Preview of the Version 2021 of our 20 kN CNC Trim Stretchbendingmachines

Improving the Best

2021 Version 20 kN Trim bending machine

This 20 kN CNC-Stretchbendingmachine is the first model, which has been converted to the new 2020/2021 model year.

Countless improvments ensuring a more productive and better production have been implemented.

Hier a small example of some of the improvements:

  • Speeds and accelerations of the CNC axes have been improved 
  • Percision of positioning and curvature following has been improved
  • Digital loadcells ease up alignment, remote operation and analysis of the process with more precise live values.
  • Degree of freedom for several axes has been imrpoved (horizontal and vertical swivel, as Z-Axes and Rotation axes).
  • Servo Hydraulic axes ahve been replaced by servo electric axes, where possible
  • Free-Follow Mode in horizontal and vertical direction is still available
  • Valves, cabinets, cables, hoses have new alignments and optimized installation for better accessibility.
  • Covers for components, spindles, axes with additional protection for dust, dirt and mechanic impact
  • sensors are more accessible
  • automatic or manual lubrication can be installed
  • Breakers are digital and can be read in the diagnose screen with live values
  • More sensors and components conencted by bus sytems to reduce electrical contacts
  • Operating interfache with touchscreen and optional graphical surface for easer operation and diagnosis.
  • All machine parameters and sensors can be read ab diagnosed by remote access.
  • quicke installation on site due to less components in delivery and reduce machine height.

These are only a few of the integrated new advantages of the new generation. Talk to us!
