Manufacturing Process of Bending Machines
Release time:2026-03-24
I. Preliminary Design and Material Preparation
- Scheme Design : Complete the design of the overall machine structure, hydraulics, electrical systems, and CNC system based on tonnage, precision, and control type (electro-hydraulic, torsion-bar, or CNC), and determine the tolerances and manufacturing processes for critical components.
- Material Selection The frame, slide block, and worktable are fabricated from high-strength steel plates such as Q345B and 45# steel, ensuring excellent rigidity and resistance to deformation.
- Raw Material Inspection : Steel plates are received into inventory for physicochemical testing and non-destructive examination, followed by pre-treatment for rust removal and leveling.
II. Precision Manufacturing of Structural Components (Core Processes)
- Cutting and Rough Machining
- CNC flame/laser cutting for blanking, and machining of weld bevels and datum surfaces.
- Assembly and Welding Quality Control
- Gas-shielded welding and robotic automatic welding are employed, with beveling and mortise-and-tenon joint assembly at critical locations to ensure adequate penetration and structural strength.
- Ultrasonic testing of welds to eliminate cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions.
- Stress relief (aging)
- Post-weld vibration stress relief, annealing, or normalizing is performed to completely eliminate residual stresses and prevent deformation during service.
- Precision Machining
- Large floor-mounted boring-milling and gantry milling machines undergo one-time, precision finishing of the frame, slide blocks, and worktable as a whole, ensuring geometric tolerances and fit accuracy.
III. Machining and Assembly of Core Components
- Hydraulic system : Precision machining of the main hydraulic cylinder, valve manifold, and pump station → cleaning → assembly → pressure-withstand test at 1.5 times the rated pressure.
- Synchronization mechanism : Electro-hydraulic servo/torsion-bar synchronous mechanism—grinding and final assembly, with control of synchronous error ≤0.02–0.05 mm.
- Mold : Forging of tool steel → CNC machining → Quenching and tempering → Precision grinding, ensuring hardness and dimensional accuracy.
- Rear stop : Servo motor, ball screw, and linear guide assembly ensure positioning accuracy.
IV. Final Assembly and System Integration
- Level the machine frame (horizontal deviation ≤ 0.02 mm/m) → lift and install the slide block → perform lapping of the guide rails → install the hydraulic cylinder, synchronization mechanism, worktable, and compensation device.
- Hydraulic pipeline connection, venting, and pressure maintenance; electrical and CNC system wiring, terminal connection, and commissioning.
V. System Commissioning and Quality Acceptance
- No-load commissioning : Inspect slider motion, synchronization, back gauge positioning, and CNC system functions.
- Load testing : Perform trial folding at the rated tonnage to verify the bending angle, straightness, and repeat positioning accuracy.
- Factory Inspection : Comprehensive performance testing, visual and safety inspections; upon passing, painting, packaging, and shipment follow.

Working Principle of a Shearing Machine
The core principle of a shearing machine is that the upper blade moves downward, working in conjunction with a fixed lower blade to apply shear force to the sheet metal within a precise gap. When the applied force exceeds the material’s shear strength, the sheet metal fractures and separates along the cutting edge. The most common type is the inclined-blade shearing machine (with an upper blade tilted by 1°–6°), which delivers low shear force, high efficiency, and is the most widely used.

Working Principle of a Horizontal Lathe
The core operating principle of a horizontal lathe is as follows: the spindle is mounted horizontally and rotates the workpiece about a horizontal axis (the primary motion), while the cutting tool performs linear feed motions in the longitudinal and transverse directions (the feed motion). The relative motion between these two movements enables the machining of rotary parts such as shafts, discs, and sleeves.
