Precision sheet metal bending
In sheet metal bending, also referred to as press braking, flanging, folding or forming, LVD puts the focus on flexible automation solutions, robot bending and process digitalisation. From cost-effective, compact electric-drive press brakes to tailor-made, multi-axis hydraulic press brakes and heavy-duty PPEB-H XXL press brakes, there is an LVD solution.
High-precision press brake automation is part of the LVD press brake range, including the automatic tool changing press brake ToolCell and flexible automation of Robotic Bending Systems (RBS), modular robotic bending cells configured by the user. These systems offer automatic programming and handle short-to-long runs.
As an easy entry to automation and to extend the capacity and productivity of any LVD press brake built from 2001, there’s the Ricobb cobot bending system. Ricobb automates the bending of parts up to 4 kg and is an easy, cost-effective solution that’s quick to implement, mobile and adaptable – simply move it, dock it, and run it.
LVD has developed unique technologies in order to ensure precise bending: the Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending technology, allowing the CNC press brake to compensate for spring back, strain hardening and grain direction, and the Synchro-Form technology, used in large sheet metal bending, to automate bending of large profiles and automatically position large sheets.
When it comes to very thick or high-tensile-strength material such as Hardox®, traditional rules for determining minimum bend radius, punch radius, die openings, bending force calculations, and press brake tooling requirements may no longer apply.
LVD has developed unique technologies in order to ensure precision bending: Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending technology allows the CNC press brake to compensate for spring back, strain hardening and grain direction; Synchro-Form technology, used in large sheet metal bending, automates the bending of large profiles and automatically positions large sheets.
The CADMAN software suite includes CADMAN-B bending software to program sheet metal bending operations offline, as well as CADMAN-SIM to optimise robotic bending with fully automated offline programming of both the press brake and robot – no robot teaching required.
