Hydraulic Sheet Metal Bending System

Due to increasing Globalization it is very much essential for manufacturers to produce goods having highest reliability and in required time. This is achieved by using various manufacturing methods. The transformers which are currently assembled for Welding Machines require hammering of the extruded Metal plate. This method requires large Human effort in form of Hammering. Hence the safety of the operator is also at a risk. The main purpose of this system is to automate the bending process so that almost negligible amount of Human Effort is required and the process becomes completely safe. This paper concentrates on the basic factors which should be considered while designing bending machine especially when sheet metal can’t be bent separately and having space constraint. Factors considered are force required, punch radius, reduction of spring back,
