LVD will focus on smart manufacturing by showcasing interconnected sheet metal fabrication processes at EuroBLECH 2022 (25-28 October, Hanover, Germany). On Stand F104 in Hall 12, visitors will see the LVD theme of ‘Shaping Flows’. On display will be a smart factory cell, as well as the latest laser cutting, bending, combination equipment, software and automation, demonstrating flexible solutions to enable a smarter production environment.

The cost-effective smart cell brings to life a smart factory driven by cost-efficient machinery comprised of the LVD YSD LaserONE laser cutting machine, a basic, no-frills fibre laser, LVD Dyna-Cell robotic bending cell for small- to medium-sized parts, and CADMAN software.

According to LVD, Dyna-Cell offers bending automation at a fraction of the cost of traditional robotic bending systems. Designed to keep cost per part low, LVD says that Dyna-Cell costs less than two stand-alone press brakes. It is easy to program the cell, fully offline, in 20 minutes or less, with 10 minutes of program preparation, 10 minutes of tool set-up and first part production.

Also on the stand will be LVD’s Ulti-Form robotic bending system, which handles small batch and long production runs with equal efficiency, delivering high productivity and consistent bending accuracy. Ulti-Form offers a fast ‘art to part’ process, reports the company. CADMAN-B software automatically calculates the optimal bend program and imports bending data to the robot software CADMAN-SIM – no robot teaching is required. SIM automatically calculates gripper positions, generating the fastest collision-free path for the robot, and relays the information back to B, enabling the operator to work with a single program.
