Embodiment Construction

[0038] Figures 1 and 2 illustrate an existing adapter board 2 for mounting adapters (not shown) on telecommunication equipment. The adapter plate defines a plurality of holes 3 sized to receive the adapter. To manufacture the adapter plate 2, a flat metal sheet is provided by a series of bending operations. Specifically, a first bending operation is performed to form a first bend 4, followed by a second bending operation to form a second bend 5, followed by a third bending operation to form a third bend 6, etc. . In order to produce a panel 2 as shown in Figures 1 and 2, thirteen bending operations need to be performed.

[0039] Perform each of these thirteen bending operations in sequence. As can be appreciated, as the bending operation proceeds, previously bent portions may deform beyond acceptable manufacturing tolerances. In particular, a problem that frequently arises in the manufacture of these panels concerns the flatness of the front surface 8 (defined by the plane...
