WIRE BENDING MACHINE COMBINING A SEQUENTIAL SHAPING DEVICE AND A DEVICE USING A TOOL PLATE

摘要

The invention concerns a machine for automatically shaping components via different types of bending provided in a common plane or different planes, characterized in that it comprises in combination a first device (1) for performing a sequential shaping with standard tools by individual bending, and a second device using a tool board (7), both devices being managed by a single digital control. The method for controlling such a machine is characterized in that the digital control provides the possibility for producing a blank of a component by individual bending on the first device followed by transfer of the component on the second device for finishing the component, and/or the digital control provides the possibility of shaping one part of the component on the first device and shaping the remaining parts on the second device, and/or the digital control provides the possibility of using each machine alone, and/or the digital control provides the possibility of using both machines for producing the same component.
