FOCUS ON BENDING

speed bending of small to medium-sized parts . The company also produces its PPEB Series hydraulic press brakes with two- , five- or sixaxis back gauge and the PPEB-H press brake for heavy-duty bending .
“ Our Easy-Form series press brakes ( in bending capacities from 90 to 700 tons ) are equipped with the Easy-Form ® Laser in-process angle monitoring and correction system . Synchro-Form is our next leap in adaptive bending technology and a new solution for large-profile bending ,” it explained .
At EuroBLECH 2022 , LVD showed two automated bending cells ( Dyna-Cell and Ulti- Form ) on its booth and highlighted its Synchro- Form bending system .
Mate Precision Technologies ’ CleanBend™ forming technology for press brakes is designed for sheet-metal forming . Using rotating supports , the process mimics a folding operation with minimal to no marking of the sheet metal . Its Ultraform PBT™ press brake forming adapter combines Mate ’ s Ultraform ® thick turret forming system with its new universal press brake forming holder . Users can produce electrical knockouts , louvers , lance and forms , embosses and stencils on a press brake .
Mate ’ s press brake tooling also includes a full array of European Precision and WILA TRUMPF-style punches , dies , standard specials , “ Bevel Tang Style ” press brake tooling , specials and accessories , all available in segmented , full-length and half-length sizes .
Mate Precision Technologies now offers modified standard and custom press brake tools that supplement its extensive range of standard hardened and precision ground press brake tools ( PBT ). Standard , modified and custom tool styles in North America are available in American Precision Style , European Precision Style and WILA TRUMPF Style .
Murata Machinery ( Muratec ) was established in 1935 . In 1989 , Muratec merged with Wiedemann . Press brakes include its
Mate bending tools .
BH dual drive and BB screw press brake with Videre operator support system .
Turkish manufacturer , MVD Makina Saniya AS , has manufactured press brakes , shears , punch machines and laser machines since 1950 . The company has showcased new features and options on its iBend press brakes . Its iBend C series of press brakes can configure up to a maximum of 12 axes , has large throat depth and stroke , a heightadjustable control panel and automatic heightadjusted front support system .
At EuroBLECH 2022 , it showcased its iBend hydraulic press brakes B100-3100 and D320-4100 with new design , its servo belt press brake E100-3100 and hybrid press brake H135-3100 .
Olma Srl ’ s Allbend is a flexible bending centre with an innovative sheet-metal bending method driven by programming simplicity , ease of operation , reduced energy consumption and low environmental impact .
Parma Stamp Srl has manufactured special and standard tools for sheet-metal bending since 1974 . Tools for press brakes are designed according to customer specifications .
Prima Power has applied a servo-electric drive system on the eP-Series press brake : a fast , accurate , non-hydraulic bending solution . Prima Power hP-Series is its hydraulic pressbrake model for the high-tonnage market . It combines energy-saving and sustainability in its ECO package . It features an Adaptive Crowning and Reflex system . The hP can be connected in tandem or integrated into
Prima Power ’ s eP Genius 1030 flexible , automated bending solution . automated lines or robotic cells .
At EuroBLECH 2022 , Prima Power presented its eP Genius 1030 flexible , automated bending solution , which integrates an eP-1030 servo-electric press brake with an automatic tool storage unit . Features include its 105-ton capacity , 3,060mm bending length , automatic CNC crowning , five-axis back gauge and the IRIS Plus angle control system on CNC - controlled motorised arms . The tool magazine houses 32 metres of tools on eight tool holders that move on three axes . A turret also allows the tools to be rotated , increasing the machine flexibility . The latest generation user interface allows intuitive programming , both on the machine and off-line , as well as automatic management of the machine set-up .
The robotic bending solution offered by Prima Power allows a high level of integration and automation for programming ( offline CAM ), connection to ERP production management and planning , as well as feedback and reports in line with Industry 4.0 .
PROfirst CAD / CAM software includes the 3D-Unfolder module for sheet metal parts and processed components with improved tool-based adjustment of the bending factor . It is much faster as the assembly-analyser recognises identical parts . A new web calculation module enables customers to determine the prices for their DXF / DWG / STEP sheet metal parts online .
RoboBend in Denmark has introduced its mobile robot cell for sheet metal bending .
“ It ’ s compatible with existing press brakes on the market and has easy-to-use software that ensures high capacity and high-quality bending , even for smaller batch orders ,” it told ISMR .
Rolleri tooling .
Rolleri SpA has produced a “ ROL200 ” clamp for press brake tool punches . The patented system enables pneumatic or manual vertical clamping for punches . Its QuickLock- System , compatible with Rolleri tools Type R2 and its ROL200 compatible with Rolleri tools type R1 , have been developed and manufactured in its production facilities . Its Vario , the patented variable ‘ V ’ die , is a tool on the press brake bench that varies the openings of the die through the CNC or through a manual system . The family-owned company ( Francesco and Marco Rolleri ) is one of the largest press-brake tooling manufacturers in Europe .
