Britain's leading ride-on garden machinery manufacturer, Countax, has installed a GBP1 million sheet metalworking cell in a purpose-built extension to its Oxfordshire factory.
Comprising both hydraulic and servo electric constructions, the machines offer the advantages of the manufacturer's established Express Bender programme and extends the production possibilities to new applications areas such as perforated material or sheets with big forms.
Maximum bending length varies from 1650mm to 2550mm and maximum sheet thickness is from 2.0mm to 3.2mm, depending on the machine model.
Bend height is up to 200mm.
Loading and unloading may be carried out simultaneously to achieve shorter cycle times, parts for processing being transferred automatically from an external table, ensuring operator safety.
An automatic clamp feeder moves the part to be bent from the table to the manipulator.
When all bends have been completed, an automatic pusher conveyor unloads bent parts to the unloading table, which incorporates an automatic buffer function.
The BC bending centre can be customised using a range of Finn-Power options such as automatic tool change, additional upper tool, and extra short blade.
With the automatic tool change option, set-up for a new job is fully automatic. Request a free brochure from Press and Shear Machinery ...
