Product Introduction
The classification of bending machine molds is mainly based on dimensions such as structural form, processing technology, shape, material, application function, and precision, with specific categories as follows:
1. Classification by Structural Form
Integral Mold: Formed in one piece, featuring stable structure and suitable for mass production of standard parts.
Segmented Mold: Composed of multiple modular segments, adjustable according to the length of workpieces, with strong flexibility.
Combined Mold: Assembled from components such as mold bases and mold cores; different mold cores can be easily replaced to adapt to various workpieces.
2. Classification by Processing Technology
Standard Mold: Compliant with universal industry specifications (e.g., ISO standards), suitable for conventional bending needs.
Non-Standard Mold (Custom Mold): Designed based on the shape and size of specific workpieces, used for processing complex or special products.
3. Classification by Shape
V-Shaped Mold: The most common type, with a V-shaped mold opening, used for bending right angles or bevel angles (e.g., 90°, 45°).
U-Shaped Mold: With a U-shaped mold opening, used for bending groove-shaped and box-shaped workpieces.
O-Shaped Mold: With a circular mold opening, used for bending closed arcs or annular workpieces.
Arc Mold: With an arc-shaped mold core, used for bending rounded corners or curved surfaces.
Special-Shaped Mold: Designed according to the special shape of workpieces (e.g., triangular, trapezoidal, wavy).
4. Classification by Material
Tool Steel Mold: Made of materials such as Cr12MoV and SKD11, with high hardness and good wear resistance, suitable for processing conventional metal materials (e.g., steel plates, aluminum plates).
Cemented Carbide Mold: Made of materials such as tungsten steel, with extremely high hardness, suitable for processing high-strength and high-hardness materials (e.g., stainless steel, titanium alloy).
Plastic Mold: Made of materials such as polyurethane (PU), with good elasticity, used to protect the surface of workpieces (e.g., mirror-finish stainless steel, aluminum profiles).
5. Classification by Application Function
Bending Mold: A core functional mold, used to bend workpieces into the required angle.
Flattening Mold: Used to flatten bent workpieces (e.g., pressing and bonding after edge folding).
Shaping Mold: Used to correct deformation of workpieces after bending (e.g., adjustment of dimensional precision).
Composite Mold: Integrates multiple processes such as bending, punching, and edge trimming to improve processing efficiency (e.g., bending + punching composite mold).
6. Classification by Precision
High-Precision Mold: With small tolerance (e.g., ±0.01mm), suitable for precision parts (e.g., electronic components, medical devices).
Standard-Precision Mold: With larger tolerance (e.g., ±0.1mm), suitable for general structural parts (e.g., sheet metal casings, frames).
