Wire or strip bending machine - has guide track curving in vertical plane for lockable slide with movable tool=holder

摘要

One or more tracks (F1,F2) curve in the vertical plane. Curvature can be to a constant radius (K), and there can be two tracks on opposite sides of a centre line (3) parallel to the machine working surface (2). One or both tracks can have the concave side towards the centre line, its centre (X) being on the opposite side of the centre line. Alternatively, the track can extend through a full circle. ADVANTAGE - Rapid adjustment and allows short distance between adjacent tools.
