Flexible part profiles

RapidBend technology adapts to work with a wide range of part profiles including box bending with side flanges.

Save up to 3 seconds per cycle

RapidBend technology can reduce the cycle time by as much as 3 seconds to significantly enhance your productivity.

Ultra-low speed change

RapidBend technology can reduce the minimum speed change point to 0mm above the sheet, eliminating unnecessary slow speed travel to minimise the machine cycle time.

While ensuring user safety is critical for both press brake manufacturers and operators, it is equally important to maintain machine performance. In general, traditional safety and optical protection methods can restrict machine performance and interfere with part production that can result in significantly reduced productivity.

Press Brakes with embedded RapidBend technology utilise high speed progressive muting that enables the tools to close safely at high speed until the punch is only millimetres above the material. This reduces the slow speed travel distance on every cycle for both flat profile parts and box profile parts with side flanges.

RapidBend technology is available in two performance levels - RapidBend and RapidBend Ultimate - to boost machine performance and significantly enhance your productivity.

RapidBend

The entry level RapidBend option enables the press brake to close safely at high speed until the punch is just 4mm above the material. During approach to the pinch point, the machine travels at maximum closing speed with dynamic sensing enabled for various part profiles for uninterrupted closing and shorter deceleration to forming speed minimising the slow speed travel distance to the final 4mm above the pinch point.

RapidBend Ultimate

RapidBend Ultimate technology changes the game by enabling press brakes to operate without restriction to achieve maximum safety and performance. Through a high-speed dynamic muting process and in conjunction with BendShield technology, the tools can close safely at maximum speed, then transition to bending speed right at the material pinch point. This effectively reduces the minimum speed change point to 0mm, eliminating unnecessary slow speed travel to minimise the machine cycle time. RapidBend Ultimate works with a wide range of part profiles including box bending with side flanges.

With time savings of as much as 3 seconds per cycle, RapidBend Ultimate boosts machine performance to significantly enhance your productivity.

Press Brakes equipped with RapidBend technology provide users with higher levels of safety and performance that consistently outperform any other machines on the market. Only press brakes with embedded RapidBend technology can guarantee higher levels of performance, so consider RapidBend or RapidBend Ultimate when purchasing your next machine.

Vimercati, the solidity in bending for 50 years

Vimercati was established in 1973: ever since it has been guaranteeing ongoing and prompt supply of machinery and technical assistance to its customers. Specialized in the production of press brakes, guillotine shears and sheet metal processing systems. With its decade-long experience on Italian and international markets, Vimercati offers reliable and top-quality products entirely made in its plants. Its highly specialized staff takes care of the whole production process, from the purchase of raw materials to all the manufacturing phases combining the new opportunities offered by modern electronics and computing to create strong, hightech, reliable, accurate and extremely flexible machines.

Vimercati offers a wide range of hydraulic and hybrid press brakes, starting from the smallest 30 tonnes x 1250 mm up to the 600 tonnes x 8050 mm, without stroke and opening limits along with a varied series of optional accessories. Tandem press brakes with various setups: with two or more press brakes with the same length and the same nominal bending forces; with two or more press brakes with different lengths and different bending forces. Along with the vast offer already available, we can design customized and specific solutions based on the production needs of individual customers.

Press brakes are equipped with: ACTIVE - HCL crowning system. One or more sensors, detects in real time the flexion, and instantaneously adjusts the deformations of the bench, allowing a perfect bending linearity. The cylinders of this crowning system are located in spherical housings that grant an excellent grip of the mechanical parts, avoiding at the same time any kind of wear and jamming during the working phase. Special mechanical solutions isolate the supports of the optical lines to check the linearity of the table and allow for perfect functionality of the Active HCL crowning system. The whole system is fully automatic and controlled from the CNC through dedicated software.

LAZER SAFE IRIS safety devices that manage, through a dedicated PLC and under top safe conditions, the speed change (fast approach – bending speed) at contact with the sheet metal. The LAZER SAFE safety devices are also available in a motorized version with automatic positioning managed by CNC control.

