Technology RapidBend Turbo charge your press brake. RapidBend technology is available in three performance levels - RapidBend, RapidBend Plus and RapidBend Ultimate to boost machine performance and significantly enhance your productivity.

RapidBend Ultimate 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. 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 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.

RapidBend Ultimate technology is available on selected models from these manufacturers:

BendVision Real-time bending analysis - unlimited possibilities. What is BendVision? BendVision is an advanced high-speed image processing technology that provides real-time analysis of the bending process. The technology is incorporated into the existing hardware of the press brake optical guarding system so no extra components are required, resulting in an efficient and cost effective solution. What does BendVision do? BendVision processes images of the press brake tools and material during the bending process and transfers a range of information to the CNC via SmartLink, including raw and processed images, material bend velocity and live angle data. Press brakes equipped with BendVision can make use of this real-time data to provide users with a wide range of customised functions. BendVision for angle measurement BendVision technology provides a range of angle measurement data that includes the inside and outside angles of the material, average angle, material warp angle from machine deflection, material spring back angles for various material types, thickness and grain direction, plus end of relaxation angle once the bend has been completed. BendVision for angle control The ability for the CNC to receive BendVision angle data opens up a wide range of possibilities for real-time angle control. Instead of just confirming angles are within tolerance, the CNC can use the live angle plus a measured spring back angle to control the bending depth for flexible active and dynamic angle control solutions. Find out more The features and functions that are available with BendVision equipped press brakes will differ and are unique to each press brake make and model. Contact our Partners for more information and to learn how BendVision technology can improve your production efficiency, speed and accuracy.

Technology BendShield Protecting your productivity, not just your operators. BendShield is a dynamic sensing technology that provides an advanced level of optical tool protection for press brake operators by enveloping the punch tip with a protective field that has no gaps while maintaining high speed operation. With an object detection resolution of 2mm, BendShield detects even the smallest obstruction from any angle. Press brakes with BendShield technology are not only the safest but also the most productive with guaranteed levels of safety and high-speed performance. Automatic Tool Alignment BendShield automatically scans the upper tool to determine the tool profile then dynamically adjusts the protective zone relative to the tool tip. Special Tools Detection BendShield also works with a variety of upper tool profiles from V shaped punches to radius and flattening tools. The optical technology adapts to the tool profile to provide an optimal level of protection for machine operators. Dynamic Sensing Technology BendShield adapts to accommodate various part profiles from flat parts to box shaped parts with single and double sides flanges as well as back-gauge fingers for short bend cycles. Multiple segments within the protective zone are automatically and dynamically blanked on each bending cycle to maintain high-speed machine operation with optimal protection and minimal interruptions. Advanced tool collision protection BendShield not only protects machine operators, but protects against high-speed tool collisions. If operators accidentally install or program an incorrect tool, BendShield protects your tooling investment by avoiding high-speed collisions that could lead to tool damage.

FlexSpeed Streamlined, responsive and efficient machine control. FlexSpeed safety control with high speed processing technology provides the platform for more efficient machine operation and superior performance. Traditional press brake designs employ a combination of hardware and software safety processing. This inefficient process slows down overall response and reaction times and when coupled with optical protection systems leads to a reduction in machine performance by forcing the machine to operate at reduced closing speed in order to improve stopping performance and increasing slow speed travel prior to bending. Machines with FlexSpeed technology operate with maximum efficiency and productivity with no restriction on operating speed or performance.

ToolCell automated tool changing press brake maximizes bending productivity through an integrated storage of tooling, housed within the machine. The patented EasyForm® Laser adaptive bending system provides in-process angle monitoring, which guarantees the desired angle from the first bending operation.

