INDEXER FOR USE WITH A SHEET BENDING BRAKE

摘要

An indexer (100) is used on or in combination with a sheet bending brake (200) to cut or bend a piece of sheet metal at a predetermined location without having to make pre-measurements and marks. The indexer (110) comprises a scale (4) and a rotable shaft (5) having a handle (6). A first bending arm (10) with a gauge and opposed second (20) and third (30) bending arms are connected to the shaft (5). Second and third arms (20, 30) each have a stop (18) that positions the sheet metal to make a cut or bend at the predetermined location. An example of a method of using the indexer (100) is also discussed.