LAZER SAFE IRIS PLUS devices can be installed on press brakes up to maximum two metres in length. In addition to the above features, they can measure, check, and correct the bending angle to obtain, right from the first piece, minimum precision tolerances regardless of any changes in thickness, strength and rolling direction. The system can be used in real-time mode with elastic return measurement for each single bend or in database mode, with elastic return value detected and saved in a customizable database. Optional: system to measure, check and correct the bending angle, the Laser Check Data M is set to obtain, right from the first piece, minimum precision tolerances regardless of any changes in thickness, strength and rolling direction of the material. The measuring sensors are located in metal casings for protection against any possible damage. They are motorized, have a side parking area, and entirely managed from the CNC. As soon as the bending sequence starts, the measurement sensors automatically align themselves with the piece to be bent to measure the angle, which can also be carried out in several points and wireless pedalboard: extremely user-friendly for operators, as there are no connecting cables.

Vimercati also offers robotized systems solutions such as the one presented at the fair at its stand. AkuBend robotic cell represents the most suitable solution to make the bending operations dynamic and flexible. An efficient, precise robotized bending cell with maximum automation optimization in terms of production batches and kind of product.

Optimal for small batches and high variability, it is in fact possible to conciliate/gain with maximum simplicity an unattended automatic production with a production in manual mode of the press brake, through the automatic sliding of the press brake on the lateral rail system. In addition, the offline programming of the robot and press brake software eliminates the operator’s checking and reprogramming times, that will only take care of the loading and unloading operations.

Still on the subject of automation, Vimercati also offers the VSBVimercati Storage Bend solution which consists in the integration of the press brake with an automatic tool changer warehouse. The VSB solution makes bending process more versatile, faster, and more reliable. It eliminates the manual configuration of the machine and allows the operator to dedicate their own time and skills in preparing the bending batches. It is ideal for small, complex, and uneven batches where setup times impact the productivity of the press brake and the production cost.

Autonomous Guarding: Press brake automation takes another step forward.

Press brakes have seen significant advancements in automation as technologies such as automatic tool changing cells, automated material handling and robotic bending have becoming increasingly common over the last decade.

However, for the most part, press brakes are still manually operated machines that require trained and skilled operators to achieve safe, efficient, and productive bending. Aside from bending parts, press brake operators are required to manage the setup and configuration of the machine safety and guarding devices and systems. An incorrect, or poor setup can not only result in a potential reduction in safety function but can also lead to a significant reduction in machine efficiency that results to lower productivity.

A press brake with an automated safety and guarding solution eliminates the need for manual adjustments to be performed by the operator by automatically driving the optical

OF AUTONOMOUS GUARDING

components to the correct position, then automatically making any necessary adjustments based on the tooling that had been installed. In addition, secondary processes automatically check and confirm the positioning and setup, thereby ensuring that the machine is always safe to operate.

The team at Lazer Safe, who are the industry leading specialists in the field of press brake safety and guarding solutions, are improving the way in which machine operators interact with the press brake through more advanced levels of Autonomous Guarding technology. Lazer Safe is leading the industry in Autonomous Guarding and have defined five levels of automation ranging from Level 0 through to Level 4.

Press brakes designed to Level 0 essentially offer no automation, and therefore completely lack any automatic functions. The safety and guarding system and processes

that are integrated with the machine are purely manual and rely solely on the machine operator for any adjustment, setup, and alignment of the guarding system, plus safety performance testing and mode selection. This generally applies to press brakes that are designed and manufactured to achieve a lower cost or supplied into economy markets.

Level 1 progresses to low automation, where we start to see the introduction of press brakes with automatic functions such as automatic verification of the optical sensor position to the upper tool, verification of the tool height and material thickness, plus automatic guarding mode selection for each step in the bend program. This typically requires the press

brake manufacturer to adopt integrated functions where processes are embedded in the CNC system software to facilitate more streamlined and user-friendly operation.

Press brakes designed with Level 2 Autonomous Guarding take a larger step forward to where all the of the safety and guarding setup, adjustment and operating functions are now automated. This presents the ideal solution where the operator turns on the machine, installs the tooling and starts bending parts – all without have to setup, adjust, or check any of the safety and guarding functions, and provided that the bend program has been optimised, there is very little to no interference when forming parts.

Streamlined configuration and optimisation of the bend program can eliminate or drastically minimise interference with the sensing zone, which results in fewer pedal presses, no unnecessary stops in the bending cycle and significantly more time in high-speed, resulting in faster and more efficient production. The only part of this process that is not automated (at Level 2), is optimisation of the bend program, which requires a higher level of automation.