LVD showcases Industry 4.0-ready products designed to help fabricators advance their business, including the DynaCell robotic bending cell now featuring LVD’s patented EasyForm® Laser adaptive bending system and revolutionary programming wizard, as well as the ToolCell automated tool changing press brake. Dyna-Cell combines the high-speed Dyna-Press Pro electric press brake and a Kuka robot to automate the bending of small- to medium-sized parts in varying batch sizes at speeds up to 25mm per second. The Dyna-Press Pro is now available with LVD’s exclusive Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending system to ensure bending accuracy. Dyna-Cell is equipped with an intelligent programming wizard, revolutionary because CAM program preparation is handled completely offline with no need to physically teach the robot. This eliminates considerable downtime and ensures that the bending process is continuous and uninterrupted. After importing the 3D-drawing, the software automatically generates the bending and robotics program. The software calculates an optimum collision-free path, including all gripper positions. Families of parts have been defined for easy programming, such as multi flange, brackets and profiles. LVD’s 10-10 rule delivers on the promise of a fast “art to part” process with 10 minutes for CAM generation of the bending and robot program and 10 minutes for set-up and first part generation. Dyna-Cell is designed to work in either automated bending mode or as a stand-alone press brake when the application does not warrant automation. This makes Dyna-Cell versatile and economical for a wide scope of bending operations. A patent-pending universal gripper handles a wide diversity of parts, eliminating the need for different-sized grippers and reducing part regripping and changeover time. LVD’s universal gripper accommodates part sizes from 30 mm x 100 mm up to 350 mm x 500 mm and manages parts as heavy as 3 kg. Dyna-Cell is a compact bending cell with a footprint of only 5 m x 5 m.

Hall 3, Stand 3504 Making its world premiere at Blechexpo will be Prima Power’s new bending solution, the eP Genius 1030, consisting in the integration of a servo-electric press brake eP-1030 with an automatic tool change storage. The highly dynamic, accurate, and reliable servo-electric technology, granting constant performance over time thanks to the absence of hydraulic oil, combines with the benefits of a fast and dynamic automatic tool change system. The result is a more versatile, faster and more reliable bending system, which eliminates the manual set-up of the machine and allows the operator to commit his time and skills to the preparation of the bending batches. This solution is specially fit for minimum batches, where it is possible to reliably estimate the machine set-up, and short cycle times become imperative to gain a higher market competitiveness.

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE

The eP Genius press brake has 15 axes and a maximum tool capacity up to 32 metres. The eP-1030 press brake included in the solution is the most versatile machine in the eP servoelectric range, a perfect combination of tonnage and work capacity (105 tons with a bending length of 3060 mm), automatic CNC crowning, 5-axis back gauge and IRIS Plus angle control system on CNC-controlled motorized arms. The tool storage, which is the main innovation of this product, can accommodate a total of 32 metres of tools to be placed on 8 tool holder supports that move on 3 axes. It allows to handle tools (Wila style) with a minimum length of 20 mm up to 515 mm. Furthermore, a rotating turret rotates the tools taken from the storage to grant multiple processing possibilities. The latestgen user interface allows the programming of the piece in a simple and intuitive way, both on the machine and off-line, as well as the automatic management of the machine set-up.

Hall 1, Stand 1608 Of all the main sheet metal processing technologies, the press brake is probably the least evolved and integrated in the smart factory context, requiring a strong operator presence and interaction. Precisely to meet the need to integrate the press brake into the production process, mitigating the difficulties in sourcing qualified machine operators, Salvagnini has focused on automation: the result of this work is the B3.AU-TO press brake, equipped with the new automatic tool change, the concrete expression of a new concept of automated, scalable press brake. “First and foremost, we simplified the use of the machine,” explains Giulio Farina, CEO of Salvagnini Robotica, “and we made sure it could communicate its own data to the other machines and corporate management systems. The aim is to make bending an operation that is less influenced

