Customized bending center means selecting the appropriate bending position during the material bending process according to specific needs. Here are some steps and precautions for customized bending center:

How to customize a bending center? What should you pay attention to?

1. Determine the design requirements: First, clarify the specific design requirements such as the type, size, shape and bending angle of the material to be bent. 

2. Analyze the material properties: Understand the physical properties of the materials used, including bending strength, bending radius limit, elastic modulus, etc. 

3. Consider process limitations: Determine the location of the bending center based on the bending equipment and process requirements used. Consider the maximum bending capacity, fixing and support methods of the equipment, etc. 

4. Select a suitable bending process: According to the characteristics of the material and design requirements, select a suitable bending process, such as pressure bending, cold bending, hot bending, etc. 

5. Conduct a bending test: Make a sample near the selected bending position and conduct an actual bending test. The test can verify whether the location of the bending center is appropriate and whether it meets the design requirements. 

6. Consider tooling and fixtures: According to the bending process used and the location of the bending center, design and make corresponding tooling and fixtures to position and fix the material to ensure the accuracy and stability of the bending process.

When customizing a bending center, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Bending radius: The bending radius of the material determines the minimum curvature radius of the bend. It is necessary to select a suitable bending radius according to the characteristics of the material and design requirements to avoid damage to the material or loss of its original strength due to a too small bending radius.

Bending Angle: Determine the required bending angle and ensure the consistency of the position and angle of the bending center.

Material deformation and springback: During the bending process, the material will undergo certain deformation and springback. These factors need to be considered so that the shape and size of the material after bending meet the design requirements.

Equipment and process limitations: According to the limitations of the bending equipment and process used, select the appropriate bending center position to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the bending quality.

Bending process optimization: According to the actual situation and test results, the bending process is optimized, including adjusting the bending center position, adjusting the fixture design, optimizing the process parameters, etc., to achieve better bending effect and process control.

In general, custom bending centers need to consider factors such as material properties, design requirements, process limitations, and test verification. Through reasonable selection and adjustment, accurate bending that meets design requirements can be achieved. It is recommended to follow relevant safety regulations and operating guidelines in actual operations, and consult professional bending process personnel or engineers for opinions and suggestions based on specific circumstances.
