Hey Fellas, I was bending up some fixtures for a lighting company that we do work for and I thought I'd share the bending process. The videos don't show the setup involved (that would be a longer video) . But it shows automated sequence bending that is all programmable. Each bend has a value for the backgauge and for the depth of bend. The machine automatically goes to the next step when the one before it is completed. Anyhoo, this what I do about half of the time while I'm at work. The other half is usually spent drawing the programs to punch stuff like this in the first place. :thumbsup: The press is an Amada RG-5020, just in case you are looking for a way to spend your tax return. :laugh:
btw... I had to change the tooling to complete the part, see second vid.
Ready for welding! :weld:
