Five trends in the development of CNC bending machine system

With the development of society, the improvement of labor costs, the continuous improvement of product requirements, many enterprises for the production of equipment performance and requirements are constantly improving, and as forging, sheet metal industry, an important production equipment – CNC bending machine is also constantly updated and developed.

1. High precision, high speed and high efficiency

Power, quality is the key functional indicators of advanced production skills, is the main body of advanced production skills. If the use of high-speed CPU chips, RISC chips, multi-CPU control system, high-resolution detection components, communication digital servo system, supporting electric spindle, linear motor and other skills can greatly improve the power, improve the quality and level of products, shorten the production cycle and improve the competitiveness of the market. In the coming years, the ultra-fine CNC bending machine punching machine is being refined, high-speed, intelligent and nano development, a collection of a new generation of CNC bending machine tools.

2. Flexibility

CNC bending machine system uses a new generation of modular planning, wider functional coverage, more reliable, can meet the needs of different users. The same group control system can be based on different production processes, active information flow dynamic adjustment, play the function of the group control system.

3. Multi-axis

Multi-axis linkage processing, parts in a CNC bending machine tool after a clamping, active tool change, rotating spindle head, rotating table and other operations, to complete multiple processes, multi-surface composite processing, not only high gloss, and power is also a substantial improvement.

4. Open software and hardware

Users can be based on their own needs, the secondary development of CNC bending machine system software, the user’s scope of application is no longer subject to the constraints of the manufacturer.

5. Intelligent

In the field of CNC bending machine skills, real-time intelligent control research and use is along: adaptive control, fuzzy control, neural network control, expert control, learning control, feed-forward control and other aspects. Such as programming expert system fault diagnosis expert system, when the system is out of order, diagnosis, maintenance, etc. to complete the intelligent.

Bending automation can solve the problem of staff shortage, it is complementary to bending intelligence, but from the perspective of bending automation, general-purpose 6-axis robot bending system is only one of the cases. Bending machines are widely used in kitchen equipment, office furniture, construction steel, automotive, electronic equipment and other industries, and the use of general-purpose 6-axis robotic bending systems is still very limited for these industries’ small-volume, multi-variety production mode.

There are many ways to automate bending, but if a 6-axis robotic bending system is used, the key considerations should be robot programming, palletizing flexibility and automatic compensation and confirmation using bending intelligence. At present, bending automation can check and confirm the situation before and during the bending process, but there is almost no automatic inspection of the finished product after bending, so the use of automatic and semi-automatic bending still needs some time.
