Shenchong Argentine customer purchased a Sheet Follower with SC WDK CNC press brake machine for sheet metal processing. This set of bending machine equipment has been in stable use in the customer’s factory for one year. Shenchong press brake machines and follower devices are sold to South American countries and regions such as Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico all year round.
Advantages and features of the Argentine sheet follower for press brake:
- Servo synchronous control, automatic angle following
- Support Spanish operating interface, electrical standard matching
- Sturdy structure, suitable for heavy plate processing conditions
- Various specifications are available, flexible adaptation to machine models
- Remote debugging support, fast service response
- High cost performance, export competitiveness
Follower press brake bending is a key technology to improve efficiency and precision in modern sheet metal processing, and is mainly used in large plates or automated bending systems. It uses a follower support device to move, lift or lower synchronously with the workpiece during the bending process to achieve auxiliary support and positioning, thereby achieving accurate, safe, and efficient bending effects.
1. What is a follow-up bending machine?
Follow-up bending machine = CNC bending machine + follow-up support device
The follow-up bending machine uses the sheet follower device to achieve synchronous support and follow-up movement of the plate during the bending process, so that the support device and the plate maintain a reasonable relative position during the bending process, ensuring the safety, accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
2. The structural composition of the Argentine sheet follower
The bending follower device is an auxiliary mechanism used in modern CNC press brake bending machines to support the workpiece and achieve synchronous movement. It is often used to process long plates, large plates, heavy plates or flexible plates to prevent the workpiece from sagging, deforming or causing angle errors due to its own weight during the bending process.
- Support table or support arm: used to support the workpiece, usually a sliding or lifting platform with a ball bearing on the surface.
- Servo motor system: controls the position, lifting and synchronous movement of the support arm.
- Control system/module: connected to the CNC system of the bending machine to achieve synchronous linkage control.
- Sensing and feedback system: real-time monitoring of plate position and angle changes.
- Safety devices: such as emergency stop switch, safety light curtain, limit switch, etc.
3. Technical advantages of sheet follower bending
- Prevent sagging and deformation: effectively support overlong or thin plates to avoid bending errors and scratches caused by gravity
- Improve bending accuracy: ensure processing consistency, suitable for mass production of high-precision parts
- Reduce labor intensity: reduce the need for manual support and reduce operator risks
- Support automation: can be integrated with robot loading and unloading, automatic mold replacement and other systems to create a fully automatic bending line
- Adapt to large plate processing: especially suitable for large or heavy sheet metal workpieces with a length of more than 2500mm and a weight of more than 50kg
Key features of the Argentine sheet follower for press brake:
- Intelligent support + high cost performance
- Servo synchronous control + Spanish support interface
- Strong compatibility + remote maintainability
- Compact structure, easy installation + anti-sagging precision support
4. Application
Applicable scenarios:
- Bending of extra-long sheets: such as 4000mm and 6000mm sheets.
- Large-format flexible materials: such as aluminum sheets and stainless steel sheets.
- Automated production line matching: automatic loading and unloading + automatic bending.
- High-precision bending requirements: such as cabinet door panels, industrial covers, etc.
Application industries:
- Electrical control cabinet door panels, operating table shells and other long sheet metal
- Large thin plate structures such as elevator doors, carriage sidings, and locomotive shells
- Industrial air conditioning shells, advertising boards, kitchen equipment and other stainless steel parts
- Bending stations in fully automatic sheet metal production lines
Typical application scenarios for bending follwer exports to the Argentine market:
- Electrical cabinet manufacturing: long door panels, large side panels, high-precision diagonal bending
- Industrial equipment sheet metal: various large shells, frame profiles, heavy sheet metal anti-sagging bending
- Agricultural machinery equipment: large-size hoods or guards, need to reduce manual support
- Architectural sheet metal: stainless steel elevator siding, ventilation ducts, high-end sheet metal bending
