VARIOBEND EB 2.0

Details

The Variobend Long-length bending machine – Model series EB

The EB models impress with their precise versatility and attractive cost-effectiveness. They combine the best quality with easy operation.

Model series EB are powerful long-length bending machines. The patented bending system with the transverse rear-facing bending apron permits a diversity of profiles unprecedented up to now. The large free space created by the tilted bending apron enables the production of profiles which are only possible on VARIOBEND long-length bending machines. ASCO innovations, such as the conical bending and slotting of profiles, the segmented bending and clamping beams made of high-strength steel as well as the manual crown bow system, servo technology and the new arched top beam are available as options.

The EB models are available in lengths of 4 to 12 metres and have a bending capacity of 1.50 mm to 2.00 mm of steel sheet.

Apart from the precision of the edge parts, the focus of every purchase decision is on the production time as well. By means of the VARIOBEND V-TOUCH control included in the standard unit, your overall productivity is increased, which combines efficiency and user-friendliness in an unprecedented relationship. The software stands out for its user-friendliness and clear structure. Any number of profiles and folders can be set up in profile management. They can be moved, copied or exported by a simple touch.

AUTOMATED CROWNING SYSTEM The automated crowning system by servo technology guarantees highly precise flashings with a high degree of automation.

THE VARIOBEND TORSION BAR allows a controlled hemming over the full length to a pre-determined value.

THE VARIOBEND BACK-GAUGE, driven by maintenance-free high precise ball screws, guarantees perfect positioning. Back-gauge range 5 – 1.000 mm optional 1.250 mm.

VARIOBEND CUTTING DEVICE guarantees perfect cutting results. The cutting device is directly attached to the chassis. This leaves the bending beam free from any guide rails.

VARIOBEND DRIVE CONCEPT combines highest bending speed with lowest power consumption. By using a Start|Stop technology the energy consumption reaches a minimum. With the optional Servo technology much higher bending speed with an even further reduction of energy consumption can be reached.

THE VARIOBEND CHASSIS – the solid base frame for the highest level of bending precision

Full automated crowning system

Variobends full automated crowning system. Every machine stand is driven by a separate servo drive.
The crowning system is operated by the Variobend Touch Control. The Variobend Touch control shows the exact positioning of each stand. The operator can easily move each stand. This system ensures perfect bending results over the complete working length.

V-Curved clamping beam

With the unique V-curved geometry, the Variobend becomes more flexible. With the curved clamping
beam, you have more space to produce a bigger variety of profiles.

Variobend roll former

Max. Rollforming capacity:
0,8 mm steel (400 N/mm²)
1,0 mm alu (190 N/mm²)
0,5 mm stainless steel (600 N/mm²)
Smallest possible shank length with roll forming:
A: 45 – 60 mm
B: 25 – 32 mm

Moveable working table

Thanks to the moveable worktable, you can increase your variety of profiles and optimize your
Workflow.
Each insert table can be individually moved backwards by 145mm.

Software

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
