Structure of the Cell
The bending cell comprises several key components working in synergy:
- Abkantpresse Typ HDS-1030: The primary press brake unit.
- Biegeroboter ASTRO 100: The bending robot responsible for manipulating parts during the bending process.
- Umgreif-station: A station where the robot grips or transfers parts.
- Beladetisch: A table for loading raw materials or parts.
- Steuerung AMNC: The control unit for the system.
- Be- und Entlade-roboter: A separate robot for loading and unloading operations, potentially the ASTRO MP20.
- Förderband für Fertigteile (Option): An optional conveyor belt for transporting finished parts.

Bending Cell / Bending Robot
Automating the bending process significantly influences productivity by reducing setup times and optimizing workflow. The AMADA ASTRO 100 NT system addresses inefficiencies in manufacturing by linking office-based process planning with shop floor production. It allows for direct utilization of CAD data to generate CAM data quickly, simplifying the complex aspect of bending automation.
The ASTRO CAM programming software is a key innovation, enabling easy operation of the bending robot system and increasing productivity. It is designed for sophisticated and small parts, offering quick and accurate programming for both the press brake and robots. This software is recognized as a world-first in its category, eliminating the need for manual robot teaching and achieving automatic bending without extended setup times. Repeat jobs are accelerated by recalling data from the SDD server. The system enhances product flow reliability, delivery time predictability, and allows for increased unmanned operation through advanced scheduling capabilities. It also supports flexible job changes and quantity adjustments during operation, providing unparalleled advantages for cost-effective manufacturing with high consistency.
Key Features
- Enhanced multi-staging capabilities through integrated press brake and robots.
- Dual robot system for unmanned operation and maximized machine utilization.
- Flexible off-line programming system that generates all articulation code for robot and press brake movement.
- Advanced programming software accepts 3D BMF files, virtually eliminating the need for "Teach Mode".
- Precision press brake offers dimensional part angular accuracy up to ±0.25° and ±0.004” flange accuracy.
- Sectionalized punch tooling designed for short, easy-to-handle sections, improving setup speed and productivity.
- Unique down-acting press brake design eliminates shimming by matching hydraulic cylinder deflection in the lower beam to the upper beam, preventing part canoeing.
- The robotic cell is a productive system suitable for manufacturing lot sizes of 50 parts and higher.
