The process is ideally suited to both volume production and parts that are difficult to handle, heavy or complex. The aim of robotic bending is to improve accuracy through ACB technology, reducing the safety risks associated with manually forming heavier parts and reducing cost through increased productivity.
Our robotic forming cell is comprised of a Trumpf bending cell – a TruBend 230S. It offers automated tool selection, material loading and a conveyor system for flexible storage. It enables us to perform ‘lights-out’ operations, where the machine is programmed and loaded before being left to run autonomously. Its built-in checks are verified by our engineers using a measurement system analysis (MSA) process.
Metal folding is used to create many products including pipes, enclosures, boxes and more, as sheet metal can be fashioned and reshaped in many ways such as rolling, indenting, bending and shearing.
Newfield’s quality assurance team carry out in-process checks throughout fabrication to ensure repeatable high accuracy, whilst advanced 3D measurement technology guarantees all components meet the very tight tolerances required by our customers.
