Embossing part with reflected surface without unevenness 1 Undivided lower tool Product 67 8. Application SBW – Swivel bending tool The patented swivel bending tool offers huge advantages compared to the conventional bottom bending: not only does it save bending time, but it also provides better ergonomics. Because, when bending narrow sheet metal strips, small link plates and in case of window edges, that is small link plates in the middle of a blank, the workpiece does not execute any swiveling movement on the operator's side. The sheet flange in front of the machine drops by only a few millimeters. If BendMaster executes the bending process automatically, "Tracking“ is not required, which in turn saves time. In certain bending situations, one can do even without re-gripping the workpiece, which saves even more time. The workpiece is placed on the swivel unit and positioned through the backgauge as usual. The swivel bending punch clamps the workpiece between the support surfaces. As soon as the press beam moves downwards, the swivel level bends the link plate around the tip of the swivel bending punch. Area of application Advantages x From 0.5 - 1.5 mm sheet thickness. x Can be used from 75° to 140°. x Min. side length 7 - 10 mm. x Bending length: 10 – 50 mm. x Quick edging of small link plates. x No time-consuming tracking of the high swiveling bending side. x No reverse bend, as manual tracking unnecessary. x Possibility of rotating 180° for installation. x Can be combined with the conventional die bending tools. x Various edge lengths due to exchangeable tool tips with variable widths. A blank is clamped between the punch and the die 68 The swivel lever bends the link plate upwards Producing small link plates 1 2 Swivel unit 1 Swivel bending upper tool Swivel lever Product (link plate) 69 9. Tools with 2 or more work surfaces 9.1 DV adapter Application With DV adapters, 2 different lower tools can be used. These can be tools that have the same opening angle but different die widths, or vice versa. Lower tools with different working radii are also possible or slim lower tools combined with lower tools with a normal width. Advantages x Station operation, where the individual stations produce a longer length of bend as the length of bend of the machine (drawing 2). Different bending lengths can be manufactured on one station. x Increase of die height by 50 mm. x Double sheet bends, i.e. various sheet thicknesses in one product (depending on the die width), refer to drawing 1 below. x Shorter and longer bending sides in one product (dependent on the die width). x Technological advantages, e.g. through the use of 84° and 30° dies. x Two different bending radii can be produced with one punch.

This avoids the need for the component to be stored in the meantime. Double level tool Double level tools have two work levels. The upward and downward motions in the tool are carried out by pneumatic cylinders. In this way, components which would otherwise require intermediate storage can be manufactured in one run. This is often required in automated systems or with large quantities. 1 Work level 1 2 Work level 2 75 10.