by process variables and, as a result, provides greater certainties, in terms of processing times as well as costs and budgets. The MAC2.0 guarantees greater stability to the process, simultaneously reducing the cycle times: via a single laser detection, the press brake adapts to any variations in the material which, when necessary, are automatically compensated for.” The new AU-TO automatic tool change concludes a path began with the ATA automatic tool adjuster, and allows Salvagnini to significantly reduce the variability which has always defined conventional bending, redefining the concept of time linked to the press brake: whatever the material, thickness and shape of the part being machined, each specific tooling always has a sure, repeatable and predictable duration. But AU-TO also allows Salvagnini to create a modular concept of automation, scalable to meet the customer’s needs, maximizing the flexibility and autonomy of the press brake, allowing it to adapt to tooling needs and manage tools according to what is being produced. “It’s not a simple automatic re-tooling,” Farina continues, “but a more evolved concept: we provide the customer with different levels of automation. The first level is represented by the ATA device, which is used to change and automatically adjust the upper bending tool length, saving time and increasing production efficiency. The second level involves the extension of the ATA.L device to lower tools; this is the ideal solution for kit productions, allowing parts with different thicknesses to be bent in sequence. The third level is the MVM option, the variable opening die alternative to the ATA.L: it automatically adapts the V opening according to the program and is used to bend materials with different thicknesses and radii. No operator intervention is required to set up the dies, to the full benefit of the productivity and flexibility of the press brake. At the trade fair, Salvagnini is presenting the AU-TO tool change, the fourth and most advanced level, which does not exclude the features of the ATA device: it reduces set-up times and increases B3 press brake availability, allowing the user to create the automation best suited to his own manufacturing reality, automatically tooling the machine with the best possible strategies for his own production flow.”

Instead of equipping the machine with just one central hydraulic cylinder, the new design features one cylinder on the left, and one on the right. That increases axis velocity, and boosts the machine’s productivity. The on-demand servo drive also saves energy by only running the motor when the machine actually needs it. For the first time, TRUMPF has also included the option of equipping the panel bender with a loading and unloading station.

At the Blechexpo in Stuttgart, TRUMPF demonstrates its broad portfolio in the field of bending. Visitors can experience TruBend Series 7000 and TruBend Series 5000 machines live in action. In addition, the company is presenting two machines virtually: the TruBend Series 8000 in a tandem version and the TruBend Center 7030 panel bending machine. The TruBend Series 7000 bends small and medium parts extremely fast. The series consists of two models: The TruBend 7036 with a press force of 36 tons and the TruBend 7050 with a press force of 50 tons. A six-axes backgauge helps the operator position components with remarkable precision. A new control panel simplifies programming on the shop floor. The streamlined views present just the essentials so users can quickly find the right screen for entering data. The machine may be fitted with another screen alongside this panel on the press beam, for example, to display part diagrams. The operator has another quick-and-easy option for sending simple commands to the machine - the MobileControl module. This little control unit may be mounted on a rail above the tools. A sit-stand stool, a table to support the arms, a shelf for documents and a footrest keeps the operator comfortable and minimizes fatigue. The TruBend 7036 and TruBend 7050 come with a right-hand cabinet to store tools right there on the machine. At Blechexpo TRUMPF is also showing the productive bending machine TruBend 5130 with the latest-generation ToolMaster. The ToolMaster boosts productivity by automatically switching between bending tools. The new generation ToolMaster can accommodate three times the tool metres as the previous model and changes a tool in just a few seconds. Well protected against corrosion, an average of up to 85 metres of bending tools await their use. Users can insert both standard tools as well as ACB sensor tools and customer-specific special tools. What’s more, tool changes are even faster with the new ToolMaster thanks to a 50 percent boost in speed over the previous model.

Automating the tool change process. As the manufacturing industry is becoming more competitive than ever, fabrication workshops continue to seek ways to improve production speed and efficiency. While modern press brakes operate at higher speeds and with greater efficiency and accuracy over machines from a decade ago, bottlenecks in tooling setup and configuration continue to hamper machine output and productivity. For many facilities that change tooling setups several times each day, a significant amount of production time can potentially be lost between bending jobs due to the time it can take for machine operators to manually unload press brake tooling, locate and load the next set of tools, plus configure tool placement and alignment in the machine before the next job can commence. In addition, there is the potential risk of injury for operators manually handling heavy tools as well as the risk of damaging expensive tooling through mishandling or an incorrect setup. The amount of time required for each manual tool changeover can vary greatly based on several factors that include the experience and speed of the machine operator, the amount of tooling to be removed and loaded, returning tools to storage, locating and

