Lantek, a pioneering multinational in the digital transformation of the sheet metal and fabrication industrial sectors, announced that it has signed a collaboration agreement with the multinational HSG Laser Group.
The industrialist or subcontractor produces value when the press brake is bending parts. Moving the bending program to programming stations in an office increases the productivity of the machine.
Systems of the MSD series can now also be networked subsequently and monitored comprehensively via an internet portal
Start-up times can affect part production costs, especially small and medium-sized series
Gérard Boudesocque - AMADA introduces this topic. "Manufacturers have great difficulty finding skilled manpower, especially bending operators. You need to find people who are both able to read and interpret plans, able to program machines... »
The causes of discarded parts give an interesting indication of the points to focus on with regards to the bending stations and the actions to be implemented to limit them.
Crowning is a distortion of the ram and the bed, induced during the bending operation by the force of the table. If this deformation is not compensated, the bending angle is irregular. The majority of press brakes are equipped with a crowning system.
A special bending tool is highly relevant in the context of recurring manufacturing or large batches of parts. In these cases, it allows to reduce the number of operations and manipulations on the press brake, while minimising the number of stops and cycles.
Changing the tools on press brakes is an important approach for improving productivity. The press brake downtime during the assembly of tools is substantial, especially during small or medium batches.
The choice of the tools, their maintenance and their proper use are important elements in the precision of the parts, in the management of the press brake and for the operator.
