Mobile Bending Cell

With the Mobile Bending Cell, Bystronic takes the next evolutionary step in the field of bending. There is now a mobile automation module for the Xpert 40. The result is a compact solution for automated and manual bending.

In production, the variety of shapes, sizes, and batch sizes of the parts that are to be bent are increasing. And the central question is always to produce these parts as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Hence, the requirements placed on a modern bending system are as follows: “Adapt to this variety. Help the user to produce quickly. Automate as many processing steps as possible. But also provide the user with the possibility to work manually if the need arises.” In a nutshell, one could say: “Make bending easy.”

With the Mobile Bending Cell, Bystronic now provides an answer for all these requirements. The technology behind the new Bending Cell is comprised of the Xpert 40 together with bending robotics. A combination of a fast press brake and mobile automation. With the Mobile Bending Cell, users process large series with the automated bending mode. However, they can also manually bend small series and individual parts whenever necessary. When not in use, the bending robotics system can simply be moved to one side.
