Bending machine
STENHOJ

Our equipment represents a different and innovative way of viewing the manufacturing process and production flow of truck chassis side members with offset.

Traditionally, the bending of chassis side members has been done during the pressing process. Hereby, uncontrollable spring back with deviations in parallelism, undesirable deformations like foldings and angle deviations are well known problems. Stenhøj's offsetting equipment is built to eliminate such problems and the machine is working fully automated, based on CNC technology.

The Stenhøj Bending Machines offer advantages like:

* No foldings in the flanges
* No angle deviations in the flanges
* Accurate positioning of the bending lines
* Precise displacement, irrespective of steel quality
* Offsetting of side members with reinforcements in one operation
* Optimum parallelism
* No after treatment of the bending points
* Automatic compensation for spring back through advanced "learning-by-doing" system
* Offsetting of painted side members (subject to type of paint)
* Twist (torsion) compensation (option)
* Communication with a Superior Factory Computer (Plant Master) (option)
