CNC Panel Bender combines productivity, with its automatic bending and handling cycles, and versatility, with its universal bending tools and patented kinematics.

Flexible automation

It uses universal bending tools which automatically adapt in-cycle to the panel geometry, without machine down times or manual re-tooling, allowing batch-one or kit productions.

Sustainable technology

The technical solutions adopted, including the use of only pneumatic and electric drives, allow it to respect both people and the environment without reducing productivity. The panel bender consumes less than 3 kW and has truly compact overall dimensions, of just 8 m2.

Adaptive system

The integrated adaptive technologies (advanced sensors, bending formula, MAC3.0) make the system intelligent and able to automatically adapt to changes in the material and the external environment, eliminating waste and corrections, and extending the range of products that can be made.

Great versatility

With the bending unit's patented kinematics, China Yawei 2500mm panel bender can bend a wide variety of items, achieving bends that cannot be made on any other bending machine.

How to combine productivity and flexibility?

Conventional bending is characterized by an average OEE of 30%, and flexibility depends on the tool change system, which is often costly and time-consuming, with longer times compared to panel benders, or on the installation of more than one press brake. Even with compact electric panel bender natively combines productivity, with its automatic bending and handling cycles, and flexibility, with its universal bending tools.

How long does re-tooling take?

Panel Bender doesn’t require re-tooling: the upper and lower blades, the counterblade and the blankholder are universal tools that are able to process the whole range of thicknesses and machinable materials.

Do manual loading and unloading affect the total cycle time?

Loading and unloading are performed by the operator, who positions the sheet metal on the worktable and collects the product after bending. Bender cycle minimizes the impact of these activities on total cycle time, as it allows the product to be unloaded after positioning the sheet on the worktable, thus combining two operations in a single action.

The set-up has minimal impact on the panel bender's productivity: when the program is loaded, the blankholder automatically adapts in masked time, and the manipulator gets into position for gripping and handling the sheet.

The very small masses involved and the optimized dimensions of the panel bender allow the bladeholder to reach a greater degree of freedom in its movements, and positions from where it can even make bends that would not be feasible on other panel benders. Furthermore, the electric drives and patented kinematics allow bending in less than 2 seconds.

Main Components Descriptions

Each part of Intelligent Flexible Bending Center needs to undergo strict selection, harsh testing, and long-term baking machine, and the key parts certification and selection cycle is nearly four years

 

The upper and lower blades (A, D) bend up or down during the job.

The upper pressing tool (B) works simultaneously with the bending blade and the lower pressing tool to hold and bend the panel precisely and efficiently. The lower pressing tool (C) clamps the panel tight when bending.

patented tool, applied imported slow wire process, higher consistency,

general segmented upper pressing tool accuracy up to 0.006mm, the overall heat treatment plus ultra-cryogenic process harder and more wear-resistant. Using cr12mov or 42crmo material, different materials can be selected according to the customer's process. Self-built tool factory, each tool can be traced back to the source, and through strict quality inspection, the quality is more secure.

Even though a panel bender offers ease of setup, greater operating efficiencies, and high-quality output, there are a number of parts that fall outside the criteria and are better suited for fabrication using a press brake.

When it comes to high-quality metal fabrication, both the panel bender and press brake have a place. The decision as to which to use will depend on the type and size of the project.
