Automated robotic bending cell handles small, complex parts

Amada’s EG 6013 AR automated robotic bending cell combines a servo-electric press brake with an advanced bending robot. The high-speed system is suitable for small, complex parts, eliminating the need for human operation and the associated risk of dealing with difficult-to-handle small parts.

The compact cell is engineered for the unattended production of any lot size or part mix. Equipped with what the company says is the world’s first twin servo-electric drive system, the cell offers high-speed and -accuracy bending with lower power usage, says the manufacturer.

Features include automatic angle measuring, offline programming, multiple part load/unload stations, and an automatic tool changer.

The 6-axis robot travels along the ground in front of the press brake. Loading can be performed from a variety of positions, offering a large capacity for raw materials. Several unloading options also are available. Completed parts can be stacked by the robot, placed in boxes, or placed on a synchronized conveyor belt.
