- Flexible bending characteristics:
Intelligent flexible bending machine accurately realizes the perfect matching of all axes of the equipment with concurrent linkage, and the program programming is faster and easier.Configurable step-by-step bending, three-dimensional programming, off-line control, automatic robot work, integrated servo pump system, overall efficiency is higher. Easily realize complex sheet metal bending requirements such as circular arc, pressed dead edge, return shape, closed shape, and so on.
- Difficulties in processing in the traditional way:
The biggest difference between single-sided bending machine and multilateral flexible bending machine is the different production efficiency. A time to form a multilateral flexible bending and single-sided bending requires workers to adjust a direction after bending, the efficiency of the two is even different.
- Advantages of flexible bending centers:
The biggest advantage of flexible bending centers for one-time forming is increased productivity. Since single-sided bending machines need to manually adjust the direction and then bend, a lot of working time is wasted.The bending speed of the flexible bending center is 3 times faster than that of the CNC bending machine, reaching 0.5 s/time, and the full servo control can make the product precision control within 3 seconds, which greatly improves the production efficiency.
- Realize fully automatic, rapid production:
Flexible use of lap joints, no need to weld splicing; suitable for small batch and multi-species production. Multilateral flexible bending machine can be used in new energy, home appliances, electric power, western kitchen, elevator, communication, network computer cabinet, medical machinery, fashionable home, sheet metal processing, etc..
5.Bending speed：
Intelligent flexible bending center bending process is fully automated as fast as 0.2 seconds / knife, greatly reducing the cycle time of the multilateral and multi-channel bending, is more than 3 times the speed of the traditional CNC bending machine, the more bending edges and the more complex the work piece, the greater the speed advantage.Traditional CNC bending machines require skilled workers to hold the work piece for positioning and bending, and each bend needs to be reposition, which is less efficient.
6.Manual technical requirements:
Flexible bending center for workers with low technical requirements, ordinary workers can be trained to work, without the need to hire experienced skilled workers, while the bending process is fully automated, greatly saving labor, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers.
7.safety:
Intelligent flexible bending center does not need to manually hold the work piece, the bending process is completely automated, which greatly reduces the potential safety hazards brought about by workers due to faulty operation.
- Ease of use:
Intelligent flexible bending center using graphical visual programming, workers only need to enter bending data according to the work piece, the system automatically generates bending instructions, without the use of code programming, ordinary workers can master 2 hours. Traditional CNC bending centers require workers to master complex programming skills, and in the bending process to memorize the bending order of each fold, difficult, high error rate.
- Coherence:
Intelligent flexible bending center can realize automatic positioning of plates, with high system positioning accuracy, higher consistency of molded products and more suitable for batch production.Traditional CNC bending center precision positioning is not high, will be due to multiple positioning and dimensional errors.
10. Automation:
Intelligent flexible bending center has reserved abundant interfaces, which is convenient for docking upstream and downstream production lines. It can be connected to the robotic arm to realize the automatic integrated loading and unloading. With self-driven robotic arm and intelligent flexible bending center with the same control system, synergistic efficiency; replacement of work pieces do not need to maintain two sets of programs, just change the bending center program, automatic generation of robotic arm program, higher flexibility.
11.Summary:
Intelligent flexible bending centers are gradually surpassing ordinary bending machines for a variety of reasons. It not only has significant advantages in the technical level, but also to better meet market demand, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. This change is not only the inevitable result of technological development, but also a reflection of market demand and changes in the production environment.In the future, with the continuous development of the manufacturing industry and the continuous progress of technology, the application range of intelligent flexible bending center will be further expanded. At the same time, this will also promote the entire manufacturing industry to a more efficient, intelligent and green direction.Can smoothly upgrade the speed; work piece fast forming and high consistency; low power consumption; daily maintenance is simple, low cost; high degree of automation, simple operation, low labor requirements; no need to make molds, complex shapes (right-angled or non-right-angled upward or downward folding, etc.). Can be designed at will and produced at any time; wide range of materials, mainly stainless steel, cold rolled sheet, aluminum;Compatible with a variety of loading and unloading methods: manual loading and unloading, truss robot loading and unloading, robotic arm loading and unloading optional; bending center with a wealth of hardware and software interfaces, can be connected to the market’s conventional robotic arm. Specific selection can be based on the actual needs of the demand side. The control system realizes nine-axis (11-axis) concurrent linkage in the real sense, with smooth bending motion and high coordination of mechanical operation; the intelligent bending center has a bias load detection system, bias load follower system, and a thick plate detection system, which effectively protects the machine and the work pieces, and reduces the waste of the work pieces; the cloud operation and management system can real-time monitor the operation of the machine; the human-computer interface is friendly and easy to understand, and the programming is flexible; for the non-standard size work pieces, it can be customized according to the work pieces’ size. For non-standard size work pieces, different positioning standards can be selected according to the shape of the work pieces, and the shearing error of the plate is controlled at the edge of the bending to ensure the dimensional accuracy after molding.
