Protective enclosure
The bending cell is fully enclosed by a robust metal mesh safety fence that surrounds the machine on all sides. This protective enclosure prevents unauthorized access to the working area, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures safe operation without affecting process visibility.
Automatic gripper exchange
The automatic gripper change system enables fast and safe tool exchange without operator intervention. This solution minimizes downtime between processes, increases production flexibility, and allows easy adaptation to different part geometries and sizes within the same working cell.
Custom grippers
Custom-designed grippers are developed specifically according to the geometry and requirements of each part. This solution ensures secure and precise gripping throughout the entire process, optimizing repeatability and reducing errors.
Bending software
Advanced software ensures synchronization between the robot and the bending machine. It enables real-time monitoring of bending machine signals, tooling parameters, and bending speed. The system supports direct import of drawings, automatically converting them into robot bending programs. High-precision displacement sensors ensure accurate feeding. Workflow: Import drawings to PC → Program automatically → Automatic robot bending.
