This thesis is divided into several chapters. First two chapters after introduction are written as search type. In next part I devoted to detailed design of functional mechanisms of linearly moving parts of press brake. For the construction of stop mechanism I dealt with conversion types as ball screw, pinion with rack and timing belts. There is also quite thorough calculation part in ball screw and pinion with rack issue. I have also dealt with the necessary bending force and then designed hydraulic cylinders. Elaboration of machine frame with safety features is included.

This thesis contains a structural design of linear axis with a stroke up to 800mm and a maximum load of 800N. The thesis also deals with a modular assembly system of the linear axis based on the structural design. Linear axes can be fitted with rolled, whirled and grinded ball screws with thread pitch 5, 10, 16mm and rolled trapezoidal screws on pitch 4 and 8mm. The stroke of the linear axes can be selected in the range from 200 up to 800 mm, with a maximum load of 800N in all linear dimensions. The feed of linear axis is provided by shaped rolling guide way and four trucks. The modular system offers two servo motors with direct and indirect measuring four stepper engines with indirect measuring. The thesis also includes strength and functional calculations of principal components, graphs of the possible load on linear axis in different positions , durability of the ball screws, maximum speed and feed rate of the chosen screws, data sheet, 3D model, drawings and assembly drawings of the nodes.
