bending follower

CNC Bending Follower Support

The table size measures a maximum of 700mm by 1150mm, with an adjustable height ranging from 870mm to 1080mm, and a length extension up to 2800mm. The lifting and flipping angle range is from 30° to 90°.

The bending follower saves manpower, improves material support, ensures uniform force distribution on the plate, and maintains the processing quality of the bent workpiece.

Installation Layout of Bending Follower Support

Installation layout of bending follower Support​
  • Bending Machine Compatibility

    It can be equipped with almost all brands of bending machines, including upper-moving electro-hydraulic servo, lower-moving torsion axis, ordinary and full-servo electric bending machines.

  • Bending Guide Plate

    Install the bending guide plate on the machine for wider parts, and adjust its height to align with the lower die for accurate bending.

  • Displacement Sensor Functionality

    The follower car uses a displacement sensor to detect the position and speed of the bending machine mold. It sends real-time signals to its control system, ensuring full synchronization with the bending machine.

  • Power and Rotation Features

    The follower car operates on an independent power supply. For larger parts, an optional hydraulic lifting and rotating table simplifies rotating and positioning during bending.

Functions and Features of Bending Follower

Intelligent Systems and Core Technologies

Equipped with an intelligent touchscreen control system featuring a clear interface. No complex programming is required; operators can complete training quickly and start working immediately. The system automatically adjusts parameters such as table height and installation distance, and matches them with the press brake automatically.

Optional Accessories

Suction-Cup Follower Fixture
Suction Cup/Magnet

Large, thin plates tend to shift because their low weight and rigidity offer little grip. By mounting suction cups or magnets directly on the follower carriage, you clamp the workpiece firmly and stop any sliding during bending. This setup boosts accuracy and keeps your process stable. Suction cups grip flat metal surfaces perfectly, while magnets lock onto ferromagnetic parts. When you select the right fixture for the material, you maintain workpiece stability and drive both efficiency and safety.

Hydraulic lifting rotating table​
Hydraulic Lifting and Rotating Table Function

Operating larger and heavier parts on the bending machine often puts excessive pressure on the extended follower rod, triggering motor alarms.

The hydraulic lifting and rotating table supports the extension rod, effectively dispersing pressure and preventing equipment alarms caused by heavy weights. It also makes rotating and turning parts more convenient and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

You face instability and quality issues when four to six operators struggle to manually support large sheet metal during bending. Our bending follower vehicle takes over that task, holding the sheet firmly so you no longer need a team just to keep material steady. This stable support boosts bending accuracy and streamlines production control. By cutting operator requirements, you accelerate the bending process and maintain tighter quality standards.

The bending follower support improves production efficiency by enabling automatic handling, rapid adjustment, and precise positioning. It ensures stable processing of workpieces and reduces manual intervention.

The system offers foolproof operation, requiring the bending machine to capture only the synchronization signal from the first knife. No programming is needed to achieve synchronization.

Yes, you can install a grating ruler on the bending machine to connect the signal
