LVD Showcases Productivity Solutions for Smart Manufacturing

LVD Company nv highlights productivity solutions for smart manufacturing at EuroBLECH. On display is 20 kW laser cutting, bending automation, folding and software technology, including a new low-cost fiber laser, high-tonnage Easy-Form press brake, Easy-Cell robotic bending cell, fully-automatic panel bender, and the latest in CADMAN® software.

Cost-Efficient 2D and Bevel Cutting

LVD will unveil a new laser cutting machine offering low investment and operating costs. An ultra-practical machine, it provides reliable cutting minus costly extra features. The new laser is available in three configurations to meet price/performance needs and thus deliver the lowest cost per part manufacturing. It can be equipped with a MOVit Load-Assist automation system.

LVD will demonstrate the diversity of its laser cutting technology using a LaserCube. This compact system will feature high-power 20kW cutting, bevel cutting at a maximum bevel angle of 50 degrees, mixed gas cutting, and 19” Touch-L control. It will showcase smart cutting with optimized sheet utilization, nano joints, micro welding, remnant creation, collision avoidance.

Heavy-Duty Bending with Quality Assurance

The Easy-Form 9 400/40 press brake will be the largest, hightonnage press brake LVD has ever exhibited at EuroBLECH. The 400-ton machine is floor mounted, no foundation required. It features a 6-axis modular backgauge for high application versatility and a total of 10 axis for precise bending of large and long parts. A built-in Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending system guarantees repeatable accuracy for quality assurance.

Highly Flexible Robotic Bending Cell

Easy-Cell 80/25 combines an EasyForm 80-ton press brake with Kuka industrial robot to automate bending of parts from 100 x 100mm up to 1600 x 1200mm weighing up to 25kg. The press brake features a 2500mm bend length, five-axis backgauge, and 2500mm crowning table, providing the flexibility to accommodate a wide scope of applications. Easy-Cell features an adaptive bending system which ensures bend angle accuracy from the first part. LVD CADMAN® software provides fast, simple offline programming of both press brake and robot.

The new laser cutting machine is available in three configurations to meet price/ performance needs and thus deliver the lowest cost per part manufacturing.

Fully-Automatic Panel Bender

LVD’s Multifold 2111 panel bender will demonstrate fully automatic loading, folding, and stacking of workpieces up to a maximum bend length of 2100mm in material thicknesses up to 2mm cold rolled steel with bend heights up to 110mm. A flexible and time-efficient alternative to die bending for many applications, Multifold requires only one set of tooling – a universal set of servo-operated upand-down folding blades – to produce numerous profiles and various types of bends.

Software for Process Flow

The latest software releases will be demonstrated, including CADMAN®FLOW. CADMAN-Flow introduces a new generation of CADMAN, offering improved process overview, smarter tool optimization, easy ERP connection, and faster, more efficient bend solutions. CADMAN-FLOW improves the speed and flexibility of the process flow from a 3D file to machine code to final product, offering significant gains in productivity.
