RAS machines for: Facade panels and profiles
Bending large architectural facades cassettes
The company Les Ateliers de Yèbles as a job shop has specialized in the production of facade elements. The requests of the architects sometimes are very special and constantly require new part design variations from the technical department at Yèbles. Flexibility is also needed in production as the production quantities often only range between ten and forty identical parts. The RAS UpDownCenter meets these requirements brilliantly.
Bent metal parts for glas facades
Anyone who imagines a skyscraper with a glass facade probably does not think about how many bent metal parts it contains. The Canadian company BVGlazing has specialized in this industry and bends the parts using an XLTbend UpDown folding machine. After importing a STEP file of the part, the Bendex software calculates the ideal bending sequence. The operator at the machine only calls up the provided program and places the tools in accordance with the setup instructions, Stop fingers position the blank for each bend on the bend line. Suction cups in front of the stop fingers hold the part in position. This allows the updown bender to automatically process complete sequences with multiple positive or negative bends without the operator being involved in the actual bending process.www.bvglazing.com
