LVD’s Easy-Cell 80/25: Advanced Robotic Bending for Large Parts

Robotic Bending System for Enhanced Precision and Flexibility
LVD has launched the Easy-Cell 80/25, a revolutionary robotic bending cell designed to automate the bending of a wide range of parts. The system is capable of handling components as small as 100 x 100 mm and as large as 1,600 x 1,200 mm, with a maximum weight of 25 kg. By integrating the precision of an 80-ton Easy-Form press brake with the flexibility of a KUKA industrial robot, the Easy-Cell 80/25 significantly enhances both the size range and the precision of parts it can handle.

This system represents a step forward in automating sheet metal fabrication for manufacturers requiring flexibility in their bending operations, from small batch runs to large production volumes.

Key Specifications and Performance
The Easy-Cell 80/25 is equipped with a 2,500-mm bend length, 5-axis backgauge, and a 2,500-mm crowning table, all of which contribute to enhanced performance and versatility. The inclusion of adaptive bending technology ensures that the system delivers consistent bend angles right from the start, eliminating the need for constant re-adjustments or manual intervention. This results in higher precision and efficiency, especially for manufacturers with strict tolerances or high-volume production runs.

The CADMAN software, integrated with the system, enables offline programming of both the press brake and the robotic arm. This functionality minimizes setup times, making it easier to switch between part types and geometries. The ability to program offline also reduces the possibility of human error, improving overall productivity and reducing downtime between production cycles.

Robotic Automation Revolutionizing Sheet Metal Processing
The Easy-Cell 80/25 is not only a significant leap forward in terms of size and capacity but also represents a broader trend of robotic automation in the sheet metal processing industry. This technology automates complex and time-consuming bending tasks, reducing the need for manual labor, improving overall throughput, and enhancing product consistency. It is particularly advantageous for industries where part size and material complexity vary widely, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Conclusion: Boosting Efficiency and Precision in Manufacturing
LVD’s Easy-Cell 80/25 is set to become a game-changer for manufacturers who need a reliable, flexible, and precise robotic solution for bending sheet metal. By automating the entire bending process and enabling easy integration with CADMAN software, the system provides a seamless solution for increasing both productivity and quality.
