Abstract

A bending device for forming a blanking tool of a die cutter used for cutting folding carton blanks. The bending device includes a support member defining a planar work surface, an axle member defining a longitudinal axis of rotation and orientated for rotation about said axis in a plane passing through said axis and perpendicular to said work surface, locator pins on said support member defining a plurality of bending stations and cooperable with said axle member to position said axle member at one of said bending stations during a bending operation; mounting arms for mounting said axle member on said support member to permit movement of said axle member to any one of said bending stations; and a roller mounted eccentrically at the lower end of said axle member and defining a bending axis parallel to and spaced from said rotational axis. When the axle member is positioned at a bending station and rotated a workpiece located between the roller and locator pin is bent to a desired angle.
