Heavy-duty inputs
Connect the workpiece and line load to frame, opening, handling, foundation and acceptance.
01
Provide grade, strength, thickness tolerance, bend length, V-opening, force per metre and allowable tooling line load.
02
Define geometry, flange, part weight, stroke, open height, throat and the access needed for every bend.
03
Record crowning, backgauge, tooling reference, long-part support and the straightness or angle method used for acceptance.
04
Confirm foundation, lifting, transport split, power, hydraulic service, guarding, maintenance access and automation interfaces.

Large WAD machines combine a reinforced structure with a model-specific ram drive. Review the working length, tool load, compensation and long-part handling together.

Reinforced structure
The frame, ram and worktable carry the load. Stress relief and machining establish the tooling and guidance references.
Match force, working length and duty to the selected machine.

Installation
Foundation and installation requirements must reflect the machine's actual size and load.
Review access and site preparation with the configured working envelope.

02
Cylinder count and placement vary with the machine. The hydraulic system and ram control coordinate the selected layout through the bending stroke.
Review the exact model for hydraulic capacity, motion and force data. Multi-cylinder construction does not by itself specify finished-part accuracy.

Backgauge
The backgauge and finger arrangement establish the workpiece reference.
Walk through the bend sequence and select the required finger layout.

Long-part access
Front support and lifting equipment accommodate long or heavy parts. Opening and throat depth affect usable access.
Review geometry and the handling route throughout the bend sequence.

Tooling
Tool capacity and line load must suit the force applied over the actual bend length.
Select the tool set and part support for the intended load case.

Deflection control
Crowning compensates for deflection along the working length.
Choose the arrangement for that load and check angle and straightness under agreed test conditions.

05
A long-part trial brings positioning, tooling, ram motion and compensation together. Use the intended support and handling route so the test reflects the production task.
Record material, thickness, bend length and inspection positions. The resulting measurements apply to that selected configuration and test setup.
Model and site boundary
Match the machine’s capacity to the load, tooling and site requirements below.
Compare force, working length, opening, stroke and dimensions in the model table.
Cylinder topology, controller, axes, crowning, tooling, supports, transport split, guarding and automation follow the final load case.
Confirm foundation, lifting, load distribution, tooling capacity, handling and the sample or inspection method.
