Abstract

A bending brake has a stationary table having a generally planar work surface having a straight front edge, a pivotable table having a generally planar work surface having a straight rear edge, a clamp for retaining a workpiece on the table with an end portion of the workpiece projecting forward past the front edge of the stationary table, and a pivot carrying the pivotable table for angular displacement about a pivot axis substantially parallel to the front edge of the stationary table and generally coinciding with the rear edge of the pivotable table. Supports and guides allow the pivot axis to be displaced such that the axis always lies parallel to the front edge and substantially in the plane of the work surface of the stationary table and in a rearmost position of the pivotable table its rear edge lies against the front edge of the stationary table. The pivotable table is moved about the axis while in contact with the end portion of the workpiece through a bend angle a, the workpiece has a certain thickness e, and the bend has a predetermined internal curvature radius Ri. The pivot axis and rear edge are at a spacing X from the front edge of the stationary table calculated by the formula: X=(Ri+e)xtan a/2.

Description

Translated fromFrench

La présente invention concerne une presse plieuse à tablier pivotant, c'est-à-dire une presse plieuse du type comportant une table fixe portée par un bâti et un tablier pivotant porté par deux bras latéraux articulés sur deux tourillons doaxiaux horizontaux supportés par des coulisseaux mobiles en synchronisme dans des glissières portées par le bâti, la face active du tablier étant celle encadrée par les bras latéraux et orientée vers les tourillons de ces derniers.The present invention relates to a press brake with pivoting apron, that is to say a press brake of the type comprising a fixed table carried by a frame and a pivoting apron carried by two lateral arms articulated on two horizontal doaxial pins supported by sliders. movable in synchronism in slides carried by the frame, the active face of the deck being that framed by the lateral arms and oriented towards the pins of the latter.

Dans les presses plieuses de ce type, généralement, le tablier tourne autour d'un axe de pliage en enroulant la tôle autour d'un cylindre centré sur cet axe et de rayon déterminé.In press brakes of this type, generally, the deck rotates around a folding axis by winding the sheet around a cylinder centered on this axis and of determined radius.

Cette méthode nécessite un double réglage de la position du tablier pivotant puisqu'il faut, en premier lieu, régler la position du tablier par rapport à l'axe de rotation de ses bras supports latéraux, en fonction du rayon du cylindre de pliage et de l'épaisseur de la tôle, puis, déplacer les tourillons d'articulation des bras supports du tablier pour ramener ce dernier dans sa position de début de pliage dans laquelle sa face active est située dans le prolongement de la face supérieure horizontale de la table fixe.This method requires a double adjustment of the position of the pivoting apron since it is first necessary to adjust the position of the apron relative to the axis of rotation of its lateral support arms, as a function of the radius of the folding cylinder and of the thickness of the sheet, then move the articulation pins of the support arms of the apron to bring the latter back to its position of start of folding in which its active face is located in the extension of the horizontal upper face of the fixed table .

En conséquence, dans ces presses plieuses, les glissières de guidage des coulisseaux supportant les tourillons d'articulation des bras supports latéraux du tablier sont verticales mais, en outre, le tablier est monté de façon à pouvoir être déplacé le long de ses bras supports, déplacement qui s'effectue donc transversalement par rapport à sa face active.Consequently, in these press brakes, the guide slides of the slides supporting the articulation pins of the lateral support arms of the apron are vertical but, moreover, the apron is mounted so that it can be moved along its support arms, displacement which therefore takes place transversely with respect to its active face.

On conçoit aisément que, non seulement ce double réglage conduit à une opération longue et onéreuse mais, qu'en outre, les efforts supportés par le tablier, lors d'une opération de pliage d'une tôle présentant une grande résistance mécanique au pliage, peuvent atteindre des valeurs considérables. Les moyens de déplacement et de maintien du tablier le long de ses bras supports latéraux auxquels sont transmis tous ces efforts doivent donc être largement dimensionnés.It is easy to see that, not only does this double adjustment lead to a long and expensive operation but, moreover, the forces supported by the deck, during a bending operation of a sheet having a high mechanical resistance to bending, can reach considerable values. The means for moving and holding the apron along its lateral support arms to which all these forces are transmitted must therefore be largely dimensioned.

