CNC Adjustable V-Dies for LVD Strippit Press Brakes
LVD Strippit, Akron, NY, introduces the Vari-Vee V30-140 CNC adjustable V-die, engi- neered for use in its complete range of PPEB and Easy-Form press brakes. The Vari- Vee V30-140 comple- ments the company’s heavy-duty Vari-Vee option. This smaller die offers the benefits of a variable and adjustable-bottom V- die to a broader range of press-brake models— from 320 to 1000 tons,
with length to 315 in. The die provides auto- matic adjustment of the V-width in increments of 0.39 in., minimizing setup time and providing flexi- bility. The variable die allows the bending of sharp angles, to 50 deg. for the maximum V-width, particularly
useful when forming high-strength materials exhibiting significant springback.
The radius on the V-die is a hardened insert machined with LVD’s patented Stone compound curve, for optimal rolling and friction-reducing properties. The die proves ideal for applications that demand bending of different thicknesses of materials; fre-
quent die changes; bending thick mate- rials with large V widths or different radii on the same component; and for bending high-strength materials that tend to crack while bending.
