■ Up to 35 % energy savings.
■ Up to 70 % less hydraulic oil usage.
■ Rolling speeds of up to 10m / min.
■ Noise reduction of up to 15dB.
“ Lower energy usage means lower operating costs— ideal for multi-shift or high-volume operations seeking sustainable productivity. More output, fewer resources. Save energy. Roll strong,” it added.
EyeBend and AP – Adaptive Power
Integrated into the Faccin plate roll, EyeBend is a laser-based radius measurement system designed to redefine plate rolling accuracy.
“ Fully CNC-integrated, it measures, visualises and self-corrects the radius profile in real time throughout the forming cycle. The machine has an extra eye. It measures, adjusts and makes no errors. It is, in effect, a‘ Thinking Eye’,” explained Faccin Group. Faccin AP – Adaptive Power is an intelligent hydraulic system that manages oil flow control in real time. Developed in collaboration with HAWE Italia, this solution responds to the need for smart control and maximum uptime. Using PSL load-sensing proportional valves, it dynamically adapts oil flow based upon real-time needs.
“ Effectively, it offers smarter energy use, mitigates wear and facilitates continuous operation” confirmed Faccin Group.

Ergonomic CNC console
“ Our redesigned ergonomic CNC console features a lightweight wireless control unit that acts as a fully functional extension of the main interface. Operators can manage the rolling process from anywhere— without repositioning the console,” outlined the manufacturer.
Faccin Group will also be introducing it new CNC software interface combining elegant visuals and smarter workflows with precision.
“ From electric drive systems to realtime laser control and intuitive user interfaces, we are redefining the plate rolling experience. See innovation in action with live demonstrations on our stand at Blechexpo 2025( hall 1, stand 1113),” it concluded. n

PRODUCT REVIEWS
AutoForm Assembly 13 for Body in White
AutoForm Engineering GmbH, a supplier of software solutions for stamping and BiW( Body in White) assembly processes, has unveiled its latest software version, AutoForm Assembly R13.
“ This version introduces new features and enhancements for the BiW assembly process chain, focusing on greater simulation accuracy, advanced modelling of joining processes and hemming, and improved dimensional accuracy. It also features reduced file sizes, enabling significantly smaller simulation files without compromising results or influencing engineering decisions,” said AutoForm.
“ AutoForm Assembly R13 offers new features and options for assembly process engineering. Users can significantly reduce the time and effort required to pre-assemble groups of parts in the early stages of process engineering, without having to simulate the full assembly process. This is particularly beneficial for preliminary qualitative analyses or in those cases when users are considering subassemblies from suppliers or other departments without a detailed process description,” it added.
The latest release offers enhancements for modelling of joining processes and hemming. It has an improved thermal model for line joins, designed to account for the thermally induced deformations that occur during welding processes. The software features an improved mesh refinement for roller hemming, particularly beneficial for advanced processes such as rope hemming. This new option improves numerical precision and stability in the critical areas of the hemming process by performing mesh refinements earlier in the simulation sequence. This capability, said AutoForm, is essential“ for increased accuracy of rope hemming simulation results.”
“ AutoForm Assembly R13 enhances dimensional accuracy with a newly developed algorithm that ensures the best dimensional fit to the reference geometry. This is especially beneficial in cases involving large deviations, such as those caused by shimming or thermal effects during line welding. The software also provides benefits for users working with scanned data in assembly simulations. Parts are often scanned under conditions that differ from those during the assembly process. The new measurement compensation feature enables users to account for differences between scanned and assembly conditions, ensuring that scanned data can always be accurately integrated into subsequent assembly simulations,” explained AutoForm. n
