Folding center for small parts

As a world premier RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau GmbH presents the MiniBendCenter, an automated folding system for small and complex parts.

The MiniBendCenter demonstrated that folding is suited not only for classical applications like large size parts, but also offers distinguished services when it comes to small, complex components.

The MiniBendCenter addresses markets for small parts inside automats, cabinets, scales, white goods or medical components. The MiniBendCenter can handle blank sizes as small as 40 x 50 mm and workpieces up to 600 x 600 mm. It is designed for applications up to 3 mm mild steel.

All axes are servo motor and digital regulator driven. This allows automatic sequences with maximum accuracy and repeatability. Automatically means that blanks will be fed, squared and measured automatically. It also means that the machine will set up the tools automatically. A blank manipulator automatically moves the workpiece from one folding station to the other and rotated it to the correct position. As the machine has scanned the blank position in the manipulator once and the part manipulator does not release the blank during the production cycle the MiniBendCenter is able to fold the parts without positioning stops. The center folds flanges up and down and finally the part will be unloaded automatically.

A powerful programming system allow to create complex parts in less than 30 minutes. This comfort is based on a 3D CAM system, developed by RAS for the MiniBendCenter.
