The bending methods and the modular line concept make PivaBend suitable for many different applications.
The types of bending methods utilized by PivaBend are suitable for use with materials with sensitive surfaces like pre-painted steel and aluminum. The material moves between stations and are clamped and folded without being scratched or dented.
The material is firmly clamped into place and cannot move during the bending process while the folding tools follow the material without moving over the surface. This ensures a continuous production and no costly scratches or rejects.
The PivaBend line concept optimizes material flow and productivity.
Punched blanks are either transported straight from a PivaPunch Center or loaded from pallets. Bent parts are discharged either by hand, using a robot for palletizing, or transported straight to a welding cell or assembling line.
The multi-station solutions are designed either in straight lines or at an angle depending on the factory layout.
Part programming
Pre-programmed sections of all sides are stored in the line controller and combined with the blank size data for each CNC program.
