6 18/2023 Flexibility Text & Bilder: Schröder Group Feuchten 2 82405 Wessobrunn-Forst The Schröder Group will be exhibiting a wide range of sheet metal processing machines at Stand 1805 in Hall 1 at Blechexpo from November 7 to 10, 2023. The presentation will focus on swing bending machines for all sheet thicknesses and automation solutions for a wide range of applications. Highlights include the MAK 4 Evolution UD, which bends 6 mm thick sheets on 3200 mm widths, the PowerBend Multi with the option of tapered bending, and the brand-new EVO DuoBend, a swivel bending machine with two bending beams. The top model in the range of industrial swing bending machines is the MAK 4 Evolution UD for sheets up to 6 mm thick. The equipment of the machine with its generous upper beam stroke of 1090 mm includes upand-down bending beam and suction plate stop. Radius Step Bending will be shown as a special function of the POS 3000 3D graphic control. Making its first public appearance will be the EVO DuoBend. This motorized swing bending machine (useful length 4000 mm, sheet thickness 4.0 mm) works with two independently operated bending beams. After the up-and-down bending beam, Schröder thus introduces a second option for manufacturing large-area products with counterbends without having to turn the sheet. Bending of a negative bend is performed by the upper bending beam and bending of a positive bend by the lower bending beam. This eliminates the need to bypass already bent product legs, which means that there are no longer any restrictions due to the maximum bypass radius of less than 200 mm. The EVO DuoBend will appear at Blechexpo with a fully automatic tool changer, as has proven itself in practice on the MAK 4 Evolution UD with tools up to 500 mm high, making setup much easier. Hans Schröder Maschinenbau GmbH has been nominated for the „Blechexpo best-Award 2023“ innovation prize with the EVO DuoBend. Rotatable upper beam With the option of the rotatable upper beam, the Schröder Group offers the possibility to quickly switch between tool stations and geometries with different clearances. Both the PowerBend Professional and PowerBend Multi will be shown at the show with improved rotating upper beam options. The PowerBend Multi also features a new squeeze function that allows hollow envelopes to be produced entirely by bending with the bending beam. The swivel range of the bending beam has been extended to 190° for this purpose. In addition, the following stop variant has quickly become an insider tip among the machine options of the PowerBend Multi: conical bending. With the unique two-axis backgauge, form-fit plug-in profiles can be produced quickly and easily with a precision in the tenth of a millimeter range. This eliminates the need for manual reworking in applications where edges are not parallel, such as parapet or wall flashings, roof edge flashings, verge flashings, and claddings that are to have a slope. Perfect radii Also on display at Blechexpo will be the Schröder-Fasti brand of round bending machines. These are especially appreciated for roll geometry with a crowning that allows particularly uniform radii. Beading and flanging machines will also be on the stand, as will the ASK 3 manual press brake segmented on all cheeks and the two powerful MHSU and PDC motorized guillotine shears with NC positioning stop. More freedom, more flexibility
