New Roboformer® Robotized Bending Cell from Salvagnini Raises Speed, Productivity and Accuracy to New Levels
From idea to finished product at the touch of a button, the ROBOformER is the new way to bend sheet metal products.
HAMILTON, OH (August 13, 2002)—The new ROBOformER® from Salvagnini is the world's only robotic bending cell with advanced, intuitive software to orchestrate the movements of robotic loading, intricate bending actions and unloading — all accomplished with one controller with one program. The ROBOformER can be seen in operation at IMTS 2002 Booth #B6117.
The easy-to-use proprietary software provides instant, real-time management of the robot simply and immediately, and takes speed, productivity, accuracy and safety to a new level.
With one cell, one controller and one programmer, the ROBformER is the solution for low gauge sheet metal bending challenges, taking production from drawing to finished product in about an hour, without stopping the machine. The unique advanced Salvagnini software, uses a solid modeler and specially designed user interface that:
• Allows solid drawings to be imported/exported.
• Manages an advanced tool file that can suggest press set-up solutions.
• Determines the optimum bending sequence.
• Anticipates potential interference and automatically generates optimized robot trajectories, optimized and synchronized press-brake movements, and workpiece loading/unloading.
The 6-axis robot can handle a maximum load of 176 lbs (80 kg) and the press-brake features sheet metal bend length 122/166" (3100/4100 mm) and bending force of 117/151 tons (1050/1350 kN) with a maximum bending speed of 47 ipm (20 mm/s). The ROBOformER accepts incoming sheet up to 120" (3048 MM0 long) and 60" (1524 mm) wide.
The ROBOformER is designed for companies that work with small, often varied batches, and are seeking ways to improve their quality, competitiveness and time-to-market.
For more than 30 years, Salvagnini has served the global metalworking industry by designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing flexible sheet metal processing systems, machines, process software and tooling for factory integration. Major product lines include punching and shearing, automatic panel bending and laser cutting systems. And as the originator of automation in the sheet metal fabricating sector, Salvagnini
offers complete material handling capabilities, including ASRS, robotic loading/unloading, conveying and parts manipulation. More than 20,000 Salvagnini systems are in operation in more than 50 countries around the world.