Il existe un autre type de presse plieuse à tablier dans lequel les tourillons d'articulation des bras supports du tablier pivotant sont fixes par rapport du bâti, mais, en contrepartie, la table fixe est mobile verticalement par rapport au bâti, ce qui impose aussi un double réglage, c'est-à-dire, le réglage du tablier dans ses bras supports et celui de la table par rapport au bâti et donc par rapport aux tourillons. On retrouve donc, dans ce type de presse, les mêmes inconvénients que ceux rencontrés avec les presses du premier type cité.There is another type of apron press brake in which the articulation pins of the support arms of the pivoting apron are fixed relative to the frame, but, in return, the fixed table is movable vertically relative to the frame, which also requires a double adjustment, that is to say, the adjustment of the deck in its support arms and that of the table relative to the frame and therefore relative to the pins. There are therefore, in this type of press, the same drawbacks as those encountered with presses of the first type mentioned.

Par le brevet FR-A 2 502 518, on connaît une presse plieuse à tablier pivotant du premier type cité et dans laquelle le tablier est fixé rigidement à ses bras supports latéraux et dans laquelle l'axe de pivotement du tablier, réglable verticalement et horizontalement, peut être placé dans le même plan horizontal que la face supérieure de la table ou sommier et à une certaine distance du bord vertical antérieur de ce sommier. Mais, dans cette presse plieuse, l'arête de la face active du tablier qui, lorsque le tablier est en position de départ, est la plus proche du bord vertical de la table, n'est pas confondue avec l'axe commun de pivotement des bras supports du tablier. Il en résulte qu'en cours de pliage, la face active du tablier glisse contre la face de la tôle à plier en risquant d'en détériorer l'aspect de surface.From patent FR-A 2 502 518, there is known a press brake with pivoting apron of the first type cited and in which the apron is rigidly fixed to its lateral support arms and in which the pivot axis of the apron, adjustable vertically and horizontally , can be placed in the same horizontal plane as the upper face of the table or box spring and at a certain distance from the front vertical edge of this bed base. But, in this press brake, the edge of the active face of the deck which, when the deck is in the starting position, is closest to the vertical edge of the table, is not confused with the common pivot axis support arms of the deck. As a result, during folding, the active face of the apron slides against the face of the sheet to be folded, risking deteriorating the surface appearance.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant une presse plieuse qui, non seulement ne nécessite qu'un seul réglage de position, mais qui présente, en outre, l'avantage de pouvoir être facilement adaptable à une commande programmée ou commande numérique.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a press brake which not only requires only one position adjustment, but which also has the advantage of being easily adaptable to a programmed command or digital command. .

