Abstract: A press brake assembly with a sheet follower with an actuation assembly that allows the sheet follower to follow a downwards bending workpiece. The sheet follow is adjacent to the press brake and is capable of following the workpiece throughout different bends without changing the position of the workpiece. The sheet follower includes a table and rotatable arms attached to the table. The actuation assembly of the sheet follower includes two blocks that is configured to move the rotatable arms that allow the table to follow the bending of the workpiece.

Abstract: A press brake assembly including a crane system and press brake machine for processing a workpiece. The crane system having a workpiece handling mechanism configured to pick and store the workpiece. The crane system allows the crane to move along a plane via longitudinal and lateral rails. The crane also includes multiple swivel points to allow mobility to handle workpieces efficiently. The control system of the press brake machine may control the crane, allowing a single control system to control the press brake assembly.

Abstract: A press brake machine configured to bend a workpiece. The machine includes an upper beam configured to hold an upper tool assembly that includes an upper rotary tool configured to hold an upper punch and an upper die. The machine also includes a lower beam configured to hold a lower tool assembly that includes a lower rotary tool configured to hold lower punch and a lower die. The upper rotary tool assembly is configured to rotate the upper punch and the upper die and the lower rotary tool assembly is configured to rotate the lower punch and the lower die. The upper rotary tool assembly is configured to position to the upper punch downwards to a first upper rotary tool position when the lower rotary tool assembly positions the lower die upwards to a first lower rotary tool position such that the upper punch.

Abstract: A press brake machine for bending metal having an angle measurement system. The angle measurement system having at least one angle measurement device configured to measure the bend characteristics of the workpiece. The angle measurement device including an actuator, a position sensor, and a contact segment. The actuator of the measurement device is configured to abut the contact segment to the workpiece. The position sensor is configured to send data to a press brake controller to adjust the bending of the workpiece depending on the reading of the angle measurement device.

Abstract: A press brake assembly including a gauge system and press brake machine for processing a workpiece. The gauge system having gauge with a clamp configured to handle the workpiece. The gauge is also capable of changing the tool of the press brake machine. A tool rack is disposed at the ends of a gauge rail for storage of the tools.

Abstract: Systems, processes, user interfaces, and computer readable media are described for scoring political entities on one or more political issues. In one example, the scoring is based on text data and political contribution data associated with the political entity. For example, a process may access or determine text data and financial contribution data associated with a political entity and then score the political entity to provide a measure of the political entity's ideology or position on one or more issues. Various graphical elements and interactive user interfaces can be generated based on various information derived therefrom. Users may search various political entities to view political entity scores, text data, financial data, issues, and the like, as well as enter their own political scores and/or issues to assist in identifying political entities.
