BLM GROUP has announced its new automated ProBend Cell Compact press brake, which is being demonstrated at FABTECH 2023 at stand #A1338.
The ProBend Compact Cell, featuring the ProBend E-Series 205-60 and 30kg Robot, has the flexibility to process a wide variety of part sizes from 4” x 3” up to 24” x 32” and 33 lbs. The E-Series 205-60 press brake has a bending force of 66 tons, a bending length of 81” and an overall Cell size of LWH - 281”x162”x122”.
Additionally, these high-precision automated press brake cells offer excellent reliability and high productivity.
The system has two load and unload locations with the ability to integrate the unload pallets with an AGV as desired. The pre-load section is configurable with the ability to adapt to part geometry, as well as allowing its removal to accommodate larger parts. The 3-axis cartesian pick & place system w/pivoting head allows the robot to continue processing parts while staging the next piece of material. The automatic tool change capability requires minimal operator intervention, making tool change between parts very fast and easy. Up to 6 meters of tooling storage location gives you ample amount of space for all your tooling needs. The system can handle a variety of end-ofarm- tooling types – vacuum, magnet and gripper-style, to process various types of materials.
The ProBend E-Series press brakes feature a patented, direct-drive system with twin torque motors and an open “C” frame design, providing the ability to form off the edge of the machine. As compared to industry standards, the E-Series, with a ram tilt up to 3/8”, offers a generous open height, stroke and throat size, benefiting deep box or special forming needs. Built for optimum accuracy and high speeds on all 6-axes, the E-Series’ CNC-controlled backgauge meets the demands of the most complex sheet metal applications for high-production manufacturing.
Offline software package gives you complete control to go from part drawing to pallet in minutes.
