Metaltech 2024 (Malaysia)
LVD highlights its range of bending and folding products with the new Multifold 2111 fully-automatic panel bender, Dyna-Press Pro electric press brake, and CADMAN® software at Metaltech, Malaysia’s largest manufacturing exhibition for metalworking, machinery, robotics and automation.
NEW FULLY-AUTOMATIC PANEL BENDER
LVD has added a new line of panel bending equipment, expanding its product portfolio to address a broader range of bending application needs. The new Multifold 2111 panel bender at Metaltech offers fully-automatic bending of workpiece dimensions up to 2100 x 1250 mm in material thicknesses up to 1.6 mm aluminium, achieving bend heights up to 110 mm. LVD’s panel benders deliver high accuracy and productivity in a cost-efficient design. Multifold 2111 features automatic sheet feeding, tool setting, servo bending, clamping, sheet rotation, positioning, and gauging. Automatic unloading and stacking are available as options. One set of tooling – a universal set of servo-operated up-and-down folding blades – can produce a number of profiles and various types of bends.
ELECTRIC-DRIVE DYNA-PRESS
LVD’s Dyna-Press 40/15 Pro electric press brake bends small parts at high bending speeds of 25 mm/s, producing more parts per hour at a lower cost per part. The 40-ton press brake features a working length of 1530 mm and a precision five-axis backgauge. The electric ram offers smooth transition from approach to working speed and minimizes power consumption. The Dyna-Press Pro at Global Industrie Paris will demonstrate LVD’s Easy-Form® Laser, an optional feature of the machine. The adaptive bending system provides repeatable bending accuracy assured from the first bend. Easy-Form Laser transmits data in real time to the CNC control, which processes the information and immediately adjusts the position of the punch to achieve the correct angle, automatically compensating for material variations such as sheet thickness, strain hardening and grain direction. The bending process is not interrupted and no production time is lost.
SOFTWARE TO OPTIMIZE PROCESS FLOW
CADMAN-FLOW improves the speed and flexibility of the process flow from a 3D file to machine code to final product, offering significant gains in productivity. It offers a single point of entry to LVD’s complete software suite: software for Smart Drawing Importing, laser cutting, punching, bending, robotic bending and Manufacturing Execution System (MES). At the core of CADMAN-FLOW is the new CADMAN-B v9, the next generation of LVD’s benchmark CAM software. CADMAN-B v9 calculates bending solutions faster and more efficiently than ever before, with 50 percent fewer tool changes and smarter bend solutions.
