Bending is an important process of sheet metal processing, with high technical content and relatively slow processing speed, which is often the bottleneck of processing, occupies more high-quality operators, and is a link with a high proportion of labor costs. But if you want more precision and faster machining efficiency for a specific sheet metal part, you can use an intelligent flexible bending center.
Characteristics and pain points of sheet metal processing industry
With the decline in the sales of laser cutting machines** and the increasing cutting speed, the bottleneck of sheet metal factory capacity is concentrated in the bending link. The batch is large, the variety is many, the mold change is frequent, the bending workers are needed, the working intensity is high for a long time, the bending efficiency is low, and the bending consistency is difficult to guarantee. For example, in the door industry and elevator industry, the plate is large, and at least two skilled workers are required to operate on the hydraulic press brake, which not only consumes physical strength, but also operates the hydraulic press brake very dangerously and is prone to industrial accidents. Involving tool changes and multiple bending operations, manual die changes, repetitive positioning, and feeding are time-consuming and error-prone, resulting in a large number of parts being scrapped. For different bending shapes, it is necessary to manufacture and store the corresponding molds, which increases the production cycle and mold costs. The new generation of workers has high requirements for working environment and salary, and it is a common problem for manufacturing enterprises to quit their jobs at every turn.
Intelligent flexible bending center is a kind of efficient and saving labor and mold bending equipment, through system programming, can realize the concurrent linkage of multiple shafts, control the clamping of the pressure jaw or suction cup adsorption plate, control the feeding or rotation of the plate, through the universal bending tool, realize the multi-sided multi-tool bending and forming of the workpiece, and the efficiency, accuracy and consistency of bending are significantly improved.
In the past, only a few powerful companies could afford to buy millions or even tens of millions of imported flexible bending centers, the production of high value-added products, maintenance is very expensive, and only a few employees can operate, and even some companies just buy as a façade decoration.
The intelligent flexible bending center adopts a universal bending mold, which can complete the bending of various shapes with only one set of molds, and the user does not need to customize the mold, and each tool is the fastest 02 seconds, multi-sided bending is formed at one time, an average of about 30 seconds for a workpiece, 24 hours of uninterrupted work. The equipment can easily realize the needs of arc, crushed edge, back shape, closed type and other complex types of sheet metal bending.
Graphical visual programming system, users only need to input the corresponding bending parameters according to the size of the workpiece to automatically generate the bending program, and ordinary workers can learn it in 2 hours. The system supports bending detection function, if the bending parameters are abnormal, the system self-test program will automatically alarm and prompt the user.
The intelligent flexible bending center greatly reduces the threshold of investment and use, making this powerful, efficient and precise equipment enter all walks of life at an astonishing speed, not only improving production efficiency, but also improving corporate image and management level.
Which types of products are suitable for intelligent flexible bending center machining
At present, the intelligent flexible bending center is suitable for bending 035 3mm thick stainless steel, aluminum, cold-rolled plate and other metal plates, there are more than two sides of the sheet metal parts that need to be bent, the bending height is 170mm standard, all support custom bending height 300mm, bending width does not exceed 2500mm, the maximum size does not exceed 3200mm 1500mm, the minimum size of four-sided forming is 80mm 120mm, and the minimum inner size of both sides is 80mm. The more complex the structure, the more times and edges that need to be bent, the more obvious the advantages of the intelligent flexible bending center.
Application of intelligent flexible bending center
The application of intelligent flexible bending center is all over the industry, because of its strong applicability, it is not concentrated in a specific industry, typical application industries such as: filing cabinets, electrical cabinets, tool cabinets, kitchen utensils, air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, decoration, door industry, elevators, etc., similar to the sheet metal parts that are difficult to solve by conventional bending are the advantages of intelligent flexible bending centers. Compared to traditional manual or robotic bending, intelligent flexible bending centers have overwhelming efficiency and precision advantages.
