FAST AND SIMPLE TAPER GAGING ON PRESS BRAKES

Cincinnati Incorporated offers an innovative system that speeds and simplifies taper gaging on press brakes for making angular bends.

An option on Cincinnati press brakes, the new taper gaging system features unique six-axis gage fingers and matching simulation graphics software that calculates and displays the correct gaging position.

The system eliminates the trial-and-error physical positioning of stops to achieve the 3-point gaging needed to maintain correct location of a taper bend line. Creative gage finger design enables a variety of gage points and positioning configurations to allow fast, programmed resetting of gages for both taper and right angle bends.

"Mitten"-shape gage finger design provides 2-point corner stops, requiring only a single point on the opposite finger to complete the 3-point gaging for a taper bend. The gage fingers provide both gaging points and posts to accommodate different angles and part shapes.

The integral stops and programmable reconfiguration greatly reduce setup time, avoid the need for intervention, improve setup repeatability and minimize dependence on operator experience for greater consistency on tapered bends.

American-made, Cincinnati press brakes feature heavyweight, built-to-last construction that has earned the industry's highest resale value. Rigid, heavyweight platforms feature interlocked frame members that eliminate distortion or alignment issues with welded frames.

Hardened linear guides maintain ram accuracy, while clevis-mounted cylinders and hardened piston rods reduce wear, leaks and maintenance. Cincinnati backs the press brakes with industry-best five-year parts warranty.

Simulation software enables easy offline part programming, while advanced "see and do" 3D graphics and automatic processing intelligence compensate for varied operator experience levels. Programs can be quickly created offline or at the machine and proved out step-by-step in realistic 3D views to avoid trial bending.

Smart controls automatically calculate and apply adjustments for ram reversal position, bottom bending tonnage, gage allowances, and material springback.
