Salvagnini Roboformer 2019 combines a press brake, robot arm, and automatic handling devices in one unit

The Salvagnini Roboformer 2019 combines technologies that forms a single, cohesive bending unit that automatically synchronizes all movements of press brake, robot arm and automatic handling devices directly from solid models, making production lean, flexible, predictable, and cost effective.

All activities of RoboFormer are managed with a single program and it is never necessary to “teach” robots. RoboFormer is an Industry 4.0 bending cell that accommodates remote monitoring via computer, smart phone, or other digital device. One shop floor supervisor can oversee the operation of up to 5 Robofromer units.

The core of a Roboformer bending cell is the Salvagnini B3-ATA press brake that automatically adjusts the length of its upper universal bending tools, lower V-dies and back gauges in-cycle, to achieve setups in near-zero time. MAC 2.0 adaptive technology provides bending repeatability, precision and scrap reduction, while the B3’s Angle Measurement System monitors and corrects bend angles on the fly. The result is an unmanned bending system that yields precise parts in the shortest possible time in kit, batch or one-off production for a lean, profitable operation.
