FOCUS ON BENDING
Mate bending tools .
specials and accessories manufactured from premium alloy tool steels .
CleanBend™ forming technology for press brakes is designed for high-quality 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 pressbrake forming holder . Users can produce electrical knockouts , louvers , lance and forms , embosses and stencils on a press brake .
Special application solutions are designed to accomplish complex sheet geometry with maximum efficiency . Mate special applications are available to suit European Precision and Wila TRUMPF press environments .
Murata Machinery ( Muratec ) was established in 1935 . In 1989 , Muratec merged with Wiedemann . Press brakes include its 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 . It offers a range of press brakes such as the B100-3100 iBend hydraulic bending system and D320-4100 press brake , its H135- 3100 ( hydraulic and electric ) model and the electric E100-3100 iBend press brake . The iBend comes in the A , B , C and D series . The iBend servo press brake comes in the E and S series .
Olma Srl ’ s Allbend is a flexible bending centre with an innovative sheet metal bending method inspired 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 offers a comprehensive range of bending solutions from panel benders to press brakes and robotic bending cells . It has used a servo-electric drive system on the eP-Series press brake : a rapid , non-hydraulic bending solution . Prima Power hP-Series is its hydraulic press brake model for the high-tonnage market . It combines energysaving and sustainability in its ECO package and features an Adaptive Crowning and Reflex system . The hP can be connected in tandem or integrated into automated lines or robotic cells . The eP Genius is a servo-electric bending solution with rapid and automatic tool-change storage .
The eP Genius 1030 system features an automatic tool changer operated by an integrated robot . This robot manages tool logistics from storage to the press , ensuring that the right tools are always in place without human intervention and streamlining the workflow .
At Blechexpo 2023 , Prima Power showcased a manufacturing line including a combined punching and laser cutting machine ( Combi Genius ); a loading , unloading and stacking robot ( LSR ); a servo-electric pressbrake ( eP Genius 1030 ) with integrated toolchange storage ; and a seven-axis industrial robot .
PROfirst CAD / CAM software includes the 3D-Unfolder module for sheet metal parts processes 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
The MVD iBend press brake . bending , even for smaller batch orders ,” it told ISMR .
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 die of variable " V ", is a tool on the press brake bench that varies the openings of the die through the CNC or through a manual system .
Rolla-V supplies a comprehensive range of press brake tools , as well as the patented Rolla-V .
SafanDarley launched its new H-iBrake hydraulic press brake , as well as several new robotic and software innovations , at Blechexpo / Schweisstec in Stuttgart last November . The new H-iBrake is a range of intelligent hydraulic press brakes with an accent on energy efficiency . It also presented its fully in-house-developed software platform , ASC-Control . Together with AutoPOL and RoboBend ( offline software ), ASC-Control enables SafanDarley to offer a total package for all automated solutions .
Also on display at Stuttgart was its intelligent lights-out factory solution : E-Brake Mini Cell , working with Kumatech ’ s Pallet Jack ( AGV ). Machines from its standard product range , such as H-Brake Hybrid 110T and the E-Brake 130T Ultra , equipped with an intelligent bending aid ( the I-Mate ), were also showcased . Last year , the Dutch manufacturer celebrated its 90th anniversary with customers , partners and employees .
Other automated bending systems include the R-Brake 130T ; the new Robo Mate ; the Tool Mate and the Mini-Cell .
As a world premiere at Blechexpo in November 2023 ( at Stuttgart , Germany ),