Bending various materials Every material requires customized work solutions. TRUMPF tests special materials for their bending capability and then decides upon the suitable tool. A few tips for this: Thick sheet In addition to the numerous standard tools (dies of up to 120 mm die width, punches with large radii), TRUMPF also provides special versions, so that sheet thicknesses of up to 20 mm can be cold-formed without heating. Thin sheet TRUMPF has punches with 0.5 mm radii and narrow dies with a die width from 4 mm in the standard range for thin sheet parts. Spring steel sheet x Spring steel sheet can break while bending, therefore pay attention to the "annealed" raw material (rigidity and heat treatment). x Springback must be taken into consideration in the tool geometry. x Can initially be processed using standard tools. x Pay attention to the punch radius, as copper can tear on the outer side. x Different springback for different parts is the main problem when bending perforated sheet. x The best results are often achieved during the embossing process. x High springback (> 30°). x Can mostly be processed using standard tools. x Plexiglass springs back even after several hours! x Bending without imprints is possible with standard tools. Copper Perforated sheet ® ® Plexiglass , Lexan ,…. 188 ® Textured sheet x Different springback values can be present within one part, depending on the bending direction. x The best results are often achieved during the embossing process. x The use of bending film leads to reduced-imprint results. x Depending on the bending direction (or depending on the upper and lower side), different sheet thicknesses lead to different springback values. x The best results are often achieved during the embossing process. x These materials must mostly be checked at our company for bending capability. x There is a risk of counter-bug or deformation. Tear sheet (checker plate) Compound materials Painted, coated, foiled sheets Refer to chapter "Tools and additional equipment for reducedimprint bending“. x TRUMPF bending film x Dies with R3 catchment radius x KEV dies x RollBend x Using coated LASERdur ZN tools reduces metal abrasion and prevents material build-up on the tool radii. x Information can be found in the chapter "Coated die LASERdur ZN." ® Galvanized sheet metals Hot-rolled steel / oxidized sheet metals x Using coated LASERdur FE tools reduces the build-up of cinders and cold weldings on the die catchment radii. x Observe the tool maintenance tips from the tool catalog. x Information can be found in the chapter "Coated die LASERdur FE." 189 31.1 Bending high-strength steels Application Area of application Note High-strength steels sustain higher tensions compared to normalstrength steels. This means component cross sections can be reduced and component weight and costs are reduced. High-strength materials are available on the market under the names Hardox, Strenx, Docol, ALFORM®, ALDUR®, DILLIMAX®, N-A-XTRA®, XABO®, PERFORM® ,XAR®,…. etc. Commercial vehicle construction (dump trucks, concrete mixer drums,…), cranes, forestry and agricultural machines, diggers and construction machines, wheel loaders, transport equipment, mixers, demolition tools, mining industry, … x It must be ensured that the correct minimum punch radius is selected. x The VLM die is specifically suitable for bending high-strength sheet metals (see the chapter "Adjustable dies") as the dies provide sufficient space for overbending and the shafts are specifically designed for the hard materials. In addition, the VLM die can be simply adjusted to different punch radii/material thicknesses thanks to the different die widths. x High-strength sheet metals can have a springback of up to 40°, depending on the rigidity, bend radius, material thickness, direction of rolling. (typically 8-15°) Material examples Strenx Is an extra high-strength construction steel with very good weldability in combination with high rigidity and toughness. Hardox Thanks to a unique combination of even and high hardness, high rigidity and very good notch impact energy, Hardox wear plate is suitable for a number of applications. 190 This table is used to select the lowest recommended punch radius (R) and die width (W) in relation to sheet thickness (s) when bending to 90° lengthwise and at right angles to the direction of rolling. *…..

Hardened tools 1 2 Tool holder made of 42CrMo4 Press-shut strip + tool blade made of hardened material 201 34.1 Coated dies LASERdur ZN Application Coated LASERdur ZN dies are especially suited to processing galvanized sheets. During the bending procedure, there is sliding between the sheet surface and the catchment radii of the die. This results in abrasion of the sheet metal material which, in the case of galvanized sheets, can cause material to build up on the catchment radii. Due to their high surface hardness and outstanding sliding properties, coated LASERdur ZN dies reduce the abrasion of the sheet and prevent the buildup of zinc on the catchment radii. Area of application Up to 3.5 mm galvanized sheet Tool property Version Die width W6 - W24 Max. sheet thickness 0.5 - 3.5 mm* Radius * Depending on the die width Tip Advantages 202 0.6 - 4.0 * For optimum bending results, we recommend the use of larger die catchment radii (R2 – R4). x Higher productivity and user-friendliness by eliminating cleaning work. x Corrosion resistance. x Even impressions on the sheet metal parts. x Higher-quality components. x Automation possible in a reliable process. LASERdur and LASERdur ZN dies in comparison Standard die after 300 bends Coated die after 300 bends Standard die after 3000 bends Coated die after 3000 bends LASERdur ZND for RollBend 1 Bending jaws of the RollBend die with ZND coating 203 34.2 Coated dies LASERdur AL Application The coated LASERdur ZN dies are especially suited to processing aluminum sheets. Due to their excellent sliding properties and high surface hardness, the coated LASERdur AL dies reduce the abrasion of the aluminum sheet and prevent material build-up on the catchment radii. Area of application Up to 3.0 mm aluminum sheet Tool property Version Die width W6 – W24 Max. sheet thickness 0.5 – 3.0 mm * Radius * Depending on the die width Tip Advantages 204 3-4 For optimum bending results, we recommend the use of larger die catchment radii (R2 – R4). x Higher productivity and user-friendliness by eliminating cleaning work. x Corrosion resistance. x Even impressions on the sheet metal parts. x Higher-quality components. x Automation possible in a reliable process. LASERdur and LASERdur AL dies in comparison Standard die after 100 bends Coated die after 3000 bends Catchment radius of the die 1 Early and regular maintenance and cleaning of the standard dies prevent irregular imprints on aluminum parts. 2 No deposits of the aluminum sheet can be detected on the catchment radius. Imprint on the sheet metal part 205 34.3 Coated dies LASERdur FE Application The coated LASERdur FE dies are especially suited to processing hot-rolled (oxidized) steel sheets. The hard cinder particles and corresponding high bending forces place intensive loads on the catchment radii. Due to the high surface hardness and the improved surface topography of the catchment radii, the wear of the dies is reduced and material build-up (weld deposits) is prevented. Area of application Up to 8 mm hot rolled steel sheet Tool property Version Die width W20 – W70 Sheet thickness 3.0 – 8.0 mm * Radius * Depending on the die width Tip Advantages 206 2.0 – 8.0 For optimum bending results, we recommend the use of larger die catchment radii (R4 – R8). x Higher productivity and user-friendliness by eliminating cleaning work. x Corrosion resistance. x Even impressions on the sheet metal parts. x Higher-quality components. x Automation possible in a reliable process. Insufficient maintenance leads to irreparable damage to the tools … 1 Catchment radius (LASERdur) with welding deposits Early and regular maintenance and cleaning of standard dies (LASERdur) can prevent damage to the catchment radius 3 Catchment radii were regularly cleaned (e.g.: ScotchBrite) … and to aesthetic impairment of the product 2 Bending tracks with welded-on and bent catchment radius (LASERdur).

