Abstract
This videotape examines two of the oldest manufacturing processes--shearing
and bending. The shearing segment begins with an animated view of how a part
is sheared, and then focuses on the variety of shearing machines that are available.
Coil slitting is also featured. The bending section concentrates mainly on the
terms defining a bend, and on the primary bending machines-the press brake.
Various examples of press brake dies and bending operations are shown, as well
as, a segment on folding technology. Additionally, this tape outlines the necessity
for gaging in both shearing and bending operations.
