Bending Cell

By integrating optional bending robots from FANUC, KUKA, ABB, and Yaskawa, we provide customized automation solutions designed directly from customer drawings. Our systems can be configured with high-quality tooling and clamping systems such as Wila, Amada, and Rolleri, as well as specialized fixtures, to achieve maximum flexibility and precision.

This tailored approach allows for significantly higher production efficiency, reduced labor intensity, and improved consistency in bending quality. Combined with intelligent automation, our solutions ensure reliable, high-speed processing that seamlessly adapts to the needs of modern smart factories.

We design and build custom end-of-arm grippers tailored to your parts, processes, and robots. From thin sheet handling to heavy plate, tube, and enclosure assemblies, our grippers are engineered for high stability, fast cycles, and scratch-free handling—perfect for bending cells, welding lines, and automated press brake loading/unloading.

A modern Bending Cell is designed for efficient, automated sheet metal bending operations. Its layout is optimized to ensure smooth material flow, precision, and operator safety. The main components typically include:

•  Loading Plate– Where raw sheets are placed, ready for bending.
•  Alignment Table– Ensures sheets are correctly positioned for accurate bends.
•  Bending Area– The main press brake or bending machine.
•  Flipping/Rotating Table– For parts that need multiple bends on different sides.
•  Unloading Plate– Where finished parts are collected.
•  Floor Cabinets– Storage for tools and accessories, keeping the workspace organized.

7-Axis Bending Robot

Our 7-axis bending robot is designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency in sheet metal bending.

• Long Workpiece Handling– Easily bends longer parts with high precision.
• Future Scalability– Ready to handle more parts as production demands increase.
• Flexible Positioning– The robot can be moved aside, allowing operators to manually bend additional parts when needed.
• High Efficiency– Works seamlessly with press brakes and automated lines to boost productivity.

A flipping table is used in bending operations to turn or rotate workpieces, allowing multiple bends on different sides. It improves workflow efficiency, reduces manual handling, and ensures precise positioning for complex parts.

DSP LASER protects the pressbrake operator from the danger of crushing that can take place accidentally between the moving part of the machine and the fixed one.The project idea used for this device is the one to fit out the moving pert of the pressbrake with a protection zone.

This is a volume of suitable and special dimensions generated by DSP LASER and placed under the upper tool vertex at a higher distance than that the machine requires to stop.So the protection zone, that moves together with the mobile part because integral with it, advances the race of this one towards the fixed pert. An obstacle (for example the Operator fingers) when entering the protection zone. Is detected immediately causing consequently the interruption of the mobile part motion.

The Laser check system, developed with Data-M & Vision Components, ensures highly accurate bend angles after just a single bending operation.

As a fully automatic, laser-assisted bend angle measurement solution for CNC press brakes, iMeasure delivers precise angle detection regardless of material type or thickness. With an accuracy exceeding ±0.1°, it achieves a level of precision previously unattainable.

The system automatically corrects bending angles by projecting a laser beam onto the sheet surface, which is then detected by a camera. By calculating the angle between the laser beam and the camera axis, the system determines the actual bend angle, compensates for springback, and optimizes the applied force for perfect results.

Currently compatible with Kuka, Yaskawa, ABB, Fanuc, and Mitsubishi robots — more brands coming soon.
