RBS 80

Robotic Bending System for large parts

Based on the RBS 80 platform, you can configure a fully automated bending cell with a choice of robust press brakes, a robot on a guided rail, and multiple input and output options for smooth handling of heavy parts. Programming is done completely offline – with no robot teaching required.  

  • Part size up to 120" x 49.2", weight up to 176 pounds
  • Profile length: max. 118.1"
  • Press brakes: PPEB, Easy-Form or ToolCell
  • 118.1", 157.4" or 165.3" bending length and 135 or 220 ton pressing force 

Highlights

Five easy steps 

It takes five steps to your custom bending cell: 

1.Determine the required robot payload  
2.Choose your press brake 
3.Select the input station 
4.Choose the output method 
5.Pick the right robot grippers 

Three platforms  

LVD offers three platforms – RBS 4, RBS 40 and RBS 80 – to suite different part sizes and weights. Size, weight and profile length determine the required robot payload and the RBS platform from which to start. For large and heavy parts up to 176 pounds, RBS 80 is the perfect fit. 

Range of press brakes 

In each platform you can choose between two or more press brakes from LVD’s comprehensive press brake range, depending on the functionality you need. For RBS 80, select between the following press brakes: 

-PPEB-8 135/30 or 220/42–High-precision bending in a configurable design 
-Easy-Form-9 135/30 or 220/42 – The ultimate adaptive bending press brakeToolCell 220/40 – Automatic tooling changing press brake 

Input and output stations 

Select from input boxes with various stack options, preloader, input and output pallet zone including automatic gate, and part conveyor for optimal material flow.  

Gripper solutions 

On the RBS 80 platform, multiple grippers expand your applications and enable bending of a wider variety of large, heavy parts, with the convenience of automatic gripper change.  

Easy programming 

Powered by LVD’s CADMAN-SIM software, RBS 80 automatically generates the bending and robot program. No robot teaching at the machine is required. 

Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending 

The adaptive bending system on the Easy-Form and ToolCell press brakes guarantees angle accuracy from the first to the last bend by compensating for variations in material thickness, strain hardening, and grain direction. 

Robotic or manual operation 

For maximum flexibility, the system can operate manually. The backgauge fingers are designed for both robotic and manual bending. 

 

CADMAN® software suite 

Integrates the entire process flow with modules for bend programming, CADMAN-B, robot software, CADMAN-SIM, drawing import, CADMAN-SDI, job tracking, CADMAN-JOB, and ERP connectivity. The Touch-i4 tablet provides real-time KPIs and supports part sorting and validation.
