Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program examines two of the oldest manufacturing processes: shearing and bending.
The shearing segment begins with an animated view of how a part is sheared, and then focuses on the variety of shearing machines that are available. Coil slitting is also featured. The bending section concentrates mainly on the terms defining a bend, and on the primary bending machines - the press brake. Various examples of press brake dies and bending operations are shown, as well as, a segment on folding technology. Additionally, this program outlines the necessity for gaging in both shearing and bending operations.
