A tool and method for processing plate-shaped workpieces, such as metal sheets. An upper tool and a lower tool are moved toward one another with a workpiece arranged in between. The upper tool carries a processing tool on a main body opposite a clamping shank. The lower tool has a main body and bearing surface for the workpiece with an opening in the bearing surface. The processing tool of the upper tool has a bending edge and the main body of the lower tool has a counterpart bending edge which is positioned in the opening of the bearing surface. The bearing surface being displaceable relative to the counterpart bending edge such that the counterpart bending edge projects from the opening in the bearing surface.

A bending group of a paneling machine tool for manufacturing profiled elements by bending a sheet of sheet metal includes a main frame, and a blocking press able to block the metal sheet during the manufacturing steps. The bending group includes a first bending member and a second bending member, distinct from the first bending member, both suitable for carrying out at least a bending of at least a portion of the sheet of sheet metal, at least one of the first bending member and second bending member being mobile with respect to the other.

The present disclosure relates to an adjustment device for adjusting a bending angle of a stand for a display device. The adjustment device includes a base on which a stand useable for a display device is to be seated, a plate including a first plate provided to support the base and a second plate provided to be movable toward the first plate, a block formed to protrude from the second plate toward the first plate, and a crank having a first end formed so that as the first end is pressed by the block moving together with the second plate toward the first plate, a second end of the crank presses an inner surface of the stand in order to adjust an angle of the stand.

A tool for machining a planar workpiece, comprising an upper tool having a clamping shaft and an upper main body that lie on a common positioning axis, a tool body arranged opposite to the clamping shaft on the upper main body, the tool body comprising a bending edge, and a lower tool having a lower main body that receives a rotational body that is rotatable around an axis of rotation running in a direction of the bending edge of the tool body, wherein the upper tool and the lower tool are movable towards and away from each other in a stroke direction for machining the workpiece arranged therebetween, and wherein the upper main body defines a projection surface that is perpendicular to the positioning axis and the bending edge of the tool body is adjacent tangentially to the projection surface or is outside the projection surface.

An actuating device for actuating a contractible element for a bending element of an industrial machine for bending metal elements comprises a lower component and an upper component apt to move relative to each other from a first position to a second position, the actuation device including a connecting plate configured to be connected to the lower component of the contractible element. A rack and pinion gear unit is also set out and includes a pinion having an axis, at least a first rack and a second rack actuated simultaneously by the pinion. The first rack is configured to be fixed to the upper component and the second rack is configured to be coupled to the connecting plate. The pinion is operable in a first direction of rotation to move the first rack and the second rack transverse to the axis in opposite directions. The pinion is operable in a second direction of rotation, contrary to the first one, to move the racks in opposite directions towards a second position.

A method of forming a vehicle panel includes deforming a sheet metal workpiece between stamping tools to form a first and second edges that converge at a corner of the workpiece's main surface. The first edge is defined by a junction of the main surface and a first flange. The second edge is defined the main surface and a second flange. Forming the first and second edges includes deforming the workpiece so that the second flange has a first region bent to a first angle relative to the main surface and an unwinding region bent to an angle that unwinds from the first region as the second flange approaches the corner. The method includes deforming the workpiece between a second set of stamping tools that deform the first flange and the unwinding region of the second flange until the first and second flanges are bent greater than 90°.

The sheet metal brake with side loading rollers (10) includes a plurality of stations (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16), each having a lower beam (20) and an upper beam (22). Each of the lower and upper beams (20, 22) has a workpiece clamping element (24, 26) extending therefrom. Each station (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) includes at least one bending tool carrier (42, 44) having a bending tool (46, 48). The at least one tool carrier (42, 44) is movable relative to a corresponding one of the lower and upper beams (20, 22). A plurality of supports (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) selectively carry a workpiece (18) between selected ones of the plurality of stations (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). Each support (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) is selectively vertically adjustable, and may be a set of driven rollers or the like.

A method for producing a trim strip comprising an extended portion (20) and a bent portion (19) which has a sharp edge (21) comprising the following steps: i) providing a blank with a material thickness and a shaped end cap contour (27); ii) bending the cap contour (27); iii) forming a sharp edge (21) along the bent portion (19), wherein a punch (31) for the edge-forming process, comprising a side surface (33, 37) which is stepped so as to correspond substantially to the material thickness and which faces the die (30) and counter die (32), is guided along the side surfaces (52, 35) of the counter die (32) and die (30) such that the step (34) of the punch (31) engages with the marginal edge (56) and displaces the material of the folded portion (19) towards the edge portion (21), thereby forming a sharp edge.