Press brake manufacturers are already offering machines designed with Level 2 Autonomous Guarding, which has been widely available for around the past 5 years, and this has already driven positive results for the sheet metal industry.

Optimisation of the safety and guarding functions within the bend program is a significant factor that determines the true productivity output of the machine. If the bend program is not optimised, or is poorly configured, then this can result in an increase in cycle times and therefore a reduction in the number of parts produced per hour.

Without optimisation, we see several factors that impact productivity since there is no synchronisation between the guarding system’s optical sensing zone and the part profile. The effects of this are amplified when bending more complex parts that comprise multiple steps with side flanges.

FEATURE ARTICLEAutonomouns Guarding

The lack of optimisation results in interference between the optical sensing zone and the work piece, that requires the operator to make additional pedal presses either before or during each cycle. In addition, there is often an increase in the slow speed travel distance before the upper tool reaches the material.

If the bend program is optimised, then the optical sensing zones are dynamically and automatically managed according to the part profile. Not only that, but the configuration of the bend program is optically verified against the physical part profile to ensure a higher level of safety. When starting a new job, the machine operator only needs to change the tools, start the bend program, then begin bending parts immediately. The addition of an Automatic Tool Changer in combination with Autonomous Guarding (Level 2 or above) eliminates another manual process and improves efficiency even further.

Currently with Level 2 automation, press brake operators and CNC programmers, are required to manually configure and optimise the safety and guarding functions in the bend program.

This process involves analysing the part profile as is changes from one program step to the next, then selecting the most efficient guarding mode, or combination of modes, as well as inputting the parts dimensions such as the height of side flanges. Provided that the bend program is optimised correctly, then maximum efficiency and production output can be achieved.

Feedback from the sheet metal industry consistently identifies a common issue with this optimisation process, is that press brake operators may not always receive the necessary information or training. This is compounded due to frequent turnover of machine operators, or when experienced operators leave, taking valuable knowledge and skills with them. Another issue is the general shortage of skilled sheet metal workers which continues to present a challenge for employers.

To address these issues, Lazer Safe has identified the next stage of automation, with a transition to Level 3 Autonomous Guarding. This represents a significant development in press brake efficiency and productivity that was previously not possible.

Level 3 automation introduces a new process where the safety and guarding system in collaboration with the CNC system, share information to automatically learn the part profile and determine the optimal modes and settings for each step of the bend program. This takes the manual process and decision making out of the operator’s hands, saving time, and ensuring that bend programs are always optimised for maximum bending efficiency.

The learning process is automatically activated when a new bend program is run for the first time, and active only when the first part is formed. As each bend is processed, part profiles are optically detected, and the CNC displays a message to the operator confirming the optimal mode and parameter settings that will be automatically applied to each step of the bend program. Once the first part is completed, the bend program is now optimised, and the settings are automatically saved in the CNC. All subsequent parts can then be formed with maximum efficiency. Since the bend program is now optimised and settings automatically saved, the learning process does not need to be repeated the next time the operator runs the same program.

Level 4 Autonomous Guarding takes optimisation a step further, where software analyses the bend program and part profile in 3D, then automatically determines and applies mode and parameter settings without the need for a learning cycle. Level 4 is a more advanced process that will evolve over time, as Lazer Safe continues to drive innovation for the press brake industry.

Users that currently own and operate press brakes with Level 2 Autonomous Guarding are already realising the benefits of reduced setup times, less reliance on machine operators, and improved machine efficiency. The transition to Level 3 Autonomous Guarding will offer users even greater levels of productivity.

Many of the industry’s leading press brake manufacturers are already in the process of implementing Level 3 Autonomous Guarding and Lazer Safe anticipates rapid market adoption of this technology over the coming months.

Aspir Mecc invests in Salvagnini Hybrid Press Brake Technology

Since 1985, Aspir Mecc has been designing, producing, and installing extraction systems for treating and purifying air of fumes, dust, solvents, vapors, odors, exhaust gases and bacteria – pretty much everything that harms the environment and human health. While keeping a craftsmanship’s imprint, the company from Castel Viscardo (Terni) has in any case become the benchmark for the wood and ceramics industries in Umbria, Tuscany, and Lazio, manufacturing tailor-made systems. We met with the owner Carlo Graziani and his son Marco to talk about their production cycle.

