I. Mechanical Injuries (the most common and diverse forms) The upper and lower dies squeeze and hurt the hand Dangerous scenario: When positioning or picking up and placing small workpieces after adjustment, if the hand accidentally enters the closed area of the mold (there is a risk of cutting if the stroke is ≥10mm). Typical case: Improper gesture when bending small parts (Figure 2), the finger was caught between the upper die and the workpiece, resulting in a comminuted fracture. Protection: Mandatory use of photoelectric protection devices (light curtains), automatic shutdown when hands enter the hazardous area. Physical isolation barriers are installed in the mold area. 2. Workpiece impact and dropping Risk of double-person operation: When bending large items, they need to be lifted in coordination. If the workpiece becomes unstable and falls, it may hit the foot or head (Figure 1). The burrs on the edge scratched the arm. Material stacking risk: The workpiece to be processed is stacked too high and overturns, or is scratched by sharp corners when turned around. Protection: Heavy items require hoisting equipment. Wear anti-crush shoes and safety helmets; The workpiece is reprocessed after deburring. 3. Accidents during mold loading and unloading Loose fastening bolts of the upper mold cause the mold to fall, or the lower mold is not padded with support wood, resulting in a rolling accident. Protection: Operate strictly after locking the machine (LOTO program); Anti-fall brackets are designed in the mold installation area. Ii. Electrical Injuries (with the highest fatality rate) 1. Electrical leakage caused by illegal renovation Non-standard circuit modification (such as direct connection of the neutral wire to the PE terminal) causes the equipment casing to carry a 220V voltage, significantly increasing the risk of electric shock. Protection: Comply with the national standard "single power connection" principle; A third-party electrical safety certification is required after the renovation. 2. Aging of circuits and short circuits Cable damage and negative pressure ventilation in the electrical cabinet drawing in cutting fluid/dust (as shown in the illustration) can cause an internal short circuit or fire in the electrical cabinet. Protection: The protection grade of the electrical cabinet is ≥IP54; Inspect the insulation condition of the lines every day; Leakage protection devices should be installed for wet zone operations. 3. Grounding failure of the equipment Poor grounding causes the metal frame to become electrified. During the rainy season or in damp workshops, it is easy to form an electric shock circuit. Protection: Test the grounding resistance (≤4Ω) weekly; Insulating rubber pads are laid on the operation console.   Iii. Parameter Errors and Mold Out-of-control 1. The pressure setting exceeds the limit The pressure suddenly increased beyond the limit value of the mold (such as setting a 300T parameter for a 200T press), causing the mold to crack and fragments to fly. Protection: Hierarchical management of parameter permissions; The system has a built-in pressure-mold matching database. 2. Overheating of the mold and lack of maintenance Continuous bending of thick stainless steel plates causes the mold temperature to rise by more than 150℃, and the annealing deformation of the material leads to mold jamming. Protection: Early warning by mold temperature control sensor; Cool and lubricate every 2 hours.   Iv. Human and Environmental Factors 1. Collaboration failure The foot switch operated by two people is not synchronized: When one person steps on it, the other is still adjusting the workpiece, causing the workpiece to shift and injure the lower jaw (Figure 3). Protection: Enable the "Double Confirmation" startup program (two people press keys simultaneously); Train collaborative gesture commands. 2. Fatigue and distraction When working in consecutive shifts for more than 4 hours, the rate of accidental button touches increases by 40%. Wearing gloves when handling small items makes it easy to get caught in. Protection: Mandatory rotational rest every 90 minutes; Do not use gloves when bending small items. 3. Environmental hazards After slipping due to the oil stains on the ground, my hand fell into the mold area. Insufficient light misjudges the positioning of the workpiece. Protection: 5S management (especially immediate cleaning of oil stains); The illuminance in the operation area is ≥300 lux. Summary： The safety of bending machines requires equal emphasis on technical protection (hardware) and behavioral management (software). Urgent priority: Photoelectric protection + electrical compliance transformation to avoid immediate life-threatening risks; Long-term management: Each shift's "Hazard Source Board" (Figure 4) indicates the risk points of the day, and combines the SHARP analysis method to quantify the nodes of human error. Operators must keep in mind: "Do not put your hands in the mold area, keep your eyes on the workpiece, and do not take chances" - any negligence of 0.1 seconds may cause irreversible damage.   If you have more ideas, please contact us!