A cet effet, dans une presse plieuse, selon FR-A 2 502 518, les glissières de guidage des coulisseaux supportant les tourillons d'articulation des bras supports du tablier pivotant sont disposées horizontalement et de manière qu l'arête de la face active du tablier la plus proche de la table, lorsqu'il est en position de départ, soit confondue avec l'axe commun des tourillons d'articulation au bâti des bras supports du tablier, l'une des positions extrêmes des coulisseaux correspondant à la mise en coïncidence des deux arêtes précitées de la table fixe et de la face active du tablier et, par conséquent, de l'axe commun des tourillons d'articulation des bras supports du tablier pivotant, le coulisseau de chaque tourillon mobile dans sa glissière horizontale est lié axialement à une vis horizontale de réglage portée par un écrou, normalement fixe solidaire du bâti de la presse, des moyens manuels ou moteurs à commandes automatiques étant prévus pour permettre l'entraînement en rotation synchronisée des deux coulisseux, et la face de l'écrou fixe, solidaire du bâti, tournée du côté de l'extrémité de la vis non liée au coulisseau correspondant, prend appui contre le bâti par l'intermédiaire d'une cale de sécurité apte à céder par cisaillage et autoriser un recul de l'écrou et de sa vis si les forces précitées dépassent un seuil prédéterminé, cette cale de sécurité étant constituée par une rondelle entourant librement la vis de l'écrou fixe considéré, présentant, sur au moins l'une de ses faces, une gorge annulaire d'affaiblissement la divisant en deux parties annulaires concentriques séparables par cisaillage et par l'une desquelles elle est en appui contre le bâti tandis que l'écrou fixe est en appui contre l'autre.For this purpose, in a press brake, according to FR-A 2 502 518, the guide slides of the slides supporting the articulation pins of the support arms of the pivoting apron are arranged horizontally and in such a way that the edge of the active face of the apron closest to the table, when it is in the starting position, or coincides with the common axis of the pivot pins at the frame of the support arms of the apron, one of the extreme positions of the slides corresponding to the positioning coincidence of the two aforementioned edges of the fixed table and of the active face of the apron and, consequently, of the common axis of the articulation journals of the support arms of the pivoting apron, the slide of each movable journal in its horizontal slide is linked axially to a horizontal adjustment screw carried by a nut, normally fixed integral with the press frame, manual means or motors with automatic controls being provided to allow entry synchronized rotational rotation of the two runners, and the face of the fixed nut, integral with the frame, turned towards the end of the screw not linked to the corresponding slide, bears against the frame by means of a wedge safety device capable of yielding by shearing and authorizing a retraction of the nut and of its screw if the aforementioned forces exceed a predetermined threshold, this safety wedge being constituted by a washer freely surrounding the screw of the fixed nut considered, having, on at least one of its faces, an annular weakening groove dividing it into two concentric annular parts separable by shearing and by one of which it is in abutment against the frame while the fixed nut is in abutment against the 'other.

Le mode d'utilisation de cette presse est donc très simple puisque, lors d'un pliage, la position de l'axe commun de pivotement des bras supports du tablier est déterminée par la formule:

Figure imgb0001
dans laquelle:

  • - X est la distance séparant les arêtes précitées de la table fixe et de la face active du coulisseau,
  • - Ri est le rayon intérieur de courbure de la tôle à plier, en fin de pliage,
  • - e est l'épaisseur de la tôle, et
  • - a l'angle de la rotation effectuée par le tablier lors d'une opération de pliage et qui est lui-même déterminé par l'angle auquel la tôle doit être pliée.
The mode of use of this press is therefore very simple since, during folding, the position of the common pivot axis of the support arms of the deck is determined by the formula:
Figure imgb0001
in which:
  • - X is the distance separating the above-mentioned edges from the fixed table and from the active face of the slide,
  • - Ri is the internal radius of curvature of the sheet to be bent, at the end of bending,
  • - e is the thickness of the sheet, and
  • - the angle of rotation performed by the deck during a folding operation and which is itself determined by the angle at which the sheet must be folded.

Le mode de fonctionnement de cette presse plieuse, qui est de construction plus simple que les presses plieuses connues de ce type, ne nécessite qu'un réglage de position, celui de la position des tourillons d'articulation des bras supports du tablier mais il fait appel à une variable supplémentaire pour la détermination de la position des coulisseaux, à savoir la tangente de l'angle

Figure imgb0002
The operating mode of this press brake, which is simpler in construction than known press brakes of this type, requires only a position adjustment, that of the position of the articulation pins of the support arms of the deck but it does call to an additional variable for the determination of the position of the slides, namely the tangent of the angle
Figure imgb0002

L'introduction de cette variable supplémentaire présente peut-être l'inconvénient de compliquer le calcul de la détermination de la position des coulisseaux pour chaque nouvelle opération de pliage, notamment si la presse plieuse est équipée de moyens de réglage à commande manuelle, mais, par contre, dans le cas d'une presse plieuse automatique à commande programmée, ce mode de fonctionnement présente l'avantage d'une plus grande rapidité et d'une plus grande précision qu'avec les presses plieuses traditionnelles.The introduction of this additional variable may have the disadvantage of complicating the calculation of the determination of the position of the slides for each new folding operation, in particular if the press brake is equipped with adjustment means with manual control, but, on the other hand, in the case of an automatic press brake with programmed control, this operating mode has the advantage of greater speed and greater precision than with traditional press brakes.

