Automatic and robotic bending

precision, flexibility and maximum efficiency

Automatic robotic bending is an innovative technique that uses latest-generation anthropomorphic
robots to deform pre-cut metal sheets at room temperature, creating three-dimensional
components of high precision and resistance.

How it works

Programming

The robots are precisely programmed to follow defined trajectories, ensuring accurate bending even for complex geometries. The control software allows you to define every aspect of the process, such as speed, strength and bending angle.

Piece loading

The piece to be worked is positioned on the robot’s work surface manually or via automated systems, such as conveyor belts or collaborative robots.

Grip of the piece

The robot grasps the piece with special grippers, suited to its shape and material. The grippers are designed to ensure a safe and precise grip, avoiding damage to the piece.

Bending

The robot moves the piece precisely along the programmed trajectory, performing the bend according to the specific angles and radius required. The bending strength is modulated based on the material and thickness of the metal sheet.

Piece unloading

The bent piece is stored in a dedicated area or transferred to the next phase of the production process. Robots can also be integrated with automatic handling systems for efficient workflow.

Advantages of robotic automatic bending

UNMATCHED PRECISION

The repeatability of the robotic movement guarantees a precise and uniform bend in each piece, eliminating defects and production waste. Precision is essential for components that require tight dimensional tolerances.

HIGH FLEXIBILITY

The robots can be programmed to perform different types of bending, adapting to any geometry of the piece and specific production needs. Flexibility allows to manage a wide range of products and to quickly change the bending settings.

OPTIMIZED PRODUCTIVITY

The speed and efficiency of robots allow for increased production and reduced cycle times, maximizing hourly output. Robotization allows for increased productivity without sacrificing quality.

WASTE REDUCTION

The precision of the robotic process minimizes human errors and material waste, contributing to the sustainability of production. Waste reduction translates into a lower environmental impact and cost savings.

ENHANCED SAFETY

Robots eliminate the need for manual intervention in bending operations, reducing the risk of workplace injuries. Robotization helps create a safer working environment for operators.
