Definitions

  • the invention relates to a press brake, which is generally intended to be used for forming bends or successions of bends in sections, plates and workpieces to be bent.
  • brakes Press brakes, hereinafter briefly referred to as brakes, are known in the art to allow bends to be formed in sections and sheets, according to desired profiles, particularly U-sections.
  • a known press brake comprises a frame that forms a base defining a horizontal bottom bed with a concave die attached thereto.
  • the brake also comprises a head which overhangs the bottom bed and has moving members housed therein for moving a crossbeam supported by the frame in a vertically displaceable manner.
  • a convex punch is mounted to the crossbeam, namely to a horizontal surface thereof facing above the bottom bed of the base, and its profile mates the concave profile of the die, such that by interposing a workpiece to be bent between the die and the punch, and by actuating the crossbeam to cause it to slide toward the base, the punch fits into the die and forms a bend in the workpiece according to the mating profiles.
  • the crossbeam slides along guides attached to the frame by the action of one or more hydraulic cylinders mounted in the upper area and acting on the crossbeam by pushing it toward the bottom bed or retracting it therefrom.
  • a known brake is particularly taught by the Italian patent IT 1 ,309,645, which relates to a press brake particularly adapted to form U-section products or the like ("Pressa piegatrice particolarmente adatta alia realizzazione di manufatti a forma di profilati con sezione ad "U” o simili").
  • the brake usually comprises the base that forms the bottom bed with the concave die attached thereto, and a crossbeam that is slidably mounted to the base and is guided by appropriate vertical guides.
  • crossbeam supports a convex punch, which is aligned to the concave die supported by the bottom bed and the concave and convex profiles are adapted to mate with each other to form a bend in a workpiece to be bent.
  • both the punches and the dies are interchangeable with others depending on the bending profiles to be followed.
  • the crossbeam has the front upper face, i.e. the one facing the standing place of an operator which, unlike prior art brakes, is inclined toward the rear portion of the brake and its inclination starts at an area slightly above the working face of the punch.
  • the operator may form a second bend parallel to the previous one according to a U profile, because the portion of the workpiece in which the first bend was formed rests on the inclined upper face, and the latter does not interfere with the position of the workpiece to form the second bend.
  • the crossbeam is movably actuated by a hydraulic unit which is held within the base of the brake and which, during the active brake forming step, presses upon a flange rigidly joined to the crossbeam, thereby moving the latter downwards and causing the die and the punch to be coupled together and which, during the crossbeam lifting step, exerts a pulling action on the flange, thereby releasing the punch from the die.
  • the crossbeam that supports the punch is moved by means of a worm screw and nut assembly, with the worm screw being rotatably actuated by a motor unit which is held within the upper area of the head of the brake.
  • the nut is rigidly joined to the movable crossbeam and, during the active brake forming step, the worm screw is rotatably actuated by the motor unit and the stress generated thereby is a buckling stress that axially acts upon the worm screw.
  • a first drawback is that, in prior art brakes, if the crossbeam moving members suddenly break, the crossbeam, that has a considerable weight, falls on the base by gravity, thereby creating an immediate hazard for the operators, whose hands may be interposed between the die and the punch at that time.
  • a second drawback is that in prior art brakes actuated by the worm screw and nut assembly, the screw is acted upon, as mentioned above, by a buckling stress which will tend to deform it with time, i.e. curve it and, as a result, by considerably alter the screw pitch; this will hinder, or even prevent rotation of the screw in the nut, thereby completely stopping the operation of the brake.
  • a third drawback is that prior art brakes have an upper crossbeam with a considerable height dimension, which will limit the workpiece processing potential, when successive and parallel bends are required to be formed.
  • One object of the invention is to improve the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a press brake that can prevent deformation of the actuation members and, as a result, processing cycle breaks.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a press brake that can prevent accidents caused by the failure of the crossbeam actuating members, using a very simple and hence more cost-effective structure.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a press brake that can reduce the height dimensions of the upper crossbeam and hence, can form successive bends without causing the bent workpieces to interfere with the crossbeam itself.
