Design and Analysis of Hydraulic Operated Press Brake

Abstract

Hydraulic press brake is a machine tool and it is used for bending the sheet and plate material, most commonly used for sheet metal. The present work includes the simulation (stress analysis) of hydraulic operated press brake subjected to load. The stress analysis is carried out using advanced fem tool ANSYS. The static structural analysis was done for hydraulic operated press brake that analysis may be static or dynamic analysis. A number of analysis techniques like analytical and experimental are available for the structural analysis of hydraulic press brake. Same as number of optimization techniques are available for optimization of it like Taguchi method. Determination of the different structural analysis and optimization through the various methods lie FEA in a hydraulic press brake has been reported in literature.