loading the next set of tools and the complexity of the new tooling setup. Effective tool storage and management creates challenges for most workshops. Quite often, production delays can occur through the additional time required to locate the tooling for a bend job. In many cases, press brake punches and dies are stored on shelves or racking in the workshop and shared amongst two or more machines. An efficient production facility relies on diligent operators to manually manage the storage and placement of tools; however, this is not always the case. Just consider how much production time is currently being lost as machine operators spend time searching for tools or maybe just trying to locate one final piece to complete a setup. Or perhaps the required tooling is

already in use on another machine. For facilities that process many different parts each day and on tight production schedules, having all the tools available and readily accessible for each machine is essential. Press brake manufacturers are addressing these issues with intelligent mechanical systems that completely automate the tool change process. Automatic Tool Changer (or ATC) press brakes are making machine setup and tool changeover faster, more reliable and a lot more efficient compared to a manual tool change process. These systems also free up time for operators to perform other tasks or get material blanks ready for bending so production can start as soon as the tool change process is complete. Offered as an option from the press brake manufacturer, an ATC is either incorporated into the design of the machine or as a separate integrated module. While designs and functionality vary and are unique to individual manufacturers, ATC press brakes generally comprise the same basic elements. This begins with a tool storage area, either contained within the machine footprint or attached externally, a motorised system that transfers the tools between the storage area and the machine tool holders and finally, a mechanism that sets the position and spacing of the tools along the length of the machine. PRESS BRAKE BUYERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GUIDE

The automatic tool change process is managed by the CNC system in conjunction with the bend program. The ATC first removes any punches and dies that are not needed for the next setup and returns them to the storage area. The ATC then identifies the next set of tools that are defined in the bend program and retrieves the required punches and dies from the storage area and inserts them into the tool holders, which would generally encompass a hydraulic or pneumatic tool clamping system. The horizontal placement of the punches and dies along the length of the machine is adjusted, including any necessary spacing between tools that is needed for part production such as box bending, where the correct tool gaps are required to accommodate part side flanges.

TRUMPF ToolMaster

Also, in cases where multi-stage bending is required, these intelligent systems can effectively manage complex setups and with different tool profiles.

In the first stage, there are two independent tool transfer arms - one for the punches and one for the dies. Each transfer arm comprises a multiaxis system that moves vertically and horizontally to access the multiple racks and shelves and a tool gripper that pulls the tools out from each shelf.

TRUMPF, LVD, Prima Power, Salvagnini and Warcom are among several press brake manufacturers that have developed their own unique solutions to automate and streamline the tool change process.

TRUMPF ToolMaster boosts productivity by automatically switching between bending tools. The new generation ToolMaster can accommodate three times the tool metres as the previous model and changes a tool in just a few seconds. Users can insert both standard tools as well as ACB sensor tools and customer-specific special tools. On the end of the tool cabinet, a multi-shelf racking system stores the punches and dies with a storage capacity of around 85 metres of tools (depending on the selected tooling) that are well protected against corrosion. TRUMPF has developed a unique three stage solution that achieves optimal efficiency for faster tool changes.

rotate in the opposite direction so that goose neck tools can be loaded in the inverted position. In the final stage, two separate shuttles are used to load the punches and dies into position along the press brake. Another interesting feature of the ToolMaster is the ability to easily load additional punches and dies into tool storage. The operator manually inserts the new tools into the upper and lower tool holders, then using a 2D handheld scanner, scans the Data Matrix Code codes that are printed on the front of the tools. After scanning and confirming the entry at the machine control, the ToolMaster automatically transfers the tools to the storage cabinet. >>

Once the tools are removed from the shelf, the transfer arms load the tools into two separate upper and lower turntables. Each turntable independently rotates 90 degrees, so that the tools are aligned with the press brake upper and lower tool holders. The upper turntable can also

Salvagnini B3.AU-TO The Salvagnini B3.AU-TO press brake stores the punches and dies in a covered tool magazine that is located within the rear of the press brake and can stock up to 24 metres of tooling. The patented AU-TO system allows the transfer of tools between the tool magazine and the tool holders. Once the tools are in place, the B3 uses two additional levels of automation using the ATA and ATA.L devices to adjust the upper and lower tool length and spacing. The ATA (Automatic Tool Adjuster) device is used to change and automatically adjust the upper bending tool length, saving time and increasing

production efficiency. Changeover is fast, taking just a few seconds, and programming is simple and intuitive. The ATA.L device, for the lower tools, is the ideal solution for kit production, as it allows parts of different thicknesses to be bent in sequence.

