The folding beam is a true power component of the machine. Its extremely rigid design allows only very low deflection. The intelligent crowning system automatically optimizes the folding beam and automatically compensates for deflections caused by the bending forces. This enables the MEGAbend to achieve straight bends with thin or thick sheets, all material types, long or short flanges, when bending in the center of the machine or on the side. Fast movements ensure high productivity. Automatic adjustment to sheet thickness and bending radius increases productivity and flexibility when bending small batches.
- Minimal deflection of the folding beam
- Straight bends due to the intelligent crowning system
- Folding beam can be used as a stop for inclined parts
- No setting times due to automatic adjustment to thickness and bending radius
- No downtime for material change
- Fast movement: short cycle times
- SpeedOptimizer increases speed by releasing the part when the folding beam moves to its home position.
- Automatic clamping of segmented folding beam tools
- Gentle forming of coated materials
- Servo motors and absolute encoders: fast working, no calibration
