Affordable robotic bending cell is easy
to operate
The first showing of a competitively priced, automated robotic bending cell will demonstrate its easy operation and programming for small to medium sized sheet metal components.
LVD said it will be concentrating on 'cost-effective' sheet metal working automation and integrated sheet metalworking systems at the UK's MACH 2008 machine tool exhibition LVD will exhibit two machines never exhibited in the UK before, including one making its world debut

Precision sub-contractor's CNC laser cutting system purchase allows it cut 2500 by 1250mm mild steel sheet up 16mm thick, SS up to 6mm and aluminium up to 5mm in thickness.
The cell is ideal for companies looking for affordable automation of the bending of small to medium sized components.
Flexible and intuitive RoboCell enables the operator to move from 'art to part' faster and with fewer interventions than other conventional robotic bending cells, said LVD.
* CNC laser cutting - complementing the new RoboCell, the LVD Orion 3015 plus CNC laser cutting machine is complete with automated autoload unit and makes its UK debut.
LVD said that the Orion 3015 Plus is ideal for subcontractors or OEMs, which require a compact and value minded automated laser cutting solution.
The Orion 3015 Plus Autoload provides cost-effective automated laser cutting in a robust, reliable and compact package.
* Off-line programming - LVD will also exhibit its leading CADMAN offline software solutions including the following.
* CADMAN B 3D - Bending.
* CADMAN P - Punching.
* CADMAN L - Laser cutting.
The software will demonstrate how LVD can combine the manufacturing processes providing customers with the fastest route from 'art to part'.
Managing director of LVD in the UK, Chris Phillips, said: "Affordable mid-level automation is becoming increasing important for sheet metalworking companies these days.
The balance of should you automate or should you add labour is an on going struggle for most sheet metalworking companies.
We are looking forward to discussing and demonstrating to new and existing clients how we can provide them with an affordable and cost-effective automated solution for their sheet metalworking shop".
