Panel bender

Salvagnini (Stand E07, Hall 5) will show its P2-2120 panel bender featuring the new CUT option to sequentially cut one or more profiles starting from a single notched sheet with different lengths. The new CUT option includes: a CUT blade, which lies on top of the lower bending blade of the P2 to make the separation cut of the bent profile; a cutting tool with a fixed composition that acts as the upper cutting blade; and a conveyor that transfers the cut part to the automatic shutter for manual extraction. Parts are made in multiples as they are associated on the same strip of material, which is bent and cut in a single process. This optimisation helps to increase overall process efficiency. In terms of feasibility, the CUT tool is advantageous for parts that are too small or too narrow for bending on a press brake.

Flexible production solutions for electromobility

Highly flexible and productive grinding and turning processes for electromobility – this is the claim EMAG is making from Stand A32/B17 in Hall 4. Among other things, the focus is on the G 250 machine from EMAG SU (formerly Samputensili). With this solution, it is possible to produce axle drive gears, gear wheels and shafts with a maximum length of 550 mm cost-effectively by either generating or profile grinding. If required, very small profile grinding wheels or generating grinding worms can also be used, which ensures maximum flexibility and productivity in manufacturing.
