Gauge options for optimal handling The options for the PowerBend Universal are as varied as the workpieces that you can produce on it. Display of crowning system Gauge table, 1,600 mm, closed, with ball transfers Schröder offers a wide range of back gauge and integrated sheet support systems. The material rests on the support table while the gauge feeds the part through the bending sequence. Select the gauge best suited for your part requirements. Starting at 1,000 mm, the back gauge is accurately positioned using high precision ball screws to an accuracy of ± 0.1 mm. Gauges with depths from...

Tools Use the right tool for the job – Schröder understands this better than anyone. With dozens of standard geometries, and engineered customs, your parts will always hit the mark. The optionally available hydraulic tool clamping device reduces set-up times. Segmented tools on the folding beam leave more space. Tool exibility is key to minimizing set up times and maximizing capabilities. Tooling must be material and thickness independent, high capacity, and with generous free space. A compromise on any of the above is a compromise on the machine itself. Always tidy: Use our practical tool cart...

nano Touch The most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control Simple symbols and alphanumeric data describes the bending program. nano Touch The nano Touch is a modern alphanumeric touch screen control. Self-explanatory and very easy to operate. Control of the machine axes is through a path measurement system, programming from ange to ange. A clearly laid out user interface with easy to understand icons with text and numeric displays eases the operator through his day of running jobs. Corrections for angle and ange length are entered per part or per bend for even more accuracy control. The nano Touch...

The graphical solution to your complex forming needs POS 2000 Professional keeps the operator informed, from programming to the running part. For parts requiring graphical assistance to program and manipulate through the bending sequence, the POS 2000 Professional provides a visual interface for the operator and programmer. Through it, every step of the bending process is clearly shown. The graphics show the part as it is formed around the tooling and machine. The product is confirmed in a virtual mode prior to putting the sheet on the back gauge table, so the operator can form the part with...
