data M Software sheet metal
technology is integrated into the Autodesk InventorŽ
functionality for sheet metal part design. Many powerful
sheet metal features are already available for the
professional designer.
To enhance the existing design features and as an addition
to the already existing technology for press brakes data M
now also offers a solution for transitions, e. g. for HVAC
applications. The
COPRAŽ Metal Bender TDˇi is very easy to use and takes into
account the specific requirements of sheet metal parts.

forming length; using bottom- and/or side rolls for the
analysis; theoretical analysis of longitudinal elongations;
influences of changing roll diameters on the maximum strain

COPRAŽ LaserCheck is now
also available for Delem controls:
Laser based Bending Angle Measuring Sensor for Press Brakes data
M offers a new interface for Delem controls to connect the
COPRAŽ LaserCheck via ehthernet. Now it is possible to use as
well as Cybelec DNC1200 as Delem DA65 and DA69 controls.
Manufacturing sheet metal parts with properly aligned bending
angles that are kept constant at all times often meets a problem
during the actual production process: different parameters in
material quality such as variations in material thickness and
stresses. In order to solve this problem and to make the use
also of minor quality materials safe for the user data M
Engineering has developed a powerful solution for measuring
bending angles in press brakes - the COPRAŽ LaserCheck. for more

Did you
know?
The history of wire goes
back many centuries. The first step towards
rationalization came in the 13th century when wire
drawing was invented, and straight away used for
military purposes. The coat of mail, which until
then only the more well-to-do could purchase, became
affordable for the simple warrior.
Today
the production and rolling of wire is an industrial
process by which large quantities of very different
shapes can be manufactured in a highly rationalized
manner. As with many other metal forming processes,
the technology is still primarily based on
experience. So in most cases the production of new
profile shapes is not only associated with a
considerable design effort but also means protracted
trials and experiments during startup.
The
starting product for shaped wire is very often round
or rectangular wire. Proceeding from this geometry,
the wire is turned into the required final form in a
number of rolling passes. So only the starting and
finishing state of the wire is known. Seeing as
shaped wires very often have geometries with
different radii, calculating the intermediate stages
is a complex matter. In addition to the purely
geometric aspect, there are other factors that play
a by no means negligible role. These include the
fact that the material lengthens when it is formed,
and can be very difficult to force into the border
regions. Large deformations produce local strain
hardening, as a result of which the material can
become brittle and thus fissured.
Previewing parameters can be
switched on or off. The designer is able to work within
the design context. COPRAŽ MetalBender TDˇi has the
following characteristics:
Automatic creation of sheet metal parts
All designed parts are fully parametric
Automatic creation of the corresponding assembly
Flat pattern calculation for each individual part
All parameters of the flat pattern calculation for each
individual part are pre-set.
For example, all kinds of
combinations of intersections concerning cylindrical
parts and conii can be created with the
standard transition command.
The TDˇi library is ready to use from the very first
minute due to its easy handling, correct parameter
settings, automatic creation of sheet metal parts and
pre-set calculation parameters. All this results in a
very short amortisation period.
The
following parts are available:
Segment elbow
Transition with offset
Cylindrical pipe with rectangular branch
Dished boiler end with horizontal branch pipe
Ventilator cowl
Conus with cylinder
Pyramid with cylinder
Pipe branch with cone
Pipes
Dished boiler end with circular base
