Product Overview
The Robot Bending Cell supports both six-axis and seven-axis robot configurations. The seventh axis is independently developed and manufactured, allowing flexible rail travel length configuration according to different factory layouts and workpiece requirements.
With robot payload options from 20kg to 600kg, the APB Series Robot Bending Cell can be integrated with the full range of CNC press brakes and customized according to customer production needs.
Main Features and Advantages
Six-Axis and Seven-Axis Configurations Available
The robotic bending system can be configured with six-axis or seven-axis structures according to different application requirements. The additional seventh axis is a self-developed robot travel axis with flexible guide rail length configuration. This design allows the robot movement range to be adjusted according to workpiece size, production layout, and automation requirements.
Compatible with Full Series CNC Press Brakes
The Robot Bending Cell can be combined with different CNC press brake models to create customized automated bending solutions. The system is commonly configured with 6+1 axis CNC press brakes to achieve precise coordination between robot handling and bending operations. The final configuration can be selected based on product size, bending process, and production requirements.