Par rapport aux presses plieuses antérieures connues, la presse selon l'invention présente, en outre, l'avantage de permettre non seulement de plier des tôles d'épaisseurs variables sans réglage compliqué mais aussi de réaliser des pliages en retour, c'est-à-dire en sens inverse, sans avoir à retourner la tôle.Compared to known prior press brakes, the press according to the invention has, moreover, the advantage of making it possible not only to bend sheets of variable thicknesses without complicated adjustment, but also to make back bends, that is to say that is, in the opposite direction, without having to turn the sheet over.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de cette presse plieuse à tablier pivotant:

  • Figure 1 en est une vue partielle en perspective;
  • Figures 2 à 4 sont des vues schématiques en coupe transversale illustrant le mode de fonctionnement de cette presse plieuse;
  • Figure 5 est une vue schématique illustrant une forme d'exécution des moyens de sécurité susceptibles d'équiper cette presse plieuse.
In any case, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this press brake with pivoting apron:
  • Figure 1 is a partial perspective view;
  • Figures 2 to 4 are schematic views in cross section illustrating the operating mode of this press brake;
  • Figure 5 is a schematic view illustrating an embodiment of the security means capable of equipping this press brake.

La presse plieuse à tablier pivotant de l'invention comporte, comme les presses plieuses traditionnelles de ce type, une table horizontale fixe 2 disposée entre les deux montants latéraux 3 d'un bâti qui la supporte, entre lesquels est monté, de manière à pouvoir coulisser verticalement au-dessus de la table 2, un serre-tôle 4 guidé par des glissières verticales 5 aménagées sur les faces en regard des montants 3 du bâti. Ces derniers supportent en outre les tourillons 6, coaxiaux et d'axe horizontal commun 6a, de deux bras latéraux 7 supportant le tablier pivotant 8.The press brake with pivoting apron of the invention comprises, like traditional press brakes of this type, a fixed horizontal table 2 disposed between the two lateral uprights 3 of a frame which supports it, between which is mounted, so as to be able slide vertically above the table 2, a sheet clamp 4 guided byvertical slides 5 arranged on the opposite faces of the uprights 3 of the frame. The latter also support the pins 6, coaxial and of common horizontal axis 6a, of two lateral arms 7 supporting thepivoting deck 8.

La face active 8a de ce tablier 8, qui est celle encadrée par les deux bras latéraux 7, est normalement située dans le même plan horizontal que la face supérieure 2b de la table 2 lorsque le tablier 8 est en position de départ.Theactive face 8a of thisdeck 8, which is the one framed by the two lateral arms 7, is normally located in the same horizontal plane as the upper face 2b of the table 2 when thedeck 8 is in the starting position.

Le fonctionnement de ce type de presse est le suivant :

  • une tôle à plier, non représentée sur le dessin, ayant été préalablement posée sur la table 2 et la face active 8a dutablier 8 de manière que la ligne le long de laquelle le pliage doit être réalisé coïncide avec l'arête supérieure 2a du bord antérieur de la table, le serre-tôle 4 est alors descendu pour presser cette tôle contre la table 2. Letablier 8 est ensuite pivoté dans le sens de la flèche 9, de telle sorte que sa face active 8a effectue le pliage de la tôle à plier autour du bord antérieur du serre-tôle 4. Cette face active 8a dutablier 8 est généralement constituée par un pièce 11 rapportée et fixée de manière amovible contre le bord correspondant dutablier 8a et apte à être remplacée en cas d'usure ou autre détérioration.
The operation of this type of press is as follows:
  • a sheet to be folded, not shown in the drawing, having previously been placed on the table 2 and theactive face 8a of thedeck 8 so that the line along which the folding is to be carried out coincides with theupper edge 2a of the edge front of the table, the sheet clamp 4 is then lowered to press this sheet against the table 2. Thedeck 8 is then pivoted in the direction of the arrow 9, so that itsactive face 8a folds the sheet to be folded around the front edge of the sheet clamp 4. Thisactive face 8a of theapron 8 is generally constituted by an attached piece 11 and removably fixed against the corresponding edge of theapron 8a and capable of being replaced in the event of wear or other deterioration.

