Unique and unprecedented – a proven bending concept meets the latest Variobend e-drive technology. The new Variobend V 2.5 is 100% electric. Thanks to the new bending geometry with 300 degrees of free space, profiles with an aspect ratio of 1:2 can also be produced without any problems. Equipped with the latest technologies, the V2.5 sets new standards.

Standard Equipment:

VARIOBEND V 2.5 BASE FRAME

Excellent bending results are achieved thanks to the extremely high basic rigidity of the machine frame. In addition, this frame construction guarantees that the bending angle accuracy of the machines is maintained over a much longer period of time than, for example, with simpler U-profile constructions. The closed frame profile also ensures that the V2.5 no longer has to be anchored to the workshop floor. The machine can be adjusted perfectly to uneven floors using narrowly positioned adjustable feet.

FULLY AUTOMATED CUTTING – PATENTED

The new generation of the Variobend cutting device is characterized by its automation. This is the first cutting device that adjusts fully automatically to the selected material. Cutting gap and overlap adjustment are set fully automatically in less than 1 second. Based on the bending thickness, the cutting device processes up to 2.50 mm of steel. In addition, the new positioning of the cutting rail allows even more space for flashings.

VARIOBEND GEOMETRY

With a free space of 300 degrees, the new geometry of the V2.5 ensures even more variety in profile production. It enables profiles with an aspect ratio of 1:2 to be produced without any problems. The bending of narrow counter edges of 12 mm is also standard on the new V 2.5. A maximum bending angle of 150 degrees and the typical Variobend inclined bending beams for even more space round off the innovative overall package and enable the production of even more demanding profiles for the facades of the future.

VARIOBEND LOADING TABLE

The automatic loading table simplifies loading and unloading and thus ensures an efficient manufacturing process. Long sheets can be quickly and easily inserted into the machine with just one operator and removed after bending.

VARIOBEND V 2.5 FULLY ELECTRIC

Unique and unprecedented – a proven bending concept meets the newly developed Variobend E-Drive. The new Variobend V 2.5 is 100% electric. The newly developed E-Drive guarantees maximum positioning and repeat accuracy. The simultaneous control of several axes increases the efficiency of the V2.5 significantly and ensures short production cycles.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The modern E-Drive drives of the Variobend V2.5 ensure a significant reduction in power consumption. Depending on how long the machine has been in use, savings of several thousand euros per year can result.

VARIOBEND GRIPPER SYSTEM

When working with gripper fingers, the production process is further automated, which increases the productivity and precision of the flashings. With the optional different opening circuits, several profiles can be produced at the same time by just one operator and removed individually. With the newly developed gripper system of the V2.5, a minimum gripper dimension of 18 mm and a gripping height of 38 mm for existing bendings is achieved. If the gripper dimension falls below the minimum, the stop fingers switch on automatically. With the new optional double gripper, short flashings can also be produced automatically. On request, additional grippers can meet individual customer needs.

VARIOBEND V2.5 DPR – SYSTEM

The newly introduced DPR – system (Dynamic Pressure Regulation) allows the clamping pressure to be individually adjusted on each stand. This feature guarantees perfectly opened hems over the entire working length. In addition, this system is also used in the field of crowning. Corrections to the bending angles are possible using different clamping pressures.

VARIOBEND V2.5 SAFETY

As with all Variobend long folding machines, the safety concept of the new V2.5 also meets all current safety regulations. In addition to security, the focus was also on user-friendliness. The combination of clamping beam protection and the well-known lateral moveable L-shapes allow the operators maximum freedom of movement without restrictions that could impair the manufacturing process. Emergency stop safeguards and the enabling pedal for two-man operation are standard.

Variobend High-strength clamping beam segments

The high-strength and exchangeable clamping beam segments of the Variobend V2.5 ensure the best bending results for the entire life of the machine, without unwanted marks being visible in the material.

Variobend V 2.5 crowning

The new crowning system of the Variobend V 2.5 works fully electrically.

VARIOBEND 4.0 software solutions

Markets are subject to permanent change. In sheet metal forming, this also leads to an ever higher complexity of products and processes. Effective, highly flexible, but also user-friendly solutions are needed. The software solutions of ASCO will help you to get a grip on precisely these challenges, reducing expenses in the process as well. Networked production reduces the risks of error and increases profitability.

VARIOBEND Pro 4.0

Increase your output

Many orders and small lots mean that your machine operators or programmers must program faster – error-free! With VARIOBEND Pro 4.0, you have sufficient time for efficient work preparation. VARIOBEND Pro 4.0 software displays all process steps for an efficient planning process. With VARIOBEND Pro 4.0, you do not program your long-length bending machine or your twin bending machine at the machine but in one or several workplaces parallel to production. This process reduces auxiliary process times distinctly and thus increases the machine availability dramatically. No time-consuming training of the machine. Thus, your VARIOBEND works productively without brakes.

Save time and increase your overall productivity

Once the order has been set up, the data are transferred to the machine paperless. In addition, the production order can be exported as a PDF and can be provided with a unique QR code. This PDF is handed over to the machine operator. The machine operator scans the profile to be produced. By means of the QR scanner, the profile prepared in the office previously is called up with all characteristics and can then be produced immediately. Avoid unproductive times – use the intelligent and highly efficient