All the advantages of a simple press brake

With a staff of 9, including the owner, and a turnover that has grown over the years, Aspir Mecc works with small and medium businesses by supplying them with HVAC systems and a complete, customized service from design to installation and assistance. The company was founded in 1985 from an idea of Carlo Graziani, who having gained extensive experience in the plant engineering industry, decided to start his own entrepreneurial journey.

“When I met my wife, her parents were partners in a company that produced extraction systems,” Graziani explains. “Although I was from Orvieto, I worked in Bologna: I quit my job and returned to Orvieto to work with them, mainly in the sales department. After about a year and a half, the company closed, but I can’t deny that by then the sheet metal industry had won me over, and I developed the idea of setting up my own business. With a partner, we decided to invest in some machinery and rent an industrial building: and that’s how Aspir Mecc was born, in 1985.”

These were the years of the second Italian economic miracle, the era of success for small businesses that led the economic recovery.

“We invested immediately in customization, designing tailor-made systems,” the owner continues. “We built our niche in the world of wood processing machinery, for historical reasons more than anything: the company I used to work for built extraction systems for carpentry shops. We produced the components with a manual press brake, which we still have today, a welding machine and a secondhand shear. We invested firstly in a second-hand press brake, a tube bending machine, a clinching machine and then, in 1993, the industrial building.”

Without its own sales network, Aspir Mecc focuses essentially on the central Italian market, building strong relations with some technology retailers who work with the company to produce their extraction systems. But this doesn’t mean giving up completely on foreign markets.

“We have a major venture with a Swedish company that produces packaging machinery, which supplies its customers with bundles, including filters. We have installed a lot of systems for them, in Europe and beyond. But our market remains very much a local one: 80% of our systems are produced without a quote, as over time we have built loyal relations with our customers, they trust us.

This result probably depends on our approach too because we only accept orders if we are sure that we can guarantee the result,” Graziani adds.

Close attention is paid in particular to the design of each plant: Aspir Mecc receives the machine specifications and a draft system layout, and then calculates load losses, the required surface area, and the motor required. With Industry 4.0, technological requirements are increasing: some elements – an electrical control cabinet with certain characteristics, a fire door, a spark detector – have become decisive in guaranteeing safety. Dust is potentially explosive, and the level of system complexity and the required certifications inevitably depend on the final application. The level of customization also affects the batch sizes and the production strategy: 4/6 panels per filter, plus the top and bottom, produced in kits and often in batch ones. The item turnover rate is quite high, and consequently so is the machine re-tooling frequency.

Precisely to manage this variability in production, in 2020

Aspir Mecc had to invest again in technology, in order to replace a press brake. After a careful assessment, the Terni-based company chose a Salvagnini B3: a hybrid press brake, designed by combining the characteristics and benefits of the most common electrical and hydraulic solutions on the market. It has a maximum bending force of 135 tons and maximum bending length of 4250 mm, with 7 axes and 4 backgauges to ensure maximum flexibility in production. It is equipped with FACE, Salvagnini’s simple and intuitive new human-machine interface, which minimizes the operational complexity of the press brake. To meet the industry 4.0 paradigm, the B3 also has OPS, the modular software that optimizes the whole production process and monitors it by interacting with the company’s management software and ERP/MRPs.

“Salvagnini was quite a revelation for me,” Graziani tells. “We had an old press brake, with 4 axes and hydraulic crowning, made by a company that doesn’t exist anymore. Of course, we had heard of Salvagnini, but it was a brand we had never considered: we thought it was a premium manufacturer, and too expensive for our needs. We had already begun talks with several Italian firms, then Renato Segoloni – the Salvagnini sales agent in our area - came to visit us. A little against our will, we accepted an invitation to visit the Salvagnini Campus: it was a real turning point, and a visit I would recommend to anyone. They told us about the machinery and the software and were extremely competent. We were quickly convinced by the technical features of the B3 press brake. But we also visited the Salvagnini Robotica production site, and we spoke to the people working in the service department - that’s always been a bit of a fixation for me, something fundamental when choosing a machine tool. And Salvagnini also has the advantage of producing technology for practically all the sheet metal forming cycle: if we need a laser or a panel bender tomorrow, we know we can rely on them again. And this is also a huge advantage, because the technologies of the same manufacturer dialog better with each other, and the technicians find it easier to use the software and the HMI interfaces are very similar.”

