Servo-Electric Bender: Five Different Parts in 5 Min.
Prima Finn-Power booth 6045
Prima Finn-Power introduces Fast Bend, the newest member of its
family of servo-electric ben-
ders, which it says can bend
five different parts from different thicknesses of dif- ferent metal alloys in just 5 min. It’s designed to min-
imize or eliminate setup time in the bending process, particularly for sin- gle-piece-flow production. The machine performs positive and negative bending without flipping of the sheet, as well as hemming and multiple-radius bends; requires minimal operator skill and han- dling; features automatic tool change; and includes barcode scanning to load pro- duction information into the control and begin production.

Link Servo Presses
to 2500 Tons
Amino North America booth 15035
Amino debuts its link servo presses, which combine fully controllable servo- motor drives, special drive shafts and dou- ble toggle link mechanisms to provide a variety of forming motions with variable
speed, stroke and torque control. Press- es are available from 300 to 2500 tons. Also on display: the AC-DRM series of die- spotting presses (30 to 200 tons), which allow a single operator to safely disas- semble, manipulate, repair and reassem- ble upper and lower dies while working in a natural, upright position. Centrally rotating the slide maintains a high degree of accuracy and reduces maintenance requirements, and the open upper frame (crown) design facilitates direct crane loading of the upper die to the mounting surface.
