Robotic bending cell makes unmanned kit and batch-one press brake production a reality

July 18, 2019 - The 2019 Roboformer is an amalgam of Salvagnini technologies that forms a single, cohesive bending unit that automatically synchronizes  all movements of press brake, robot arm and automatic handling devices directly from solid models, making production lean, flexible, predictable, and cost effective. Like earlier generations:

• all activities of RoboFormer are managed with a single program

• programming is completed in less than one-third the time of competitive brands, off-line, and without interrupting active production.

• it is never necessary to “teach” robots.

• RoboFormer is an Industry 4.0 bending cell that accommodates remote monitoring via computer, smart phone, or other digital device

• one shop floor supervisor can oversee the operation of up to 5 Robofromer units.

The core of a Roboformer bending cell is the Salvagnini B3-ATA press brake that automatically adjusts the length of its upper universal bending tools, lower V-dies and back gauges in-cycle, to achieve setups in near-zero time. MAC 2.0 adaptive technology provides bending repeatability, precision and scrap reduction, while the B3’s Angle Measurement System monitors and corrects bend angles on the fly. The result is an unmanned bending system that yields precise parts in the shortest possible time in kit, batch or one-off production for a lean, profitable operation.

This 3rd generation Roboformer is designed for companies that work with small, often varied batches and are seeking ways to improve their quality, competitiveness and time-to-market. Roboformer is an ideal solution for companies just beginning to automate their shops, as well as those with long histories of high efficiency and lean manufacturing practices.
