panel benders and Robotic System
Panel bending machine with robot and set up
The panel bender is a machine that operates similarly to a press brake but offers greater automation and enhanced features. In the past, manual bending machines were the standard for metal bending, but advancements in technology have ushered in an era of automated sheet metal forming.
Bending processes can be categorized into manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic bending centers. Features like automatic tool changers and measuring systems can significantly boost the efficiency of metal bending. The introduction of the panel bender, which shares functionalities with traditional press brakes, marks a notable advancement in this field.
Manual panel benders are simple and cost-effective but require skilled operators, making them less suited for large-scale production. In contrast, semi-automatic panel benders combine manual and automated features, reducing the need for constant operator input.
The panel bender’s blade can create flanges in a horizontal direction, while a blank holder stabilizes the material from the other side. Standard bending blades can produce various radii, and the bending process leaves no marks on the material.
Unlike the workpieces produced by press brakes, those created by panel benders are often more aesthetically pleasing and cleaner. Additionally, panel benders are advantageous as they save labor and operate at higher speeds compared to traditional press brakes.
