  • Patent number: 6732559
    Abstract: Integrating device to detect and recover the deformation of shoulders in a press-bending machine, including an optical ruler joined to the beater and reading trolley, pulled back elastically, and stressed by the false shoulder. The device provided for the false shoulder is made up of a rod perpendicular to the beater, which on one side is hinged to the shoulder of the machine, while on the opposite end, oscillating and facing the beater. It is stressed by the arm joined to the reading trolley of the optical ruler. The rod provides a slider in connection with an underlying plane plate that is part of the false shoulder.

  • Patent number: 6651471
    Abstract: Fork of the self-centering oscillating type, particularly for the bending angle measuring, in a pressbrake including at least a fork provided along a matrix or a matrix fractioned element, able to detect the real inclination of the two specular planes of a pressed-bent sheet-plate, each having two detection points, one of which is static and known, and the other one is dynamic. The fork including a forked end and a relative shank which interacts with a position transducer, communicating with a data processing logic unit which controls the pressbrake. The fork being hinged in correspondence with the shank top.

  • Patent number: 6644090
    Abstract: Safety tool for supporting and holding an interchangeable utensil, which includes a holding clip, hinged to the utensil support body joined to the beam, the said clip being pushed on one side, while on the other side there are teeth facing the utensil support body, and of which a tooth is used for holding a safety hook and a lower tooth presses against the outer side of a spring for lifting the hook. The safety hook, being positioned between the holding clip and the utensil support body, has a seat on one side, along which the said first tooth of the holding clip is inserted, while on the other side, there is a hooking terminal with a leading plane, that is inserted inside a groove, preferably of the type for utensils with a standard shank.

  • Patent number: 6519996
    Abstract: A pressing-bending machine with a device for detecting the lower and upper cross-members deflection, aimed at interacting with at least one crowning system, essentially made up of means suitable for detecting the elastic deformation on the lower and/or upper cross-member (1, 4) vertical axis recorded during the plate pressing-bending active phase, said means, supplying the machine management logic unit with a higher or lower value respect to an upper cross-member reference value, from this depending the intervention of at least the crowning system, and also in which, said means, being active on both cross-members, comprise a part engaged to the action cross-member and a part, interconnected with the first one, integral with a fixed external cross-member independent from the action cross-member, comprising a means (8) for detecting and communicating the deflection relative to this latter with respect to the fixed external cross-member.

  • Patent number: 6266984
    Abstract: A press-bending machine to bend metal sheets, having improved features in the respective press-bending with measuring and control system operating on at least four points of the bending angle, of the type in which the press-bending machine has: an upper vertically reciprocal elongated bending punch; a lower static elongated bending matrix with at least a longitudinal bending groove; feeler means to measure the respective bending movement of the metal sheet in bending inside said bending groove, to control by data process logic unit the bending parameters of bending process in said bending machine, said feeler means operating with at least four bending detection points, characterized in that all said detecting points are conceived in such a way to be divided in two sets of bend detecting points, one to one side and one to the other side and in a symmetrical way divided in number and position respective to the vertical plane passing along the respective sheet bending line corresponding with the bending corner o