For Aspir Mecc, choosing the B3 also meant opting for STREAMFORMER, Salvagnini’s proprietary CAM. STREAMFORMER is part of STREAM, the programming suite for managing all activities in the office and on the factory floor, a single point of access for all technologies, from cutting to bending, meeting all planning, programming, production, management, control, and optimization needs throughout the production process.

“Today we program everything in the office,” says Marco Graziani, Carlo’s son and the second generation in the company. “Our process starts with a 2D drawing. Having analyzed it, STREAMFORMER automatically proposes the ideal bending sequence. It’s a really useful support, especially for more complex parts, and of course in any case I can change the sequence if I need to. A side effect of programming in office is that it also helps to reduce the tool set-up time: we already know which punch we need, where it has to be positioned, we have no doubts over the process and so we avoid mistakes and wasted time. This approach certainly helps operators with less experience. But generally, it’s really simple to switch from the office to the workshop: the press brake is really precise, intuitive and high-performing. With the HMI interface, all the commands are available in just a few clicks.”

“At first, we imagined that we would have some waste, but we’ve never thrown even one piece away. This means that the software is intuitive, and those who use it can easily see how to use it in the best way. Every afternoon we also program the work for the next morning; the operators find the cut materials and the bending program in the machine. And we have an archive of completed programs, which is really useful if we need to repeat the production in future. At Salvagnini, I saw something that helps our evolution, our future. I was really impressed with the reliability of the company, it’s something I recognize in us. And the installation confirmed this impression: it was completely managed by in-house staff, which is a further guarantee. And the sales philosophy is very similar to mine: it was a transparent, honest process focusing on my needs and not on the desire to maximize profits. This is the same approach I use with our customers. I didn’t just buy a product, I bought a relationship with a reliable supplier,” Graziani concludes.

Powerful, automated, and sustainable: TRUMPF launches new bending machine for XXL parts

With an 880-millimeter open height and a stroke of 700 millimetres, the TruBend 8000 bending machine offers a superbly efficient way to bend very large parts, allowing workers to easily bend and remove workpieces that require a large box height. It also provides numerous optional extras designed to facilitate the bending of heavy parts. These include a bending aid that makes operators’ lives easier by automatically positioning the workpiece for bending. This series of machines can also be equipped with a special tool clamp for XXL parts. “The new TruBend Series 8000 is the perfect addition to our portfolio of bending solutions. Whatever their bending application, companies can rely on TRUMPF to have the technology they need – from entrylevel machines to fully automated solutions for oversize formats,” says product manager Deborah Lidauer.

THE BEST WAY TO BEND HIGH-TENSILE STEELS

With a press force of 400 metric tons, the first in this new generation of machines is an efficient powerhouse that has no trouble processing short, thick pieces of sheet metal. But thanks to its generous 4.40-meter bending length, it is equally at home with longer, thinner parts. The machine is also suitable for bending high- tensile materials such as Hardox or Weldox engineering steels. Station bending is another option available with the TruBend 8000. By moving workpieces from one station to the next, each equipped with different upper and lower tools, workers can tackle a range of parts and bending operations without having to change the machine setup for each operation.

This makes the TruBend 8000 particularly suitable for companies that bend large parts in small batches, including fabricators in the vehicle manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and building-services sectors. This model is also a great choice for general-purpose work in job shops.

AUTOMATION AND SUSTAINABILITY

Its numerous automation functions make the TruBend 8000 a suitable candidate for use in a smart factory. The most advanced version includes features for fully automated operation provided by TRUMPF partner Starmatik. These include a six-axis industrial robot that handles loading and unloading. Moreover, the use of a robot allows downstream processing steps to be integrated in the automation system, such as forming, joining, and welding. The TruBend Series 8000 also comes with TRUMPF’s triedand-tested Boost and TecZone Bend bending software for offline programming. The machine operator simply uploads a 2D or 3D model of their part into the program. The software then independently creates a 3D simulation including collision monitoring, which the operator can then adopt for the bending process, either in its entirety or with minor manual changes. TruBend 8000 machines are also designed to facilitate the trend toward greater sustainability in manufacturing. Users can choose to equip their machine with an on-demand drive, which automatically adjusts the motor’s revolution speed to the movement of the press beam. As well as limiting noise generation, this feature can also reduce energy consumption by up to 26 percent.