Comme cela ressort de l'examen de la figure 1, le bord antérieur 4a du serre-tôle 4 est lui aussi constitué par une pièce rapportée et interchangeable.As appears from the examination of Figure 1, the front edge 4a of the sheet clamp 4 is also constituted by an insert and interchangeable.

On conçoit aisément que la position des tourillons 6 dépend, d'une part, du rayon de courbure du pliage désiré et, d'autre part, de l'épaisseur de la tôle à plier et, pour cette raison, les tourillons 6 sont montés sur des coulisseaux 12 aptes à être déplacés en synchronisme et sur des courses rigoureusement égales.It is easy to see that the position of the pins 6 depends, on the one hand, on the radius of curvature of the desired folding and, on the other hand, on the thickness of the sheet to be folded and, for this reason, the pins 6 are mounted on sliders 12 capable of being moved in synchronism and on strictly equal strokes.

Pour permettre le réglage de la position des tourillons 6 en une seule opération au lieu de deux, comme cela est le cas dans les plieuses connues de ce type, la glissière de guidage 13 de chaque coulisseau 12 est disposée horizontalement de manière que l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6 soit toujours situé dans le même plan horizontal que la face supérieure 2b de la table 2 et, par conséquent, que la face active 8a du tablier 8 lorsqu'il est en position de départ telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 1. En outre, le tablier 8 est fixé à ses bras supports latéraux 7 de manière que l'arête postérieure 8b de sa face active 8a, c'est-à-dire celle la plus proche de l'arête supérieure 2a du bord antérieur de la table 2 lorsqu'il est en position de départ comme illustrée sur la figure 1, soit confondue avec l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6.To allow the position of the pins 6 to be adjusted in one operation instead of two, as is the case in known folding machines of this type, the guide slide 13 of each slide 12 is arranged horizontally so that the axis common 6a of the pins 6 is always located in the same horizontal plane as the upper face 2b of the table 2 and, consequently, that theactive face 8a of thedeck 8 when it is in the starting position as illustrated in the figure 1. In addition, thedeck 8 is fixed to its lateral support arms 7 so that therear edge 8b of itsactive face 8a, that is to say that closest to theupper edge 2a of the front edge of the table 2 when it is in the starting position as illustrated in FIG. 1, or coincides with the common axis 6a of the pins 6.

Chaque glissière 13 d'un coulisseau 12 est en outre disposée de manière que, dans l'une des positions extrêmes des coulisseaux 12, les arêtes 2a de la table 2 et 8b de la face active 8a du tablier 8 soient pratiquement confondues entre elles et avec l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6, comme cela ressort de l'examen de la figure 1.Each slide 13 of a slide 12 is further arranged so that, in one of the extreme positions of the slides 12, theedges 2a of the table 2 and 8b of theactive face 8a of thedeck 8 are practically coincident with each other and with the common axis 6a of the pins 6, as appears from the examination of FIG. 1.

Il en résulte que le fonctionnement de cette presse plieuse ne nécessite qu'une seule opération de réglage qui consiste à déplacer les coulisseaux 12 de manière à amener l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6 dans la position imposée par la forme recherchée du pliage.It follows that the operation of this press brake requires only a single adjustment operation which consists in moving the sliders 12 so as to bring the common axis 6a of the pins 6 into the position imposed by the desired shape of the folding.

Si l'on appelle Ri le rayon de courbure antérieure de pliage de la tôle à plier 14 (figures 2 à 4), e l'épaisseur de la tôle 14 et a l'angle auquel doit être pliée la tôle 14, la distance X à laquelle doit être positionné l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6 par rapport à l'arête antérieure 2a de la table 2 est donné par la formule suivante :

Figure imgb0003
If we call Ri the anterior radius of curvature of folding of the sheet to be folded 14 (Figures 2 to 4), e the thickness of thesheet 14 and the angle at which thesheet 14 must be bent, the distance X to which must be positioned the common axis 6a of the pins 6 relative to theanterior edge 2a of the table 2 is given by the following formula:
Figure imgb0003

