Wire bending machine handles short-run, high-volume production
- April 30, 2015
- Product Release
- Bending and Forming
BLM Group USA has introduced the E-Flex CNC bending machine for wire fabrication. It is equipped with two clockwise and counterclockwise bending turrets for 3-D bending during one-part operation within the same machining cycle. Coil-fed wire is straightened in both a vertical and horizontal orientation to allow for various wire sizes and types, as well as automatic operation.
The unit incorporates VGP3D, a 3-D visual graphic program for constant monitoring of the machine to assist in performance and operator ease of use. Operators can generate a single machining program by entering geometric part data, automatically simulate the feasibility of the bending operation, change the running sequence directly in simulation mode, and calculate the real cycle time in advance.
The unit can handle short runs as well as high-volume production. It automatically corrects the program by searching for prior bends that could interfere with the bending sequence. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments to obtain the required parameters. In addition, chamfers can be added for burr-free cuts.