TRUMPF laser-blanking system cuts costs and saves 4000 metric tons of CO2 a year

It is an attractive option for any company interested in flexible, high-volume solutions for sheet metal fabrication, including automotive suppliers and automakers, electrical cabinet manufacturers, elevator producers and HVAC manufacturers. “The TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition is another example of TRUMPF helping its customers to join the drive toward greater sustainability in the manufacturing industry while simultaneously boosting efficiency. Compared to conventional laser-cutting machines, the solution allows companies to save almost 1,700 metric tons of steel a year, which equates to a saving of some 4,000 metric tons of CO2 and a reduction in material costs of 1.6 million euros,” says Richard Bannmüller, CEO at TRUMPF Laser Technology Germany.

IMPRESSIVE FLEXIBILITY EXTENDS TO VOLUME PRODUCTION

Thanks to TRUMPF’s new laser-blanking system, companies can enjoy the benefits of laser processing even in high-volume production environments. “Volume manufacturers often use presses for blanking operations. But that means they need to adjust or even replace the tool whenever they make the slightest modification to their components, which ultimately costs time and money. Many industrial sectors are seeing significant reductions in the scale of individual production runs, which makes these modifications even more costly and time intensive.

The TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition can process up to 25 metric tons of coiled sheet metal from start to finish without any human intervention.

The laser allows users to carry out these modifications without requiring a new tool, so it’s much, easier, faster, cheaper, and more flexible,” says project manager Oliver Müllerschön, who is responsible for the new system at TRUMPF. The high-tech company developed the new system in cooperation with SIEMENS and mechanical engineering company ARKU. Together with TRUMPF, Siemens is responsible for the control system and ARKU for the coil system. The fischer group in Achern is one of the first companies to put the new solution into practice. “Deploying a laser-blanking line is a new approach for us. It offers huge benefits to our production process, partly due to its high flexibility and quality, but also thanks to the fact that we require hardly any tools compared to conventional blanking presses,” says Hans-Peter Fischer, CEO and owner of the fischer group.

The company is an early adopter of TRUMPF’s laser-blanking system, which it uses to produce high-strength aluminium structural components for vehicle-body manufacturing.

MATERIAL SAVINGS FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

Coil production enables users to achieve more efficient nesting of parts. Conventional sheets are limited by their four outer edges, which often make it difficult for production workers to make full use of the entire sheet. Unused sections of the sheet either have to be discarded as scrap or melted down. A coil, which can be up to 1.5 kilometres long, solves this problem by allowing users to nest an almost endless number of parts on the sheet. This reduces material consumption by around 15 percent. Compared to conventional blanking presses, the new system also heralds a significant reduction in construction and logistics costs.

It makes production more profitable by eliminating tooling costs, optimizing the use of material, reducing assembly costs and boosting flexibility in the production environment.

The material flow is different to that of conventional 2D laser machines, leading to much lower cycle times and new automation opportunities for high-volume production series. The system can be flexibly adapted to any contours. It is designed for thin-sheet processing and can handle sheet thicknesses of up to 6.5 millimetres.

AUTOMATION REDUCES CYCLE TIMES

The production system is fully automated. An innovative system for transporting the sheet metal during cutting keeps the material moving quickly through the whole process, with impressive gains in productivity. The new system also uses many of the tried-and-tested features that TRUMPF is renowned for. These include Smart Collision Prevention, which prevents cut parts from tilting and damaging the laser cutting head. The entire line – from the coil stock to the pallets of finished parts – can be conveniently monitored and controlled from a single operator module. The points at which parts are removed and stored are automatically programmed and displayed on the screen, for example, and the portable operator module can be used at any of the key points in the system for set-up and servicing tasks.

ROBOT MAKES UNLOADING EASIER

A robot is used to unload the entire system to ensure fast and reliable part removal. TRUMPF’s TruTops software, which will be merged into Oseon in the future, calculates the input data for ready-made cycles or part programs that run on the Sinumerik.