Les figures 2 à 4 illustrent trois opérations de pliage différentes d'une tôle 14 de même épaisseur, la course angulaire a du tablier pivotant 8 étant, respectivement, de 60°, 90° et 120°Figures 2 to 4 illustrate three operations of different bending of asheet 14 of the same thickness, the angular stroke a of thepivoting apron 8 being, respectively, 60° , 90° and 120°

Comme on le voit nettement en examinant les figures 2 à 4, au cours d'une opération de pliage, le tablier 8 pivote autour de son arête postérieure 8b puisque cette dernière est constamment confondue avec l'axe commun 6a des tourillons 6.As can be clearly seen by examining FIGS. 2 to 4, during a folding operation, thedeck 8 pivots around itsrear edge 8b since the latter is constantly coincident with the common axis 6a of the pins 6.

La figure 5 est une figure similaire aux figures 2 à 4 mais complétée par les moyens de réglage de la position du coulisseau 12 correspondant et ces moyens de réglage comportent un dispositif de sécurité décrit ci-après.Figure 5 is a figure similar to Figures 2 to 4 but supplemented by the means for adjusting the position of the corresponding slide 12 and these adjusting means comprise a safety device described below.

Chaque coulisseau 12 est lié axialement à une vis 15 engagée dans un écrou 16 solidaire du bâti 3.Each slide 12 is linked axially to ascrew 15 engaged in anut 16 secured to the frame 3.

On conçoit aisément qu'en manoeuvrant la vis 15 dans un sens ou dans l'autre, on déplace le coulisseau 12 qui lui est associé dans le même sens puisque l'écrou 16 est mobile tant en rotation qu'en translation. Lors d'une opération de pliage, la résistance au pliage de la tôle 14 exerce contre le tablier 8, et plus particulièrement contre la pièce 8a de ce dernier, une force de réaction entièrement supportée par les tourillons 6 et agissant dans le sens tendant à déplacer les coulisseaux 12 dans le sens correspondant à augmenter la distance X, c'est-à-dire dans le sens illustré par la flèche 17. Cette force est donc entièrement supportée par la vis 15 et l'écrou 16 et, si cette force dépasse la force maximale pour laquelle cette vis 15 et cet écrou 16 ont été calculés, il y a des risques de détérioration de ces deux organes.It is easy to see that by maneuvering thescrew 15 in one direction or the other, the slide 12 which is associated with it is moved in the same direction since thenut 16 is movable both in rotation and in translation. During a folding operation, the resistance to folding of thesheet 14 exerts against theapron 8, and more particularly against thepart 8a of the latter, a reaction force entirely supported by the pins 6 and acting in the direction tending to move the sliders 12 in the direction corresponding to increasing the distance X, that is to say in the direction illustrated by thearrow 17. This force is therefore entirely supported by thescrew 15 and thenut 16 and, if this force exceeds the maximum force for which thisscrew 15 and thisnut 16 have been calculated, there is a risk of damage to these two members.

Par mesure de sécurité, entre la face postérieure 16a de l'écrou 16 par laquelle il est en appui contre le bâti 3 et la face opposée 3a de ce dernier lui servant d'appui, est interposée une cale de sécurité 18.For safety reasons, asafety wedge 18 is interposed between the rear face 16a of thenut 16 by which it bears against the frame 3 and the opposite face 3a of the latter serving as its support.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur le dessin, cette cale de sécurité 18 est de forme annulaire et elle présente, sur chacune de ses faces latérales, une gorge d'affaiblissement également annulaire 19 la divisant en deux parties annulaires concentriques, l'une intérieure 18a et l'autre extérieure 18b.In the example illustrated in the drawing, thissafety wedge 18 is of annular shape and it has, on each of its lateral faces, a weakening groove also annular 19 dividing it into two concentric annular parts, theinner one 18a and the other exterior 18b.

Par ailleurs, le diamètre extérieur de l'écrou 16 est égal au diamètre dela gorge 19, tandis que la face d'appui du bâti 3 présente, en son centre, un évidement cylindrique 21 concentrique à la vis 15 et de diamètre intérieur égal au diamètre de la gorge 19 de la cale de sécurité 18.Furthermore, the external diameter of thenut 16 is equal to the diameter of the groove 19, while the bearing face of the frame 3 has, in its center, a cylindrical recess 21 concentric with thescrew 15 and of internal diameter equal to the diameter of the groove 19 of thesafety wedge 18.

