The axis number design of CNC press brake determines the complexity and flexibility of processing. The axis number of CNC press brake mainly includes longitudinal axis (X axis), vertical axis (Y axis), rear wedge axis (R axis), etc. With the increase of axis number, the processing capacity and application scope of CNC press brake will be greatly expanded.
Main types of axis design:
Mainly controls longitudinal movement (X axis).
Suitable for simple bending tasks such as straight line bending or single angle bending.
Simple operation and convenient maintenance, but low flexibility.
Dual-axis CNC press brake
Mainly controls the X-axis and Y-axis (longitudinal and vertical movement), and can accurately adjust the position and angle of the workpiece.
It is suitable for more complex bending processes, but has limited processing capabilities for complex workpieces such as multiple bends and special-shaped parts.
Three-axis and above CNC press brake
In addition to the X-axis and Y-axis, the Z-axis, R-axis, V-axis, etc. are also added to achieve more complex bending operations.
Three-axis: The linkage of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis can process multi-angle and special-shaped workpieces.
Four-axis and above: The introduction of more axis control, such as the rear wedge axis (R axis), angle control axis (V axis), etc., can achieve more precise and multi-dimensional bending actions, suitable for complex multiple bending and three-dimensional shape processing.
Factors affecting the design of the number of axes:
Processing requirements: If the shape of the workpiece to be processed is relatively simple, fewer axes can be selected; for complex shapes, multi-axis design is required.
Production efficiency: Multi-axis design can reduce machine downtime and improve processing efficiency, especially for workpieces that require multiple adjustments and bending.
Cost and investment: Multi-axis CNC press brakes have a high cost in equipment investment, but can improve production efficiency and are suitable for large-scale production.
The axis design of precision CNC press brakes directly affects their processing capabilities, accuracy, flexibility and efficiency. The increase in the number of axes also brings higher maintenance requirements. In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment and improve production efficiency, it is necessary to reasonably select the number of axes according to the process requirements, and at the same time strengthen the training of operators and technicians to ensure that the equipment operates in the best condition.