LVD ToolCell LVD prides itself on remaining close to customers and the challenges of modern-day manufacturing. In the last 10 to15 years they have seen a dramatic drive towards a ‘Small batch – Short Lead time’ culture. In addition, many manufacturers are reducing stock levels (for better use of working capital) and putting pressure on the

supply chain. So, for LVD there was a clear need for a dramatic increase in throughput when processing small batches of parts. In response to these manufacturing challenges, LVD was an early adopter of an Automatic Tool Change process with the introduction of their ToolCell press brake and was the first manufacturer to integrate tool storage within the existing machine footprint. ToolCell ends the search for tooling with unique stadium style storage of top and bottom tooling that is located under the machine’s back-gauge, taking advantage of the available space. The tooling stadium holds up to two complete lengths of punches and five complete lengths of dies for flexibility and space-saving all in one compact design. The ToolCell tool storage system offers a flexible tooling configuration to suit specific application requirements.

Prima Power eP Genius

Warcom BEND-MASTER

Making its world premiere at Blechexpo will be Prima Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new bending solution, the eP Genius 1030, consisting in the integration of a servoelectric press brake eP-1030 with an automatic tool change storage.

Italian press brake manufacturer Warcom has developed the BENDMASTER automatic tool change system to complement its entire bending system for greater flexibility, speed and reliability.

The tool storage, which is the main innovation of this product, can accommodate a total of 32 metres of tools to be placed on 8 tool holder supports that move on 3 axes. It allows to handle tools (Wila style) with a minimum length of 20 mm up to 515 mm. Furthermore, a rotating turret rotates the tools taken from the storage to grant multiple processing possibilities. The latest-gen user interface allows the programming of the piece in a simple and intuitive way, both on the machine and off-line, as well as the automatic management of the machine set-up.

BEND-MASTER features a six-axis drive system that includes a dual axis racking system, single axis rotary bridge and a three-axis loading and unloading shuttle. The tool storage room includes the option of 32 metres or 52 metres of tooling capacity that can accommodate a range of selected PROMECAM and WILA punches and dies. The storage room can be installed on either the left or right side of the press brake and comprises a series of racks and drawers that hold up to 4.5 metres of tooling per rack. Optionally, two press brakes can be served by the same BEND-MASTER.

During automatic tool change, the rack that contains the tooling defined in the bend program is moved to the front of the storage room. The shuttle shifts across to the storage room and slides out the required punch or die and moves the tool to the correct location in the upper or lower tool holders. While this is happening, the storage room moves the tool rack up and down or brings forward another tool rack, so that the next punch or die is ready for loading. This saves time since the shuttle is never sitting idle while waiting for the next tool to be ready for collection. When a punch needs to be installed in an inverted position (for example an inverted goose neck tool), the system employs a rotary bridge that sits in between the tool racks and the machine bed. The shuttle slides the punch from the tooling rack across to the rotary bridge and the rotary bridge turns the punch 180 degrees so that it faces the opposite direction. The shuttle then continues to slide the punch into position on the press brake.

PRESS BRAKE BUYERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GUIDE

Automated workflow Automated workflow also plays a significant part in streamlining production processes with networked machines that are more effectively managed from the office to further eliminate operator intervention in the workshop. A complete working shift of scheduled bend programs and tooling setups can be remotely transferred to the machine in advance so the next automatic tool change can commence as soon as the current job is finished.

Press brake users are also looking to automatic tool change as a solution for reducing operator fatigue and improving safety to minimise the risk of both short and long-term injuries. Many machines use heavy sections of tooling that require manual lifting by the operator or the use of lifting aids such as hoists to transfer tools to and from the machine. Injuries can result from lifting strain or the tools being dropped and there are possible longterm health implications from repeated

lifting of heavy tooling over the course of many years. Thanks to these modern automation systems, tool setups are becoming faster, safer and far more efficient. ATC press brakes are an ideal solution for managing multiple daily tool changes, complex punch and die setups and the effective storage and protection of tooling.

