This article suggests enhancing the hydraulic pipe-bending machine by transitioning from manual to semi-automatic and fully automatic modes, tailored for manufacturing truck front bull bars. The control system integrates a PLC, an HMI, sensors, and a CAD file processing application, enabling input of X-Y coordinates or control derived from CAD drawings to achieve precise bending paths and high consistency. The findings indicate improved machining efficiency and a notable reduction in bending errors.Refference:
