Salvagnini and LVD to Jointly Develop
Robotic Press-Brake Cell
Thursday, December 04, 2003
Salvagnini b.v. and LVD Company n.v. have agreed to share engineering resources and technology to jointly develop an advanced robotic bending cell automatically programmed from a 3D CAD model. Slated for installation at a customer’s facility in January 2004, it will provide automated material handling. The cell will be based on Salvagnini’s RoboFormER robotic press-brake cell, and will incorporate an LVD PPEB servo-controlled hydraulic press brake. LVD’s recent advances in adaptive forming will provide real-time angle control. A proprietary control will operate the cell.
