Easy-Cell

Highly flexible bending cell

Easy-Cell offers the capacity to handle a wide range of parts with a consistently high level of quality assured by the Easy-Form® adaptive bending system. Multiple robot grippers are easily changed to suit the bending application.

  • Fast, automatic programming of press brake and robot
  • Versatile 5-axis Easy-Form® press brake 
  • Part sizes from 100 x 100 mm up to 1600 x 1200 mm, weighing up to 25 kg
  • Built-in quality control using adaptive, in-process angle measurement system

Highlights

Efficient programming

Programming Easy-Cell is simple, fast, and efficient with no special programming skills or robot teaching required. All programming is handled offline.

Powerful bending capacity

Adding to Easy-Cell versatility is the press brake’s five-axis backgauge and a bending length of 2500 mm to handle large as well as complex parts. A 2500 mm crowning table provides high productivity and precise angles over the entire bending length.

Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending

LVD’s Easy-Form® Laser (EFL) system provides quality assurance for consistently accurate bending results, critical for automated production. Easy-Form automatically compensates for material variations, strain hardening and grain direction without slowing the bending process.

Multiple robot grippers

Multiple robot grippers provide the flexibility to handle a diversity of part sizes and geometries. Gripper changeout is quick and easy. 

Robot flexibility

The Kuka robot uses a unique swivel axis to optimize workpiece regripping. This minimizes the time it takes for regripping, improving overall cycle time.

Automatic or manual 

For maximum flexibility, Easy-Cell can also be operated manually. The press brake backgauge fingers are designed for both robotic and manual bending.

Optimized layout 

Easy-Cell is compact in its design, requiring just 7000 x 8000 mm of space. The efficiency of the cell layout makes for quick installation and startup and allows work to flow smoothly and unattended.

CADMAN® software suite

CADMAN software facilitates a fully integrated process flow. Software modules include CADMAN-B bend programming software, CADMAN-SIM robot software, CADMAN-SDI drawing importer, CADMAN-JOB real-time data collection, job tracking and ERP connection. Also available is a Touch-i4 tablet for KPI performance information, sorting and validating of parts.