I. Core Technology: The unique design principle of the turret punch press The core of a CNC turret punch press lies in its turret structure - a rotating tool magazine that can accommodate dozens of sets of molds. Unlike traditional single-punch presses, the turret design enables automatic die switching through program control, allowing the equipment to complete multiple processes such as punching, forming, and stretching in a single clamping. The turret is usually divided into two layers, with the upper die installed on the upper layer and the lower die fixed on the lower layer. Through precise synchronous rotation and positioning, the perfect alignment of the dies at the moment of stamping is ensured. The precision servo drive system is the nerve center of modern turret punch presses. It controls the high-speed and precise positioning of the sheet in the X-Y plane, the Z-axis movement trajectory of the punch, and the rotation Angle of the turret. The high-dynamic servo motor, in combination with the linear guide rail, enables the metal sheet to move at a speed exceeding 100 meters per minute, while maintaining the positioning accuracy within ±0.1mm. This combination of speed and precision is beyond the reach of manual operation or traditional machinery. Safety design is another major highlight of the turret punch press. Modern equipment adopts the "human-machine separation" principle - when the equipment is in operation, the operator stays away from the working area, and the equipment automatically stops when the operator approaches. In combination with the light curtain protection and the two-hand start button, the equipment achieves the intrinsic safety of "human-powered machine stops and motorized human-powered machine stops", completely eliminating the risk of hand injury caused by traditional punch presses. Ii. Technological Innovation: Intelligent control systems empower efficient production The innovation of touch interaction interfaces has greatly enhanced operational efficiency. The new generation of turret punch press adopts a 21.5-inch FHD full high-definition vertical screen and supports 10-point capacitive touch control. Operators can operate smoothly even when wearing gloves. The 178° full-view screen ensures that the processing status can be clearly observed from all angles. The closed rigid chassis design effectively resists the ubiquitous dust and oil stains in the metal processing environment, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the electronic system. The introduction of adaptive control technology has endowed the turret punch press with the ability to "think". Similar to the ACM adaptive monitoring system of OMAT Company, it can collect the spindle load data in real time and dynamically adjust the processing parameters. When abnormal vibration or sudden load changes are detected, the system can automatically slow down or shut down to avoid costly mold damage. Practical application data shows that this technology can save approximately 38% of the time for contour processing, 34% for slot hole processing, and extend the mold life by up to 40%. The modular programming platform has significantly lowered the technical threshold. Modern turret press control systems offer a graphical programming interface. Operators only need to import CAD drawings, and the system can automatically generate and optimize the stamping path. For complex and irregular-shaped holes, the software will automatically decompose the continuous contour into a series of small line segments and achieve this through high-speed step punching. This "what you see is what you get" programming approach enables operators without a mechanical background to quickly master the use of the equipment, providing an efficient employment channel for new immigrants and technology transition personnel. Iii. Automation Integration: Building an unmanned sheet metal factory The robot collaborative system has greatly enhanced the capabilities of the turret punch press. Through an integrated solution similar to Siemens' Sinumerik Run My Robot, industrial robots can be directly controlled by the CNC system to achieve full-process automation of automatic sheet material loading, finished product stacking and mold replacement.   This deep integration not only reduces the hardware configuration requirements, but also optimizes the robot's motion trajectory accuracy through a unified data flow, making the entire working unit coordinated as one.   The combination of the automatic mold changing system (ATC) and the automatic pallet exchange system (APC) has created a continuous production environment. When the equipment is processing the current workpiece, the robot has already clamped the next sheet in the preparation area. When special molds are required, the turret automatically rotates to the target workstation, and the entire process only takes 2 to 3 seconds. This seamless connection has raised the equipment utilization rate from the traditional 50-60% to over 85%, truly achieving a continuous production mode of "factory with lights off". Iv. Industry Application and Economic Value: The Core Carrier of sheet metal processing The application scope of CNC turret punch presses is astonishing: from 1mm thick electronic chassis panels to 12mm thick protective plates for construction machinery, from stainless steel kitchen equipment to aluminum alloy elevator decorations, its processing capacity covers almost all metal plates that require holes and shapes.   Factories equipped with turret punch presses are often simultaneously configured with CNC laser cutting machines and CNC bending machines, forming a complete sheet metal processing production line. The salary level in the industry confirms its technical value. In North American manufacturing, the starting salary for technicians operating fully automatic turret punch presses can reach $18 per hour, and for junior positions, it is no less than $15 per hour. The salaries offered by domestic high-end sheet metal enterprises for skilled turret punch press programming operators are also significantly higher than those for ordinary positions, which reflects the market's urgent demand for compound sheet metal technical talents. V. Future Trends: The Integration of Digitalization and Flexibility Digital twin technology is transforming the operation mode of turret punch presses. By fully simulating the stamping process in a virtual environment, engineers can optimize die selection, sheet metal layout and stamping sequence before actual production. Systems such as hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining can generate digital twins of real machine tools. Collision checking and motion optimization are completed in the virtual space to ensure the success of actual processing in one attempt. Users can upgrade from small format to large format and expand from thin plate processing to thick plate processing without replacing the entire machine, significantly enhancing the return on investment. Edge computing and the Internet of Things endow devices with predictive maintenance capabilities. By real-time monitoring of the main motor current, the positioning accuracy of the turret and the impact waveform of the punch, the system can provide early warnings of potential faults such as guide rail wear and mold fatigue. This shift from "regular maintenance" to "on-demand maintenance" has elevated the availability of equipment to a new level. If you have more ideas, please contact us!

