency and product quality.

At the same time, we can also continue to explore and innovate, combine CNC technology with other related technologies, and promote the development and application of CNC bending machines.
