BENDAPTIVE

The fields of bending application are many as bending sheet metal, even more so with the use of a press brake, is one of the best and cheapest ways to run prototypes and batches even in very small series.
Today companies are called to respond to the modern challenge of finding efficient and flexible configurations and processes in order to follow up on the latest demands of the industrial world.

Our systems have been designed to guarantee productivity performance on large batches but at the same time, thanks to the easy programming due to offline systems, a high-performance tracking system and automatic press tooling, they allow the necessary flexibility to justify its use even on small batches, guaranteeing enviable accuracy to the most experienced bender!

FOCUS POINTS

DYNAMIC TRACKING SYSTEM
Bending represents the most intense of all processes as the material undergoes large deformations in confined areas. What follows is that the stress to which the sheet is subjected is very high. Under these conditions all material and environmental variables play an extremely important role on the achievement and repeatability of the exact dimensions of the pieces. Through the adoption of a dynamic tracking system, the software can ensure the integrity of the machined piece through the synchronization of robot and machine during the bending process.

THICKNESS CONTROL
Our solutions have been designed to last over time and reduce maintenance and spare parts costs.
All the proposals are equipped, for example, with a contactless laser thickness control device.
This technology allows to perform measurements externally in applications where the surface is sensitive and delicate, limiting wear over time.

REA ACADEMY CLASSES
It is often believed that the adoption of a robotic bending system involves a difficult and laborious programming of the system; this obstacle has been overcome thanks to offline programming systems. Our experts have calculated that a technician, who already knows the bending process, is able to operate the system at 70% of its capacity one week after the conclusion of the training course carried out at our REA Academy!

OFFLINE PROGRAMMING
Flexibility on production batches, thanks to offline programming. When it is necessary to work on a new item, simply prepare the new program from the office, without stopping the current production, and test / refine it directly on the cell, cella, significantly reducing plant downtime.
