Software
POS 3000 3D graphic control:
Interactive sheet design
POS 3000 3D graphical controls are among the most powerful controls on the market. Because both the hardware and software come from a single provider, the SPB Evolution UD and POS 3000 3D graphical controls are a perfect match.
Working with POS 3000 is extremely comfortable:
Clearly laid-out product selection, including a search function and navigation in submenus, enables the operator to select work steps and connect them in the production plan menu to create sequences. Individual product profiles can be designed quickly via the intuitive finger-activated drawing feature. The exact dimensions may be entered and changed in the dimensioning menu. To check and coordinate with the customer, the drawing may be outputted on paper using a printer.
Using the program that is created, the software generates the optimal sequence of bends, including automatic collision and threshold value monitoring. The folding angle and cut are corrected automatically using interpolation from the database.
Unfold software – Schröder Unfold
Uncomplicated and simple
To coordinate hardware and software perfectly, Hans Schröder Maschinenbau developed unfold software to calculate the blank size and program with effortless precision. Step-files are imported into Schröder unfold, they are unfolded to create the flat pattern, calculating cut size, notch development, and internal geometry placement. The most efficient bending sequence is then calculated and the machine program created. The last step is the creation of the flat profile in a DXF format that can be exported for use in the blank creation process.
Tool changer
Fully automatic tool changer
Complex tools and small batches – no problem with the industrial folding machine MAK 4 Evolution UD from Hans Schröder Maschinenbau with top options: the fully automatic tool changer. In a matter of seconds the clamping beam and also the folding beam can be equipped with tools.
