Dart Stiffeners

Dart Stiffener Overview

 N/A Standard darts are shown in the table below or you can specify your own angle and dowel size

Darts are rolled into the part during bending, reducing springback and stiffening the part. Darts are produced using dowels through the rocker and require relief grooves in the anvil. The side angles of the darts are a function of the angle and size of the dowel.

Darts are available as spcifiable extras on all READY Benders®. Darts are central on a 45° angle unless detailed.

Eliminate:
  • Galling and Maintenance
  • Unattractive Parts
  • Secondary Operations

Tooth Benders

Tooth Bender Overview

 N/A Tooth benders use special rockers to eliminate die/part interferences. Often the saddle needs to be made special without gibs in one peice. Send prints for a quotation.

Over Square Bends

Over Square Bend Overview

 N/A The READY Bender's ® ability to bend 45° beyond ninety (135° PA) is one of its greatest features. Customers buy standard benders and do this simple alteration themselves, adding a degree or two of overbend to the rocker. This easy alteration is done by grinding the bending jaw of the rocker, while not distrubing the working radius of the bending lobe (grind past centerline).

For assistance, call READY Technology and we will give you the necessary dimensions to make this alteration

The "Hemmer"

The "Hemmer" Overview

 N/A This patented tool can forma slighly open bend completely flat in one vertical press stroke. Use it to form UP or DOWN in in high production stamping dies and automated machines. Eliminate the cam action "pre-hem" operation and do hems in two stations instead of three.

  • Eliminate Die Stations and Operations;
  • Use in Progressive Dies, Automated Machines
We use full hard D-2 rockers and special READY High Production style saddles. Thiis is a special bender, yet attractively priced.

All hem applications should be quoted by READY. Fax prints and the worksheet on the back cover. We usually suggest a test-bend using your material to accurately predict results and select the right hemmer design. We charge a modest fee for this service, based upon the application.

Important Hemmer Functions
  1. Diameter may be chosen more by leg height than material thickness
  2. Testing is highly recommended on all hem applications to help determine proper positioning
  3. Pressure pad need to avoid sliding as hemmer contacts and flattens
  4. Maximum hemmer length is 12". For longer lengths, butt end-to-end with .010" gap between saddles.

Pad Benders

Pad Benders Overview

 N/A Pads can help in many bender applications. By activating the bender on top of a pad, you isolate the rocker from the part on the critical holddown surface.
NO CONTACT = NO MARK

Important Pad Functions
  1. Pads can be design to match a part's "irregular" shape on one side yet be flat and parallel on the surface that the bender contacts.
  2. Eliminates rocker contact and impact on part holddown surface
  3. To protect a part cutout or hole from distortion do to its proximity to the bend line.
  4. To eliminate humping of the material when the application distates upsizing the rocker diameter. The pad provides holddown pressure close to the bend radius
  5. To match a standard rocker diameter ti the Zee bend or offset vertical height. Allows the use of standard rockers versus making specials.

When Using Pads, READY Technology Reommends:
  1. Locate the pad and its shoulder screws/spools as close as possible to the tangency point of the radius. This location and bushings or guides will prevent the pad from slipping
  2. Springs to lift the pad should work separately from the spring return of the bender.
  3. Additional part holddown may be required in some special applications (pilots, die springs or nitrogen cylinder).