LVD, Salvagnini, Prima Power and TRUMPF will be exhibiting their ATC solutions at Blechexpo 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany from November 5-8. pressbrakebuyersguide.com

TRUMPF presents new solutions Heinz-Jürgen Prokop: “Digital connectivity also provides a way of improving the efficiency of upstream and downstream processes in sheet metal fabrication”. TRUMPF will be presenting a range of new smart factory solutions at Blechexpo, which is set to take place in Stuttgart this November. The company will be taking the opportunity offered by the international trade fair for sheet metal working to show how digital connected applications can help improve how production is organized and reduce costs.

“We make highly productive machines. Yet only 20 percent of the cost of completing a job is incurred during the actual machining stage on the system itself. Using our connected products and services, customers can now boost the efficiency of the production processes in sheet metal fabrication that occur upstream and downstream from the machine,” says Heinz-Jürgen Prokop, Chief Executive Officer Machine Tools at TRUMPF. These upstream and downstream stages are where 80 percent of the job is processed. At Blechexpo, TRUMPF will be showing how solutions such as its factory design services can reduce the time and resources required to complete a job by up to 50 percent.

TRUMPF’s factory design service helps reduce the use of time and resources by up to 50 percent. 28

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WE ARE THE FASTEST BENDER IN THE BUSINESS.

MADE IN ITALY BOOK A TEST

Code word: automating bending Studio 54 has been working in the field of professional refrigeration since 1994, supplying a wide range of products that guarantee top efficiency and reliability. Upright cabinets, counters and tables, chill blasters, display units and walls, as well as minibars and hot display cabinets, meet every organizational need for food preparation, conservation and display for the Ho.Re.Ca and retail (supermarket) sectors. In addition to its standard product range, which is appreciated for the quality of the materials used and its typically Italian contemporary design, Studio 54 also produces highly customized and tailored products to meet its clients’ specific needs. “The company was founded with limited financial resources,” says Marco Bruseghin, Chairman of the Studio 54 BoD, “but with great passion, that of myself and my partners. Ours is a success story: today Studio 54 has 52 employees, 18 of which are office workers and 34 production staff; we produce around 7000 parts a year, with a turnover of around 15 million EUR, and we work in a global market: around 40% of our turnover comes from Italy, 50% from the rest of Europe, and 10% from Russia, the Arab countries, the United States, Canada and Australia. Obviously we aim to expand and penetrate new markets.”

A modern workshop Since 2015, having reached financial stability and set aside the necessary resources, to improve its efficiency, Studio 54 has progressively renewed its machinery fleet, investing in advanced production equipment. The green light for this authentic revolution was given by the optical fiber laser cutting machine, which guarantees huge benefits in machining stainless steel. And after carefully scouting the market, Studio 54 opted for a Salvagnini L5 high-dynamic fiber laser, with 3000x1500 work range and 2 kW source, connected to an ADLL automatic loading/unloading system and an MCL automatic sorting device, able to work unmanned. The results have been more than satisfactory: handling after cutting has become much simpler and safer to manage, and today the L5 system runs for around 20 hours a day.

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE

“The possibility of nesting standard steel sheets means that we can combine different parts and make use of the scrap which would otherwise be thrown away” Bruseghin explains. “Obviously we couldn’t have done this with either the punching machine or the shear, but with the laser we have reduced scrap by over 15%.” Having improved productivity with the laser system, the time had come to overcome the bottleneck in the bending department, which couldn’t keep up with the L5 production rate. For this reason, in 2017, Studio 54 purchased a P4-2116 panel bender: a versatile, flexible and highly productive solution offering automatic set-up in masked time and which, with its universal bending tools from 0.4 to 3.2 mm, requires no re-tooling. And which benefits from the effectiveness of the HPT for manually loading and unloading sheet metal and bent parts. “The panel bender guarantees excellent results, even on stainless steel,” Bruseghin continues. “Stainless steel is a complex material, and with a conventional press brake it can easily be scratched and even dented. Thanks to the controlled tool movements, bending with a panel bender avoids these imperfections: our quality has increased exponentially, not to mention the speed: with the panel bender we produce much more than we did previously with 3 conventional press brakes run by 3 operators. And also in terms of cost per part produced, we have recorded significant advantages.” >>

pressbrakebuyersguide.com

Marco Bruseghin, Chairman of the Studio 54 BoD

The Salvagnini B3 press brake, in the version equipped with ATA, was the right machine for our production needs.

