Tech Update
Adaptive Bending System a New Solution for Large-Profile Bending
LVD Strippit introduces Synchro-Form, an advancement in adaptive press-brake- bending technology. Synchro-Form auto- matically maintains angular consistency and the required geometric profile when handling, positioning and bending large parts with multiple bends. The system overcomes the problems of accumulative error and trial-and-error bending when forming large profiles. As a result, Synchro-Form ensures precise, efficient bending, eliminating man- ual operations and increasing throughput.
YOU CAN GET THE BEST VALUE, PERFORMANCE, DELIVERY AND SERVICE...ALL FROM HEIM!
The system uses a laser scanner and synchro modules (X, R and A-axis magnets) to manipulate, position and measure each bend. It relays the digital information to an LVD Touch-B control, which triggers adjustments to part and ram position to achieve the correct profile. Rather than variations accumulating, they instead are compensated for with each bend step. Even after multiple, consecutive bends, the profile will be perfectly formed, accord-
ing to company officials.
The Synchro-Form system is an inte-
series of press brakes in models from 320 tons by 13 ft. to 3000 tons by 46 ft. LVD Strippit: www.lvdgroup.com