The processing capacity of a CNC punching machine is influenced by multiple factors such as material type, machine tool model, mold design and process parameters. The following is the thickness range and key points of CNC punching machine processing sorted out after comprehensive search results: 1.The conventional processing thickness of a common CNC punching machine - Low-carbon steel: Usually 0.8 to 3.5mm, with a recommended thickness of less than 3.5mm; If special processes (such as roof cutting or concave cutting design) are adopted, it can be processed to 6mm. Stainless steel: The recommended thickness is 0.8 to 2.5mm. However, due to the rapid tool wear and high scrap rate, CNC punching machines are generally not preferred for processing. - Aluminum/copper plates: The recommended thickness is 0.8 to 4.0mm. However, it should be noted that soft materials are prone to sticking to the mold, so coating punches should be used or the mold gap should be adjusted.   2. The processing capacity of the special CNC punching machine for thick plates Carbon steel plate: Some dedicated models for thick plates (such as the NCPH series) can process up to 16mm in thickness and have a nominal stamping force of 3150KN, making them suitable for processing thick plates such as automotive longitudinal beams. - Other materials: such as copper, aluminum and other soft metals. By optimizing the mold gap (increasing by 5% to 20%) and tonnage calculation, it can be processed to 12.7mm (such as 1/2 inch).   3. Key factors affecting processing thickness Tonnage requirement: For punching thick materials, a higher tonnage is needed. The calculation formula is: land inches × material thickness × shear factor ×25. For example, a hole with a diameter of 2 inches and a thickness of 6.35mm requires more than 39 tons of force, which exceeds the capacity of ordinary machine tools. - Mold design: - Mold clearance: For thick materials, the mold clearance should be increased (for example, for low-carbon steel, it should be adjusted from 15% to 20%) to reduce demolding issues. - Punch material: Powder metallurgy punches are recommended to enhance impact resistance, and a coating is added to reduce the risk of soft materials adhering to the mold. - Maintenance and processing: Blunt tools will increase the required tonnage and need frequent grinding to extend their service life; Shearing designs (such as roof shears) can reduce tonnage requirements.   4. Special models and process expansion - Fully automatic CNC punching machines (such as DHSKC-Q series) : The maximum processing thickness is 6mm, supporting complex shapes such as round holes and special-shaped holes, suitable for industries like electronics and medical devices. - Turret punch press (such as COMA-567) : Optimized for thin plates, suitable for carbon steel plates under 2mm, with limited processing capacity for thick plates. Laser cutting alternatives: For ultra-thick materials (such as ≥16mm) or high-precision requirements, laser cutting is superior, but it is more costly and not suitable for materials with fast heat conduction, such as aluminum and copper.   5. Practical application suggestions - Material selection: Prioritize materials such as low-carbon steel and aluminum plates that are easy to machine. For stainless steel, carefully assess the cost of the cutting tools. - Equipment selection: For thick plate processing, dedicated models (such as the 16mm thick plate CNC punching machine from Qingdao Kelida) should be selected, and they should be equipped with high-precision servo systems and ball screws. - Process optimization: Use multi-station molds and automatic programming software (such as CAD to directly generate codes) to enhance efficiency. At the same time, pay attention to the design of hole spacing to avoid mold strength issues.   Summary Ordinary CNC punching machines are suitable for low-carbon steel plates of 3.5mm or less or aluminum/copper plates of 4mm or less. The special model for thick plates can be extended to 16mm carbon steel. The actual processing should be combined with the material properties, equipment capabilities and process adjustments. When necessary, laser cutting or cold stamping dies can be used as supplementary processing. If you have more ideas, please contact us!

