Easy-Cell robotised bending cellBelgium-based
LVD Company will be highlighting ‘productivity solutions for smart manufacturing’ at
EuroBLECH, which takes place 22-25 October in Hanover (Hall 12, Stand F104). Included in the line-up will be a 20kW laser cutting, bending automation, folding and software technology, a new low-cost fibre laser, a high-tonnage Easy-Form press brake, an Easy-Cell robotic bending cell, a fully-automatic panel bender, and the latest in CADMAN software (Hall 12, Stand F104).
In the spotlight will be a new laser cutting machine designed to offer low investment and operating costs. It is available in three configurations to meet specific price/performance needs and thus deliver the lowest-cost-per-part manufacturing. Moreover, it can be equipped with a ‘MOVit Load-Assist’ automation system.
LVD will also be demonstrating the breadth of its laser cutting technology using a LaserCube, a compact system that will feature 20kW cutting, bevel cutting at a maximum bevel angle of 50deg, mixed gas cutting, and a 19in Touch-L control. It will demonstrate smart cutting with optimised sheet utilisation, nano joints, micro welding, remnant creation, and collision avoidance.
Meanwhile, the Easy-Form 9 400/40 press brake will be the largest, high-tonnage press brake LVD has ever exhibited at a
EuroBLECH. The 400-tonne machine, which is floor mounted and has no specific foundation requirements, features a six-axis modular backgauge and a total of 10 axes for ‘the precise bending of large and long parts’. Moreover, an integral Easy-Form Laser adaptive bending system ensures repeatable accuracy.
The Easy-Cell 80/25 being demonstrated combines an Easy-Form 80-tonne press brake with a Kuka industrial robot to automate the bending of parts from 100 ¥ 100mm up to 1,600 ¥ 1,200mm and weighing up to 25kg. The press brake features a 2,500mm bend length, a five-axis backgauge, a 2,500mm crowning table, and an adaptive bending system that ensures bend angle accuracy from the first part. LVD CADMAN software provides fast and simple offline programming of both the press brake and robot.
Also being shown will be an LVD’s Multifold 2111 panel bender. This will demonstrate fully automatic loading, folding, and stacking of workpieces up to a maximum bend length of 2,100mm in material thicknesses up to 2mm (cold-rolled steel) with bend heights up to 110mm. Multifold requires only one set of tooling to produce numerous profiles and various types of bends.
The latest software releases will also be demonstrated. These will include CADMAN-Flow, which offers improved process overview, smarter tool optimisation, easy ERP connection, and faster, more efficient bend solutions.