Code word: automating bending

Automating bending “There was just one more step to take to completely renew our technological fleet: investing in bending,” Bruseghin explains. “We immediately realized that the Salvagnini B3 press brake, in the version equipped with ATA, was the right machine for our production needs and our logic: this machine masks the set-up times, because when the operator calls up the code of a program, the machine sets up automatically with no risk of error.” The press brake chosen by Studio 54 is a 3-metre B3, with 135 ton maximum bending force equipped with ATA, the automatic set-up device used to automatically change and adjust the upper and lower bending tool length, recovering production time and efficiency. Contributing significantly to reducing the variability that has always marked conventional bending, the ATA redefines the concept of time linked to the press brake: whatever the material, thickness and shape of the part being machined, each specific set-up has a certain, repeatable and foreseeable duration. The tool change is fast, the programming simple and user-friendly.

“With the ATA, we are able to avoid set-ups for both the upper and lower tools,” Bruseghin continues. “We work with very thin thicknesses, between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, all similar which are all managed with the same set of tools: we never change the punches and dies, we start bending straight away. Eliminating down times for tool changes and measurements, by automating all these activities with the ATA, offers huge advantages. In terms of output, I can say that in an 8-hour shift we have gained at least 40% in terms of productivity. Of course the press brake has to be programmed, but the operator doesn’t have to do it himself: the programmer who creates all the nests for the laser also creates the panel bender programs, and now the press brake programs too, so this clearly has advantages in terms of speed.”

An eye on the results “We obtained very many results and advantages with these investments,” Bruseghin concludes. “Undoubtedly today we are much more versatile, we can produce any part practically in real time. We are much faster because the machinery is fast and integrated, perfectly suited for lean production and able to minimize set-ups and down times. And we have reduced our cost/piece ratio, thus gaining in competitiveness.”

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE

Press Brake Catalogue When deciding to purchase a new press brake, there are many factors to consider. One important factor is selecting the type of machine drive system that will suit your production requirements, purchasing budget and running costs. In our catalogue section we outline the three types of drive systems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hydraulic, hybrid and electric â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as the benefits of each system and typical applications. Each section within the catalogue presents a list of press brake models and specifications from our manufacturing partners. We recommend that you consult the press brake manufacturer or your machinery dealer for more information prior to making any purchasing decision.

pressbrakebuyersguide.com

Drive System Overview Hydraulic Press Brakes Standard hydraulic designs have been the primary type of drive system for press brakes for decades. While there have been more advanced hybrid and electric systems developed over the years, hydraulic press brakes still account for the majority of machines manufactured today due to their reliability, versatility and flexibility. From small, light tonnage models right through to large machines with very high pressing force. BENEFITS

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

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

• Incredibly versatile and suitable for almost any bending application.

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

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

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

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

• Manufacturers offer greater flexibility and customisation including larger tool openings and throat depths. • Long-term durability, reliability and ease of servicing.

Hybrid Press Brakes 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

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

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

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

• Improved control and bending accuracy.

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

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

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

• Lower noise levels. • Use less oil than hydraulic machines. • Economical to maintain.

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE

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

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Extremely quiet.

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

• 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.

• Suitable for low tonnage bending applications of up to around 200 tons. • Suitable for bending lengths up to around 4 metres.

• 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.

Speed and efficiency The Dyna-Press electric ram offers a smooth transition from approach to working speed and minimizes power consumption through the use of an optimal power to inertia motor ratio. The coupling between the ram and the servomotors is made using two heavy-duty ball screws to distribute force and tonnage evenly across the working length. As a result, the press brake provides fast, energy-efficient operation across a range of bending jobs. www.lvdgroup.com
