Robotic sheet-metal bending
Load a press brake and reposition sheet metal between bends. The cell must hold the part, follow the bending sequence and manage regripping.
The process
Define every step of the operation.
Analyse the flat pattern, bend order and press tooling.
Check gripping, regripping and sheet deformation.
Define press communication and shared protective measures.
Test loading, batch changes and final stacking.
Selection to confirm
Families to consider.
6-axis articulated robots
Articulated arms for machine tending, part orientation and process paths. The models shown cover small and medium payloads.
18 documented models
Bending robots
6-axis arms designed for sheet handling around a press brake. The three selected models have maximum payloads of 45, 80 and 130 kg.
6 documented modelsValidation depends on the parts, tooling, cycle trials and cell risk assessment.
Project questions
Before choosing a robot.
Can every bent part be automated?
Access, sheet retention and regripping can limit automation. A study of your parts identifies suitable references and those needing special fixtures.
Does the press need replacing?
That depends on the interfaces and access available on the existing press. We check these first before proposing changes or different equipment.
