FOCUS ON BENDING featuring augmented reality , are also offered .
Innovations in its automation technologies include BB + ATC , an automatic tool replacement solution that allows tools to be replaced automatically . The company also offers its PF / PH TANDEM press brake solution . ADIRA joined Sonae Capital in 2017 , reinforcing its offer of services , automation and solutions , investing in digital transformation and restructuring .
The AMADA range of pressbrakes covers stand-alone bending machines to complex robotic cells . Its product range includes pressbrakes with different ranges of technologies , sizes and levels of automation . The Japanese bending specialist has a large stand-alone range of press brakes ; the HG Series ( hybrid bending ) HRB ; HFE-M2 ( hydraulic ); HFE-3i ( hydraulic machine with 3D control ); and EG-4010 Series ( eco-friendly electric press brake ).
The AMADA HRB series combines a new frame design with the recognised features of the HFE3i series . To further increase productivity , these bending machines are equipped with the latest AMNC 3i multitouch-screen interface with Lite mode . It also features AMADA ’ s new automatic crowning device .
AMADA also offers three press brake models with ATC ( automatic tool change ) capability : EGB-ATCe ; HRB-ATC and HG-ATC .
“ Set-up is done automatically by the machine , reducing set-up times , eliminating the operator hard work and the risk of errors . Our bending machines with Automatic Tool Changer ( ATC ) are the ideal solution for small , variable batch sizes and complex tool layouts requiring frequent resetting ,” said AMADA .
It also offers several automated bending robot cells for automatic 24 / 7 production . These include the RBR Retrofittable Bending
ADIRA ’ s PF / PH TANDEM press brake solution .
Robot solution ( with HB press brake ) which is available in several sizes and can be combined with a 50kg or 200kg robot payload . The HRB 100 and 220 tonnes are also available with the ATC unit , the device capable of automatically changing AFH-ATC tools .
Customisation has become a key requirement for press-brake customers to produce components with different shapes , sizes and features with no need for redesign and set-up time
Other automated bending cells include the HG-Ars ( for small to medium parts : the EG-AR ( for small parts ) and the HG-Rm ( for medium to large parts ).
As part of its recently released mid-term and long-term business plans , the AMADA Group is launching AMADA Service Europe as a separate company .
Robotic bending from AMADA .
The auto-crowning device , to improve the longitudinal accuracy , and the bending indicator Bi-S , for in-cycle angle adjustment , complete the range of options for fully automatic production .
With its Blank-to-Bend concept , AMADA linked punching and cutting systems plus automatic press brakes via a warehouse storage system to form a highly automated end-to-end solution . Product Designer software can unfold 3D sheet metal models and automatically apply unfolding data and feature recognition ready for manufacture .
On 3 February 2023 , AMADA opened the “ Amada Global Innovation Centre ” (“ AGIC ”) at the company ’ s head office in Isehara City , Kanagawa Prefecture , Japan .
Turkish manufacturer , Baykal Machinery , is a sheet-metal processing machine manufacturer . The company specialises in the production of press brakes ; shears ; lasercutting systems , tube cutting and plasmacutting machines .
Its bending range includes the APHE hydraulic ; the APHS ; the APHS Pro and the APHS Hybrid press brakes . It has pioneered development of a fully automatic pole cutting and bending machine and , for its manufacturing operations , utilises three factories which together combine a production area of 70,000 square metres , making it one of Europe ’ s largest facilities for sheet metalworking and fabricating machinery .
At Blechexpo in Stuttgart ( Germany ) in late 2023 , it exhibited its hybrid and CNC hydraulic press brakes , shears and laser cutting machines , as well as launching the APHS PRO INVERTER machine .