  • the invention relates to a press brake as defined in the features of claim 1 .
  • FIG. 1 is a highly schematic side view of a press brake of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of a possible embodiment of the press brake of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of a second possible embodiment of the press brake of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective, smaller-scale view of a press brake of the invention, during a working step.
  • numeral 1 generally designates a press brake having a base frame 2 and an upper frame 3, the latter being vertically movable relative to the base frame 2.
  • the base frame 2 comprises a support surface 4 with a die 5 having a concave profile 6 attached thereto.
  • a punch 8 having a convex profile 9 designed to be coupled with the concave profile of the die 5 is attached to a second surface 7 of the upper frame 3.
  • a workpiece 1 0 to be bent is designed to be interposed between the punch 8 and the die 6 as schematically shown in Figure 1 by a broken line.
  • two front recesses 21 and 22 are defined in the base frame 2, and are designed to receive the legs of an operator "P" during use of the press brake 1 , as best shown in Figure 4.
  • a moving unit namely a motor unit 1 1 , is held within the base frame, and is connected to the upper frame 3 via a transmission unit 1 2.
  • Such transmission unit 1 2 comprises, in a first embodiment of the press brake 1 as shown in Figure 2, a worm screw element 1 3 which is vertically supported by the motor unit 1 1 and is actuated thereby with a bidirectional rotary motion, as defined by arrows "A".
  • a sleeve body 14 is fixed to the upper frame 3 and the worm screw element 1 3 is engaged in its axial cavity 1 5.
  • Parallel vertical guides 1 6 are arranged between the upper frame 3 and the base frame 2, for guiding the vertical strokes of the upper frame 3, namely an active downward brake forming stroke and an inactive upward return stroke.
  • the upper frame 3 is composed of a pair of uprights 1 7, with a transverse element 18 supported therebetween for forming the second surface 7 facing the first support surface 4.
  • the concave profile 6 and the convex profile 9 are vertically aligned along a common alignment axis "Z".
  • a second embodiment of the press brake 1 is shown, which differs from the first embodiment in that the movement of the upper frame 3 relative to the base frame 2 is obtained by means of two motor units 1 1 located at both sides of the base frame 2, and rotatably actuating respective worm screw elements 1 3 in synchronized fashion.
  • two respective sleeve bodies 14 are fixed to the upper frame 3, here at both sides thereof, with the worm screw elements 1 3 rotatably engaged in their axial cavities.
  • the base frame 2 defines the two front recesses 21 and 22 and the bottom bed 4 having a support 23 for the concave die 5 attached thereto.
  • the upper frame 3 is composed, also in this second embodiment of the press brake 1 , of a pair of uprights 1 7, typically in the form of flat gibs, which are vertically displaced and guided relative to the base frame 2 and support therebetween the transverse element 1 8 that forms the second surface 7 with a support 24 attached thereto for supporting a convex punch 8.
  • Braking means 25 are also interposed between the upper frame 3 and the base frame 3, for stopping the downward stroke of the upper frame 3 when required.
  • the operation of the press brake is as follows; when a bend has to be formed in a workpiece 1 0, e.g. a metal sheet, the upper frame 3 is lifted upwards, such that the space between the punch 8 and the die 6 is cleared.
  • the upper frame 3 is moved upwards by actuation of the motor unit 1 1 to rotate the worm screw 1 3, which pushes the sleeve 14 and hence the upper frame 3 upwards.
  • the worm screw 1 3 carries the sleeve 14 and hence the upper frame 3 attached thereto downwards.
  • the worm screw 1 3 is submitted to the processing load, i.e. the stress required for brake forming.
  • This stress is a pulling stress, and involves no risk of deformation of the worm screw 1 3.
  • the upper frame 3 and the base frame 2 have braking means 25 therebetween, which are known to the skilled person and are synthetically formed with a small hydraulic circuit for shunted supply, through a distribution valve, to a cylinder 26 whose jacket has one end connected to the upper frame 3 and the opposite piston shaft end connected to the base frame, as schematically shown in Figure 1 .
  • the invention has been found to fulfill the intended objects.
