An option on Cincinnati press brakes, the new taper gaging system features unique six-axis gage fingers and matching simulation graphics software that calculates and displays the correct gaging position. The system eliminates the trial-and-error physical positioning of stops to achieve the three-point gaging needed to maintain correct location of a taper bend line. Creative gage finger design enables a variety of gage points and positioning configurations to allow fast, programmed resetting of gages for both taper and right angle bends. Mitten-shape gage finger design provides two-point corner stops, requiring only a single point on the opposite finger to complete the 3-point gaging for a taper bend. The gage fingers provide both gaging points and posts to accommodate different angles and part shapes.
