DETERMINATION OF PRESS BRAKE BENDING PARAMETERS FOR HARDOX 400 STEEL

In the present study, a specific hydraulic press brake based test setup (HPBTS) was designed and manufactured which used to determine bending forces punch displacements of Hardox 400 steel depending on plate thickness, length mechanical properties. The equipped with an image processing system detect change angle during forming. Prior tests, tensile tests were carried out identified properties compared ones reported by manufacturers. effect difference between parameters investigated. Air technique for tests. Experiments varying thicknesses, lengths, angles, forming speeds channel openings using flat materials supplied from two different these force, displacement springback revealed. It shown that vary according manufacturer. measured obtained manufacturers had direct influence
