Road construction and related equipment belong to infrastructure. Many companies want to enter this industry. Some customers have experience in pole production, and some customers don’t know much about it. Before we enter the light pole manufacturing industry, we have to figure out so many problems. E.g:

What is the goal pole? Street lighting? A high mast for square lighting? Power transmission pole? Or other applications…

What is a pole parameter? Material of the sheet? thickness? cross-section? length? Small end diameter/large end diameter

What shape of pole? Conical or polygonal?adidas herren terrex fast r gtx trekking amp nike af1 low 07 Switzerland saltar la cuerda es cardio Chile adidas gazelle pernille teisbæk מידות תנור אמבטיה salvatore ferragamo black Chile kosz mojżesza pościel Amazon nike flex 2013 run black air force 1 schwarzes nike zeichen damen Switzerland juegos para nena de 5 años procesor d pentium nebo 4 pentium nike sb janoski free nike sportswear damen air force 1 07 next nature Switzerland saltar la cuerda es cardio Chile nike flex 2013 run black

OK. After that, we were very clear about many of these issues. Maybe many customers are stuck on extreme processing.

We will have to go to LIGHT POLE TOOLING and PRODUCTION PROCESSING.

First, we shall know that for conic pole and octagonal pole, press brake tooling is different.

Normally Octagonal pole is with 86 degree top tool and 88-degree bottom v block. The tool cross-section is the same for the whole tool length.
While the Conic pole is with the conic top/bottom (male/female) tool. Tooling is with slope, one side small and another side big diameter.

OCTAGONAL POLE:
For Pole diameter up to 340mm, we can make one welding seam pole on the machine as normal;
If for pole size 340~500mm, we will have to make 2 welding seam poles;

pole diameter 350-500 x 12m, normally is with a 2-welding seam. the advantages:
1) save material. 0.5mx3.14 = 1.57m, plate width will be wider than 1.6m if we remove the edge. the pole will be one size smaller. when we cut it into a trapezoid, the plate will not be used effectively.
2) balance the seam welding stress.
for Dia.500mm x 12m pole with one welding seam, the welding seam will make the pole curved because of the welding stress. such big size pole will be difficult to straight. if we make two welding seams, two side welding seams will be balanced.
WHILE SOME customers would like to insist one-piece plate big diameter pole. the diameter also can be limited by Tandem hydraulic press brake throat depth. normally we push the pole plate forward or backward to finish bending. If throat depth is not enough, we can turn the pole left/right side. It looks that we solve the problem, but we can find that it will take a long time for the operator to treat it.

1. Difficult to handle the parts

2. Need much longer time

3. Throat depth can be smaller

1. Easier

2.Faster

3. Throat depth shall be enough

CONIC LIGHT POLE:
But this method is difficult for conic pole forming. because male/female tooling is also in conic. We can’t exchange tooling. The big diameter pole will be limited by the throat depth of the tandem press brake machine.
