Sheet Metal Technology
The development of power transmission systems of modern machines re-
sults in replacement of mechanical drives by hydrostatic, electrical and hybrid
drives. The control of technological machines for metal forming is based on
computer numerical control (CNC) systems and programmable logic controllers
(PLC) as well as digital linear actuators. Mechanical transport mechanisms are
replaced by robots and manipulators with higher adaptivity. Together with de-
velopment of hydraulic and pneumatic drives, servo drives and digital linear
drives it is possible to optimize the operating space of machines and to decrease
the material consumption index. The most important characteristics of CNC
machines used in sheet metal forming compared to the conventional machines
are:
• automatic control systems feedback with control computer,
• many axes numerically controlled,
• application of automatic tool changer systems and 3-axis automatic
modular transport systems,
• automatic diagnostic systems of collision and errors of primary control
program,
• application of servo drives and precise toothed bars allowing to minimize
clearances.