Equipment and stop aids 35.1 QuickStop Application Area of application Note The stop aids for the TruBend/TrumaBend - referred to as "QuickStop" - can be used in 2 and 4 axis machines. Here, QuickStop can be used together on individual (mounted only on one stop finger) as well as on both stop fingers. x Up to 5 mm sheet thickness. x Bending of smaller and medium parts. x For 2 and 4 axis backgauge. x Inaccuracies can occur for large or thick parts. x For the TruBend/TrumaBend with 6 axis backgauge, QuickStop cannot be used due to the different stop finger shape as well as the separate programming option of the backgauges.

The following example shows a circular part that can be positioned and bent extremely quickly and easily. Up to 3 mm sheet thickness. The stop aid system is adapted individually and must be tested with the original customer blanks . Tool Drawing Dimension drawing.

Stop plates (2) are an aid to the operator when anchoring the component. Stop aids on the stop finger (3) The stop finger must be raised for lower tools with 200 mm working height. 212 (4) An individual stop plate (fitted on the stop finger) simplifies positioning of misshapen plate blanks. Positioning aids on the machine (5) The micrometer stop is positioned on the support bracket and serves as a frontgauge, among other things. (6) "Positioning aids" in the bending aid are also used as a stop at the front of the machine. 213 Micro joints On the one hand, micro joints are used to connect several plate blanks with each other, on the other hand they are also used for simple positioning when processing complex blanks. The micro joints are removed after the bending procedure. (7) Micro joints at the front for radius parts (created in several steps) to achieve an exact alignment position. (8) Micro joints for components with great stop depth. (9) Micro joints for components which require a straight stop edge. 214 36. Modifying tools Some parts can be produced only by modifying the standard tools. From an economic point of view, this is always preferable to a special solution. Advantages Note x Fast tool solution (depending on the tool 3 – 10 days delivery time). x Cost-effective tools. x Modifying or regrinding the existing tools of customers (even ACB) possible. x Modified tools can be simply supplemented with standard tools for other parts as well. x Can often be combined with standard ACB tools. Maximum loads are lower in some cases! Modification examples Adapter released Heel recess increased 215 Modified upper tools Punching lug milled Punching radius increased Punching back milled Modified lower tools Die for link plates released Window tool 216 Die milled to a narrow design 37. Complete service of bending tools Despite the extremely wear-resistant working area on TRUMPF bending tools, there can be some wear in the working areas in certain applications due to the constant relative movement between the tool and the workpiece. This means that precise bending can no longer be 100% guaranteed. A complete service at TRUMPF (grinding, hardening, replacement of Safety-Click and pins, surface cleaning incl. new labeling, rust-proofing and packaging, etc.) makes this possible once again. Advantages x Guarantee of function and safety due to complete service. x ACB angle sensors can be reground together with the punches. x For tool parts which can no longer be reconditioned, there is the immediate option of replacing them with new ones. x New tool data is supplied on a flash drive or is stored at TRUMPF – guaranteeing future replaceability. 217 Included in the complete service ᬅReplacement of Safety-Click and/or locking pins ᬆSurface cleaning ᬇNew labeling ᬈNew tool data on a flash drive (tool height) ᬉGrinding, hardening Assembly and adjustment for ACB sensors Rust-proofing, original packaging Before Example 218 After 38.