This means users do not have to worry about the specific robot movements or how these are programmed, so the robot can be handled without any specialist expertise or prior training.

TRUMPF collaborated with Siemens on the control unit for the unloading system, which consists of a support conveyor and a robot. This makes use of the new Sinumerik One CNC control software, which is fully integrated in the TIA Portal. The TIA Portal forms the hub of an end-to-end digital engineering process. The data from the TIA Portal can be fed into Create MyVirtual Machine to create the digital twin of the automation. This digital representation of the control unit, machine behaviour and kinematics enables virtual testing and commissioning of the system directly within the TIA Portal.

SHORTER TIME TO MARKET, BETTER PERFORMANCE

“The Sinumerik One lies at the heart of efforts to globally transform the machine-tool industry and to future-proof manufacturing in an increasingly digitalized sector. Thanks to the seamless interaction between the virtual and real portfolios, the Sinumerik One enables machine makers such as TRUMPF to significantly reduce time to market while offering users the benefits of improved machine performance,” says Uwe Ruttkamp, head of Machine Tool Systems at SIEMENS. The loading module was developed by ARKU, a global market and innovation leader for roller levellers. It can accommodate coils up to 2,150 millimetres wide and accepts a variety of materials. The system is already available for purchase.

From small, light tonnage models right through to large machines with very high pressing force.

BENEFITS

• All-round versatility. Machines are available in a wide range of lengths and tonnages.

• Hydraulic systems can achieve a much higher pressing force compared with hybrid and electric machines.

• A greater range of material thicknesses can be processed, from light gauge material to heavy plate metal.

• Manufacturers offer greater flexibility and customisation including larger tool openings and throat depths.

• Long-term durability, reliability and ease of servicing.

Hybrid Press Brakes

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Incredibly versatile and suitable for almost any bending application.

• Suitable for low tonnage applications right through to high tonnage applications in excess of 4,000 tons.

• Suitable for a wider range of bending lengths up to around 14 metres.

Hybrid press brakes combine both hydraulic and electric elements, achieving a more energy efficient drive system with improved performance.

Hybrid press brakes use a bi-directional servo electric drive system to pump oil to the hydraulic cylinders. Compared with a traditional hydraulic system where the pump is running continuously, even when the machine is idle, a hybrid system is only working when motion is required. This means that hybrid systems consume very little energy when idle and are more energy efficient when working.

Hybrid systems use a smaller hydraulic oil tank, leading to a more efficient design and lower maintenance costs when an oil change is required.

When it comes to noise output, hybrid systems are quieter than hydraulic machines due to the lower sound levels of the servo electric drives compared with traditional hydraulic pump motors and that they are only running while the machine is being operated.

BENEFITS

• Lower energy consumption since the pump is only running when the machine is moving and when bending force is required.

• Improved control and bending accuracy.

• Faster acceleration and deceleration which results in shorter cycle times.

• Lower noise levels.

• Use less oil than hydraulic machines.

• Economical to maintain.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Suitable for a wide range of bending applications that require pressing force up to around 500 tons.

• Suit a range of bending lengths up to around 7 metres.

• Ideal for high-volume production where speed, accuracy and efficiency are required.

Electric Press Brakes

Electric press brakes eliminate the need for hydraulic pumps, valves and complex piping, for an extremely quiet, fast and efficient bending solution. Electric machines can feature a variety of drive methods including belt or gear direct drive systems and belt / pulley systems for even distribution of pressing force on longer machines.

Smaller models are ergonomically designed with integrated foot pedals and folding support tables that allow workers to comfortably operate the machine from a seated position as well as offering a range of additional features that help to reduce operator fatigue.

BENEFITS

• Extremely quiet.

• Low energy consumption.

• Ergonomically designed for optimal comfort and reduced operator fatigue.

• Smaller models can be portable, offering greater flexibility for machine placement in the workshop.

• Consistent operation and accuracy over time since there is no degradation of hydraulic components.

• Require minimal maintenance compared with hydraulic and hybrid machines since there are no hydraulic components to service or oil changes required.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Electric machines are ideal for repetitive bending of small parts where fast cycle speed and accuracy is required.

• Suitable for low tonnage bending applications of up to around 200 tons.

• Suitable for bending lengths up to around 4 metres.
