VICLA Bending Press Brake Powers Metal Component Supply

This renowned company in Czersk, specializing in supplying metal components for the furniture industry, has chosen Vicla, a manufacturer of sheet metal machinery, to boost the productivity of its processes. This strategy has materialized in the installation of a 40-ton, 1250 mm bending press.

Why Purchase a New Press Brake?

Based in Czersk, the company is a major supplier of furniture components to the largest European multinationals. Employing 70 people today, it's a third-party metalworking center specializing in producing items such as lift supports, brackets, bases for chairs, tables, beds, armchairs, and various types of hinges.

The increasing demand for small-batch, custom parts prompted the company to invest in a new, small-sized bending press that was both incredibly fast and precise. A crucial prerequisite was the desire to find a reliable partner capable of producing a high-quality sheet metal machine. VICLA, a manufacturer of sheet metal machinery, was selected as the trusted partner to undertake this special project.

The Bending Press

A custom-made 40-ton bending press, with a 40-ton capacity and a 1250mm working plane length, 7 axes, and preparation for a bending robot. It is equipped with angle control photocells and a quick pneumatic lower tool clamping system.

Angle Control Photocells

By reducing the speed change point to 0mm, eliminating unnecessary slow speed travel, it guarantees time savings of up to 3 seconds per cycle. These photocells incorporate an integrated real-time image processor with real-time angle measurement data that includes the inside and outside angles of the material, average angle, material warp angle, material spring back angle for various material types, thickness, and grain direction, plus end of relaxation angle.

The Results

Thanks to this new sheet metal machine, the company is now able to complete orders more quickly, manage order peaks, and increase the productivity of its bending department.
