The UpDownCenter-2 is a semi-automatic bending center for high precision panels and boxes up to 4060 mm bending length and up to 600 mm box height. With up to 4 mm mild steel bending capacity, it is ideal for thin and medium material thicknesses. The machine can be operated from the gauging system side. Bent parts with long and high flanges can be also unloaded from the folding beam side.
The tool changer cuts set-up times and increases productivity, especially for small production lots or when a tool change is required within the bending sequence. In addition to up and down folding and the automated PosLift part positioning system, the automatic creation of bending programs is another highlight of the machine.
Here are some samples of how accurately the software programs a parts starting from the imported STEP file and how accurately the machine already bends the very first part.
The ingenious Bendex software programs the bending sequence with a click of the mouse. Simply import a STEP file of the part by Drag & Drop into the software. That's it! With one click of the mouse, the software automatically programs the entire bending sequence and shows a variety of possible programs in seconds. With a 5-star rating, the software suggests the best bending sequence. A 3D simulation shows all details of the bending sequence. This allows the feasibility to be checked in the office - even before the first blank is produced. After starting the program, the software guides the operator through the bending sequence. The software shows the loading direction, the rotation of the part and the foot switch operation.
The UpDownCenter offers numerous options for squaring and gauging the blanks. But no worry: The software calculates the best gauging option automatically and proposes it to the operator. If the operator selects another possibility, the program will be adapted immediately.
After squaring the parts the suction cups of the gauging system take over the blank and position the workpiece with an accuracy of +/- 0.01 mm for each bend. The UpDownCenter finishes one side of the part before the operator turns the blank to the next side.
The RAS UpDownCenter panel bender is also available with a brush table. This solution is very useful for extremely thin sheets, as they are used for refrigerated cabinets and in the shop fitting industry.
The gripper arms of the tool changer take the tools from the magazine and place them precisely in the upper beam. Fast set-up times lead to high productivity and low unit costs.
The upper beam tools of UpDownCenter-2 are segmented. This allows the tools to be individually setup for each part length. With tool heights of up to 600 mm, the machine is also ready for deep boxes and enclosures.
The folding beam tools of the UpDownCenter-2 are also segmented to allow slots for protruding flanges or tabs.
The UpDownTools can be programmed for three different working heights. This allows bending of tabs, window bends, oblique blanks, etc.
The UpDownCenter-2 is equipped with the latest two-channel safety systems.
