BENDING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bending machine which allows for improvement in working efficiency.SOLUTION: The bending machine comprises a slide guide 5 vertically slidably holding a partition member 4. A lower end of the partition member 4 is positioned above a workpiece W at a prescribed interval when the workpiece W is placed and held on a working position of a die 2, and the lower end of the partition member 4 is arranged at a position where the lower end abuts on the workpiece W when the workpiece W has been bent. Consequently, when the workpiece W warps caused by the bending, the partition member 4 abutting on the workpiece W ascends while being guided by the slide guide 5. In other words, the partition member 4 follows the warpage of the workpiece W attending on the bending and thereby ascends. Further, the partition member 4 descends along the slide guide 5 by its own-weight by discharging the workpiece W from the working position after the bending. Thus, an operation for opening and closing the partition member 4 every time the workpiece W is worked, becomes unnecessary and working efficiency is improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】作業効率を向上させることができる曲げ加工機を提供すること。【解決手段】仕切り部材４を上下に摺動可能に保持するスライドガイド５を備え、ダイ２の加工位置にワークＷが載置された場合に、仕切り部材４の下端がワークＷと所定間隔を隔てた上方に位置すると共に、ワークＷが曲げ加工された場合に、仕切り部材４の下端がワークＷと当接する位置に配設されるので、曲げ加工によってワークＷが反り上がると、そのワークＷに当接する仕切り部材４がスライドガイド５に案内されて上昇する。即ち、曲げ加工に伴うワークＷの反り上がりに仕切り部材４が追従して上昇する。また、曲げ加工後にワークＷを加工位置から排出することにより、仕切り部材４が自重によってスライドガイド５に沿って下降する。よって、ワークＷの加工毎に仕切り部材４を開閉する操作が不要となるので、作業効率が向上する。【選択図】図１
