Sheet metal machine tool equipment is the basic production equipment of the sheet metal processing industry and occupies an important position in the field of metal product forming.
Domestic metal cutting machine tools in the upper process of sheet metal processing have basically realized automation. However, the vast majority of bending equipment in the sheet metal field is still traditional equipment, with low automation, low production efficiency, and high technical requirements for employees. According to statistics, the global market stock of machine tool equipment for the sheet metal industry is more than 500,000 units, the market size exceeds 100 billion, and the total annual demand is more than 100,000 units, of which the annual demand for flexible bending centers(panel bender machine) is more than 20,000 units.

Compared with the traditional press brake machine, the main advantages of the intelligent flexible bending center are as follows:

1.Speed

The fully automated bending process of the intelligent flexible bending center can reach 0.2 seconds/knife at the fastest, which greatly reduces the cycle time of multi-edge and multi-channel bending, which is more than 3 times the speed of traditional CNC bending machines. For complex workpieces, the greater the speed advantage.
Traditional CNC bending machines require skilled workers to position and bend the workpiece with their hands, and each edge needs to be repositioned, which is inefficient.

2.Artificial

The intelligent flexible bending center has low technical requirements for workers. Ordinary workers can go to work after training, and there is no need to hire experienced skilled workers. At the same time, the bending process is fully automated, which greatly saves labor and greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers.
Traditional CNC bending machines often require multiple people to complete larger workpieces, but the intelligent flexible bending center only needs workers to place the workpiece on the workbench, and the equipment automatically completes the positioning, which is a real time-saving and labor-saving.

3.Security

The intelligent flexible bending center does not need to manually hold the workpiece, and the bending process is fully automated, which greatly reduces the safety hazards caused by workers’ misoperation.

4.Ease of use

The intelligent flexible bending center adopts graphical and visual programming. Workers only need to input bending data according to the workpiece, and the system automatically generates bending instructions without using code programming. Ordinary workers can master it in 2 hours.
Traditional CNC bending centers require workers to master complex programming skills and memorize the bending sequence of each edge during the bending process, which is difficult and has a high error rate.

5.Consistency

The intelligent flexible bending center can realize the automatic positioning of the plate, the positioning accuracy of the system can reach 0.001mm, the product consistency after forming is higher, and it is more suitable for mass production.
The positioning accuracy of the traditional CNC bending center is not high, and there will be dimensional errors caused by multiple positioning.

6.Automation

The intelligent flexible bending center has reserved a wealth of interfaces to facilitate the connection of upstream and downstream production lines. It can be docked with the robotic arm to realize automatic integrated loading and unloading.

Equipped with the same control system of the self-driven robotic arm and the intelligent flexible bending center, the coordination efficiency is higher; changing the workpiece does not need to maintain two sets of programs, only need to change the bending center program, and automatically generate the robotic arm program, which is more flexible.

7.System upgrade

Lanhao intelligent flexible bending center is completely independently developed, has a number of core technology patents, free upgrades for life, and the system has reserved a wealth of interfaces in accordance with the industry 4.0 architecture.

8.Mold

The intelligent flexible bending center adopts universal bending molds, and realizes bending of various shapes through multi-axis concurrent linkage full servo control.
Traditional CNC bending machines need to bend one mold, and customize a dedicated mold for each shape, which costs more.
