5. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 History The company has developed and delivered the manual bending machine from the 1991 to the 1996. From the 1996 up to the 2008, Finn-Power committed itself in the research and engineering of automatic bending machines by innovating it in the 2005 through the servo electric motors. Today, strong in the experience of the technologies obtained with the automatic systems, we have decided to transfer these advantages into the manual bending machine project, giving birth to the: FAST BEND

6. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 From the Press Brake to the Fast Bend From the manual bending, where the part has to perform the bending movement with 3 stressing points on the sheet and the need to turn manually the part in order to carry out bending inversions… … to the new system, where the panel is held still and only one bending side is moved, by taking to just one stressing point on the sheet.

7. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 No special tools are required Fast Bend can perform these bends just using standard tools. Special press brake tools Is necessary to perform radius or smashed bends with the press brakes…

8. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 The Fast Bend benefits are even more evident when the profiles panels have different shapes and dimensions. Not tools set up and fast bending sequence

9. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Press brake vs Panel Bender Fast Bend

10. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Height bending capability Furthermore, it is possible to perform profiles that can not be done with the press brakes, like tubular profiles.

11. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 1 Servo electric motor with air cooling - Very low maintenance cost - No influence by thermal condition - Excellent component quality - High reliability 2 Easy and intuitive programmability - Very fast production - Independent from operator skill - Auto learning program 3 Reduced factory impact - Lower tooling cost - Favourable energy saving - Minimum noise and vibrations - Very compact layout - Easy installation without foundation “FBe” Advantages & Peculiarities

12. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Servo electric motor with air cooling This technology brings several advantages such as: -Very low maintenance cost due to the better utilization of energy and power (only when it is needed) -No warm-up cycles with Servo electric motor doesn’t need any and is not influenced by thermal conditions like the fluid of the hydraulic systems -High reliability – the bending force is automatically calculated for every bend granting a reduction of electric consumption as well as the wearing or stress of mechanical components

13. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Rolling mode Circular mode - Better component quality thanks to the two different interpolation bending methods and a more controlled movement

14. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Easy and intuitive programmability The Bend Express is a very quick and intuitive program thanks to its graphical instructions. Fast Bend is also skilled-operator-free. In fact, the only operator’s duty is to load the panel, turn it to change the panel side and unload it when finished. With the Barcode Reader option the loading of an operative bending program is automatic

25. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 Safety barriers to avoid the access to the danger are located in front and at the sides of the machine. Two lateral doors with electro lock and safety micro switch, for ASP / AUT set-up. In the rear side, it is provided two doors with key locks and safety micro switches for maintenance purposes. SAFETY BARRIERS In the front side of the machine, there are photoelectric barriers. They are incorporated into the safety fences in order to ensure the operator safety during the use.

26. Bending Technology ROBERTO DE ROSSI 19 OCTOBER 2008 HARDWARE It has been used the new Siemens numerical controls series - Sinumerik 840D Solution Line – with drives from Sinamics family. Advantages are : Simplification of the wiring “Safety integrated” Hardware auto-knowledge connected to the system Possibility to remote the drives on the machine Siemens Safety Integrated system. Every safety input and output signal is based on two different channel to have a redundant information. There are also monitoring tasks that, if activated, control the axis behavior and activate the security condition as there are violations on the set state. If errors occur due to differences on the two channels, rather than passing the limits set for the functions, the stop operations trigger.