Cette disposition a pour effet que, dans le cas où la force agissant dans le sens de la flèche 17 sur la vis 15 et l'écrou 16 dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, les deux parties concentriques 18a et 18b de la cale de sécurité 18, sont séparées par cisaillage, ce qui autorise en recul de l'écrou 16 et de la vis 15 sur une course a égale à la longueur de l'évidement cylindrique 21. Cette course de recul de la vis 15 a l'effet immédiat de faire décroître considérablement la valeur de la force agissant dans le sens de la flèche 17 sur la vis 15 et d'éliminer par conséquent tout risque de rupture de la vis 15 et de l'écrou 16.This arrangement has the effect that, in the case where the force acting in the direction of thearrow 17 on thescrew 15 and thenut 16 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the twoconcentric parts 18a and 18b of thesafety wedge 18, are separated by shearing, which allows thenut 16 and thescrew 15 to recede over a stroke a equal to the length of the cylindrical recess 21. This recoil stroke of thescrew 15 has the immediate effect of decreasing considerably the value of the force acting in the direction of thearrow 17 on thescrew 15 and consequently eliminating any risk of rupture of thescrew 15 and thenut 16.

A bending press having a pivoting table, of the type including a fixed bed (2) carried by a frame (3) and a pivoting table (8) carried by two lateral arms (7) articulated on two horizontal coaxial pivots (6) supported by runners (12) movable in synchronism in slides (13) carried by the frame (3), the active face (8a) of the table (8) being that which is bounded by the lateral arms (7) and directed towards the pivots (6) of these latter, the pivoting table (8) being rigidly fixed to its lateral support arms (7) in such a way that in the starting position its active face (8a) is located in the same horizontal plane as the common axis (6a) of the pivots (6) and this latter being always located in the same horizontal plane as the upper face (2b) of the bed (2) and at a determined distance (X) from the vertical edge of this latter, characterised in that the guiding slides (13) of the runners (12) supporting the articulation pivots (6) of the support arms (7) of the table (8) are disposed horizontally in such as way that the corner (8b) of the active face (8a) of the table (8) closest to the bed (2), when it is in the starting position, merges with the common axis (6a) of the pivots (6), one of the extreme positions of the runners (12) corresponding to the coincidence of the two corners (2a, 8b) of the fixed bed and the active face (8a) of the table (8), and consequently of the common axis (6a) of the pivots (6), in that the runner (12) of each pivot (6) movable in its horizontal slide (13) is axially connected to a horizontal adjustment screw (15) carried by a normally fixed nut (16), rigid with the frame (3) of the press, manual means or automatic control motors being provided to enable the two runners (12) to be driven in synchronised rotation, in that the face (16a) of the fixed screw (16), rigid with the frame (3), turned towards the end of the screw (15) not connected to the corresponding runner (12), bears against the frame (3) by means of a safety wedge (18) adapted to give way by shearing and permit the nut (16) and its screw (15) to move back if the aforementioned forces exceed a predetermined threshold, and in that the safety wedge (18) is constituted by a collar freely surrounding the screw (15) and the relevant fixed nut (16) having, on at least one of its faces, an annular weakening groove (19) dividing it into two concentric annular portions (18a, 18b) which are separable by shearing, and by one (18b) of which it bears against the frame (3), whilst the fixed nut (16) bears against the other (18a).
2. A method of using a bending press according to Claim 1, characterised in that, during bending, the position of the common axis (6a) of the articulation pivots (6) of the support arms (7) of the table (8) is determined by the formula:
Figure imgb0006
in which:
- X is the distance separating the aforementioned corners (2a, 8b) of the fixed bed (2) and the active face (8a) of the table (8),
- Ri is the internal radius of curvature of the metal sheet to be bent, at the completion of bending,
- e is the thickness of the metal sheet, and
- a is the angle of rotation effected by the table (8) during a bending operation and which is itself determined by the angle at which the metal sheet has to be bent.