When deciding between turret and single-head CNC punch presses, the choice hinges on your production volume, part complexity, material requirements, and cost considerations. Here’s a detailed comparison based on their features and applications: 1. Tooling Flexibility and Production Efficiency  - Turret Presses:     - Equipped with a rotating turret holding multiple tools (up to 60) that can be automatically indexed into position.     - Ideal for low-to-medium volume production or prototyping, as they eliminate the need for custom tooling for each part.     - Enable rapid processing of complex shapes(e.g., grilles, panels) by combining multiple tools and strokes.     - Achieve speeds of 600 strokes per minute, optimizing time for repetitive tasks.     - Single-Head Presses:     - Use one tool at a time, requiring manual or semi-automatic tool changes.     - Better suited for high-volume, simple parts where tooling changes are infrequent.     - Less versatile for intricate designs but excel in high-force applications (e.g., thick metal sheets).     2. Cost and Setup Time  - Turret Presses:     - Lower initial tooling costs due to standardized punch/die sets.     - Reduced setup time for multi-step operations, as tools are pre-loaded in the turret.     - Higher machine complexity increases upfront investment but saves long-term costs for diversified production.     - Single-Head Presses:     - Lower machine purchase costs for basic models.     - Higher operational costs for complex jobs due to frequent tool changes and custom tooling requirements.     3. Material Handling and Power   - Turret Presses:     - Optimized for thin-to-medium gauge materials (e.g., sheet metal).     - Limited punching force compared to single-head presses but sufficient for most standard applications.     - Single-Head Presses:     - Deliver higher tonnage (e.g., up to 200 tons), making them suitable for thick materials or heavy-duty stamping.     - Less efficient for lightweight materials due to slower cycle times.     4. Automation and Precision - Turret Presses:     - Often integrated with CNC systems for automated tool selection and path optimization.     - Advanced models combine punching with laser cutting or forming, streamlining multi-process workflows.     - Ensure precision for intricate geometries through synchronized turret rotation and sheet positioning.     - Single-Head Presses:     - Simpler operation but rely on manual adjustments for tool alignment.     - Limited automation unless paired with robotic loaders, which increases complexity.     5. Best Applications   - Choose a Turret Press If:     - Producing varied, small-to-medium batches (e.g., HVAC components, electronic enclosures).     - Requiring fast prototyping or frequent design changes.     - Prioritizing versatility over raw power.     - Choose a Single-Head Press If:     - Running high-volume, standardized parts (e.g., automotive brackets).     - Working with thick materials needing high-force punching.     - Budget constraints favor simpler, lower-maintenance machinery.   If you have more ideas, please contact us!

The bending machine is the most expensive to install. Analytical sketch The operator must be fully familiar with its components. If the part has already been manufactured, it may not be necessary to modify the design, but ultimately the operator must understand that: Material type and density. Flange dimensions and tolerances. Necessary Angle and Angle tolerances. Angle inside the arc. Blank size. In the absence of any of these data, supervisors will need to make educated assumptions. The part is now at risk of being inaccurate. An important initial step is to obtain detailed drawings.   Tool selection The sketch is used to select the tool. There are several options for you to choose from: air bending, bottom bending, coinage or custom use. For example, if the layout requires a bottom tool and the internal arc length is equal to the metal density. For that particular type of machine, you should use a tool with at least the same precision as the tool manufacturer recommends. No matter how accurately the bending machine is installed, worn equipment will not produce the right product.   Calculated tonnage It should be easy for the operator to estimate the tonnage required. Regarding air bending, there seem to be tonnage charts available. A reasonable calculation for bottom bending is nearly three times the air bending tonnage. Stamping requires about eight times the bending tonnage of air. The supplier will provide tonnage estimates for custom application tools. Do not attempt to bend until you have determined the tonnage required and compared it to the tonnage provided.   Select a bending machine If you have only one press in your workshop, you can skip this step. If you have more than one press, make sure that the press you choose is best for the task at hand. The center of the press has a tonnage per inch limit. Multiply the length of the side panels by 0.6 to find the tonnage per inch of the press, then start dividing your estimate by the tonnage of the machine. For items 12 inches wide, the maximum tonnage of the machine center should not be higher than 25 tons. 25 tons over 12 inches will produce compression overload. This is a bad decision because it could permanently damage the ram. When using tonnage control (manual and CNC), be sure to use only the amount required for the torsion parts and do not exceed the tonnage threshold in the middle. Also, keep in mind that overload of the bender is only allowed when the bottom is compacted, cast, or air bent with dedicated tools. Select tool location If the required tonnage exceeds the concentrated weight limit at the center of the system, you may be able to complete the task off-center. However, you should first verify that the bender supplier allows eccentric loading to proceed. Eccentric work is acceptable as long as you follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
