FastBend new servo-electric bending solution

More and more fabricators are facing a situation, where big volumes are replaced by the need to produce small batches on a just-in time basis. In traditional bending with press brakes, set-up times, technical limits in producing sophisticated components and the requirement for skilled personnel may prove problematic in such manufacturing tasks.

Basing on extensive experience applying servo electric technology in automatic panel-bending solutions, Finn-Power introduces this concept as a new automation solution which focuses on set-up rather than material handling.

The new FastBend replaces the press brake with the automatic bending technology which allows more bends for each side in an automatic sequence without any manual intervention, Fastbend capabilities include positive/negative inversion, smashing and radius bend and several other typical profiles; only the loading, rotation and unloading are manual. The result is bending quality, fast production and elimination of human mistakes. With options ATC (automatic tool change) and barcode reader the machine makes set up automatically and activates a new part program. The clear and logical screen instructions facilitate and speed up operation further as well as support fast self learning.

Basing on extensive experience applying servo electric technology in automatic panel-bending solutions, Finn-Power introduces this concept on a new automation level.

FastBend requires no foundation and is very fast and easy to install. Average energy consumption is similar to a press brake and with its compact layout the machine offers a reduced impact on the manufacturing environment.

Bending principle

For optimum product quality two bending principles are available:

Circular mode
where the contact point on the panel remains the same, while the one of the blade changes during the bending movement.
  Rolling mode
with a wider contact surface between the blade and the sheet but no relative friction.

Savings and accuracy

The inherent benefits of servo electric technology include very low energy and maintenance costs, and a reduced impact on manufacturing environment (minimum noise and vibrations). The machine is not influenced by thermal conditions, and component quality is excellent.

Maximum bending length is either 2,150 mm or 2,550 mm, and the FBe5 can bend steel material up to 3.5 mm in thickness.

BCe4 84.65 " length max   BCe5  100" length max
New automatic bending process with semi-automatic material handling by FINN-POWER

FINN-POWER's BCe series bending centres offer the well-known Express Bender benefits – precision, flexibility and high surface quality in a semiautomatic construction. Only loading is performed manually an easy task due to user-friendly design.

BCe series provides productive capacity for single piece and small batches as well as serial manufacturing. It enlarges bending capability to the applications that were not possible before, allowing production of components which are full perforated, have large or high forms, or need large openings.

Wide option range

The BCe bending centre can be customized using the wide range of FINN-POWER options such as automatic tool change, additional upper tool, additional short blade, etc.

Some BCe benefits:

Higher productivity – Loading operation is simultaneous with unloading – shorter cycle time.

Full safety for the operator – The parts to be processed are transferred automatically from an external table

Reliable, accurate operation – Automatic clamp feeder moves the part to be bent from the table to the manipulator.

Higher operator efficiency – Automatic pusher conveyor (LBN) unloads bent parts to the unloading table with automatic buffer function

Fully automatic set-up between different components (with ATC)

Compact Lay-out

Higher productivity and faster programming compared with manual folding machines and robotized press brake.

Servo-Electric Automatic Bender Cells

EBe Express Bender

Servo electric technology for better bending and improved operation economy

Well known for advanced bending technology and innovative servo electric applications, FINN-POWER has combined them in the new automatic bending cell EBe. EBe automates the bending process of high-quality sheet metal components.

The new EBe, featuring FINN-POWER's E-technology, offers outstanding benefits through

• a flexibility for small series production
• excellent bending quality as required by e.g. design products
• low overall operation cost due to
      low energy consumption (- 50 %)
      low oil maintenance cost
      very fast operation

Compared with all-hydraulic solutions, truly remarkable savings can be made in your component manufacturing.

New construction

The new construction features actuation of the bending blade movements (vertical and horizontal) by servo NC-axes instead of hydraulic cylinders. The upper tool movements are made also by another NC servo-axis.

FINN-POWER EBe provides the high bending quality required in demanding applications such as component production for design products. This is achieved through precise control of bending axes, fast and smooth bending, open programmability, and the fact that the construction is immune to variation in thermal conditions.

New bending principle – a major breakthrough

For optimum product quality, a new bending principle is now available. With this new principle, when the "rolling mode" is used, there is a wider contact surface between the blade and the sheet but no relative friction. Alternatively, when using a standard "circular mode", the contact point remains constant whereas the contacting point of the blade changes during the bending movement.

New industrial design – easy integration

FINN-POWER EBe has also been designed for the modern manufacturing facility, with carefully thoughtout ergonomics through integrated safety covers.

Other features

1 Sophisticated software, including graphic parametric programming, and simulation at operator interface
2 Off-line programming
3 Reduced vibration
4 Very low noise level
5 Configurability with all FINN-POWER bending options
6 Upper pressure force automatically adjusted according to the material thickness and length
7 Automatic recording of bending parameters in material data base
8 Environmentally friendly
