The operating of CNC press brake WE67S-160/3200 is highly automated and involves several stages. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how the CNC press brake runs, from setup to execution:
1. Initial Setup
Tool Selection: The first step involves choosing the right punch (upper tool) and die (lower tool) for the job. The punch and die come in various shapes to accommodate different bends and materials. The choice depends on the material thickness, bend angle, and type of bend (V-bend, U-bend, etc.).
Loading the Sheet Metal: A flat metal sheet (often aluminum, steel, or stainless steel) is loaded onto the machine. Some machines are equipped with automated loading systems that bring the sheet into position.
Program Entry: The operator inputs the bending instructions into the CNC controller. This is usually done via a touchscreen interface or via software that communicates with the machine.
The CNC program typically includes details like:
Bending angle
Bend sequence
Tooling configurations
Material specifications (type, thickness)
Advanced systems may be integrated with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software for easier job programming.
