At Blechexpo 2025,
The Multi Cell.
SafanDarley will present its new Multi Cell automated solution, a compact, versatile addition to its bending automation range.
“ Designed for midsized products of up to 500 x 2000mm and press forces from 40 to 125 tons, this flexible system enables the efficient bending of a wide variety of products within a minimal footprint,” it told ISMR.
“ Also on display will be the E-Brake 130T, a stand-alone electric press brake equipped with two intelligent bending aids( I-Mate) to boost overall productivity and reduce the need for a second operator when handling larger sheet metal parts. Key to their performance are advanced software tools: AutoPol, E-Control, RoboBend and ASC-Control. Combined with high-end pressbrakes, they help manufacturers to tackle today’ s key challenges, from labour shortages and rising wages to increasing material costs,” it added.

The highlight of Schröder Group’ s Blechexpo presentation is the MAK 4 Evolution UD for fully automatic folding of up to 6mm-thick sheets. To reduce set-up times, it is equipped with automatic tool changers for the clamping beam and folding beam.
With the up-and-down folding beam and a pneumatic rotating plate with suction cups, workpieces can be completed automatically after single positioning of the sheet metal.
The PowerBend Multi 4000 × 2.0mm features a back gauge that can be set at an angle to enable tapered bending. This means that profiles can be manufactured that fit precisely into one another.
“ The rotating clamping beam not only offers flexibility, but also an extremely practical hemming function. Hemmed folds can be produced completely in
The MAK 4 Evolution UD with Advanced Handling System. one step with the folding beam. This function is now also available on another machine on display at the trade show: the PowerBend Professional,” it told ISMR.

From 21-24 October
The Flexible Smart Job Shop( FSJ).
2025, Salvagnini will be at Blechexpo / Schweisstec, in Stuttgart( Germany), highlighting its strategy focusing on innovation, flexibility and sustainability.
“ The entire Salvagnini range of machinery, automation and software is designed to maximize productivity, improve the quality of the finished product and reduce errors and consumption. One of our aims is to become a strategic partner, helping companies to overcome labour shortages and meet the growing demand for tailored production and small batches,” it told ISMR.
To implement this vision, Salvagnini offers an advanced version of the smart factory designed to“ respond to the sector’ s most urgent challenges while increasing the competitive performance of job shops.” The Flexible Smart Job Shop( FSJ) on display at its stand is a combination of stand-alone machines that process sheet metal autonomously or in cooperative mode, integrated by software, artificial intelligence and vision( AI) solutions, robotics and automation.

SPI GmbH www. spi. de
SPI SheetMetal Solutions helps sheet metal fabricators and sheet metal service providers to achieve an integrated process chain from the idea to the finished product.
“ Our flagship SheetMetal software enhances the functionality of leading CAD applications with specialised sheet metal commands and calculations, significantly reducing design errors and accelerating fabrication timelines. The SPI unfolding algorithm guarantees production-ready flat patterns for complex geometries including multi-body parts, assemblies and free-form or curved surfaces. Seamless CAD-to-CAM connectivity is achieved through dedicated machine interface add-ons, while the SheetMetal Calculator add-on provides integrated cost calculation,” it said.
The latest addition to the SPI software portfolio is the Unfold Engine: a tool which fully automates the unfolding of sheet metal parts and assemblies, for seamless transfer of all productionrelevant data. SPI GmbH has been developing specialised software solutions for the sheet metal industry since 1980. The North German specialist is a development partner of SolidWorks, Autodesk and TRUMPF.
