AUTOMATIC MACHINE TO BEND ELECTRO-WELDED MESHES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC E04C5/06 B21D11/12 B21F27/12 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: machine is provided with a plurality of bending fingers controlled vertically and spaced at a distance equal to the grid pitch and a plurality of bending levers performing a complex movement to bend the wires around the bending fingers. At least, one bending block is mounted on the base and is movable in the direction transverse to the direction of grid movement and rotation in two directions about its vertical axis. The bending fingers are actuated by respective actuators operating selectively and independently one from another in accordance with a previously created program executed by the machine control unit. The bending levers are connected to the bending block by means of the hinged kinematic mechanism and are actuated selectively and independently one from another by the program executed by the control unit, in coordination with the corresponding bending fingers.

EFFECT: continuous production of bent elements with high accuracy and reliability.
