RBS 40

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

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 mid-sized parts up to 40 kg, RBS 40 is the perfect fit. 

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 40, select between the following press brakes: 

- PPED-7 80/25 - Accurate, economical bending 
- PPEB-8 80/25 or 135/30 –High-precision bending in a configurable design 
- Easy-Form-9 80/25, 135/30 or 220/30 – The ultimate adaptive bending press brake 
- ToolCell 135/30 – Automatic tooling changing press brake

Select from input boxes with various stack options, a preloader and pallet tilter, output pallets, drop units, a pallet dispenser and conveyor for optimal material flow.  

On the RBS 40 platform, multiple grippers let you handle more applications and bend a wider variety of parts, by simply changing the gripper.  

Powered by LVD’s CADMAN-SIM software, RBS 40 automatically generates the bending and robot program. No robot teaching at the machine is required. 

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. 

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

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.
