Abstract
Apparatus for forming bends in the sheet material and including a bending unit with a fixed frame, female holding means for clamping the sheet in a vertical alignment, mobile tables for bending the sheet, which tables rotate on an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus on respective intermediary supports. Each intermediary support is independently moveable on the fixed frame from one position corresponding to a retracted position of the table to a second position which is a working position of the table. The intermediary supports and tables are independently operable.
Claims14
An apparatus for forming bends in deformable sheet material and comprising at least one bending unit, whose outstanding characteristic is that it is made up of a fixed frame, female means for upholding and clamping sheet material in a somewhat vertical alignment, the upper edge of said female means being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus, mobile tables for bending sheet material and set out lengthwise on either side of the sheet material to bend it in one direction or in the other, said tables rotating on an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus on respective intermediary supports, each of which are independently movable on the fixed frame from a first position corresponding to a retracted position of the table to a second position corresponding to a working position of the table, and respective means for independently operating said intermediate supports and said tables for bending sheet material.
