New Robotic Press Brake Enhances Performance
CoastOne electric press brakes now use robotic integration to automate the bending process and increase productivity and quality.
Robotic integration is a technology that allows robots to operate press brakes automatically, without human intervention. CoastOne has partnered with many companies, including RoboCell ONE, to produce flexible and modular robotic cells that can work with any CoastOne press brake.
These robotic cells can load and unload parts, rotate and flip them, and perform quality control and sorting. They can also communicate with the press brake controller and adjust the bending parameters accordingly.
Robotic Integration Available for All CoastOne Press Brakes
All the CoastOne press brakes now allow for a robot interface – either a collaborative robot, or a fully automated robot cell. CoastOne machines include the following:
The smallest “fully electric,” servo-driven press brakes found in the CoastOne press brake line are ideal for bending smaller parts. The C-Series small press brakes feature one to two ball screws using a “direct drive system” to administer force. Each ball screw is capable of producing about 25 tons of force.
The G-Series machines feature an “O-Frame,” as opposed to the “C-Frame” found in smaller machines. The “O-Frame” deflects less than the “C-Frame” which is very useful for the higher tonnage and longer bed length machines. The G-Series is ideal for longer bending requirements and features three ball screws that crown and bend simultaneously.
Benefits of Robotic Integration with Electric Press Brakes
Robotic integration with electric press brakes can offer several advantages over manual bending operations, such as:
Increased Productivity
Work faster, longer, and more consistently than human operators, reducing cycle times and increasing output.
Enhanced Safety
Handle heavy, sharp, and hot metal sheets, reducing the risk of injury and fatigue for human operators.
Improved Accuracy
Achieve precise positioning and alignment of the metal sheets, ensuring consistent and high-quality bends.
Reduced Labor Costs
Decrease the need for skilled and experienced bending workers, as well as the training and supervision costs associated with them.
Robotic Press Brakes: The Best Applications
Robotic integration with electric press brakes can be applied to various production scenarios in the industry:
Large-Volume and Repetitive Tasks
Automate bending operations that involve a large number of identical or similar parts, reducing manual labor and increasing efficiency.
Small-Batch and Frequent Tasks
Automate bending operations that involve a small number of different parts that occur frequently, reducing setup and changeover times and increasing flexibility.
Extra-Large and Heavy Tasks
Assist bending operations that involve extra-large or heavy parts that require two or more people to lift or manipulate, reducing physical strain and improving safety.
