Autonomous bending

Why investing in innovation is so important

Traditional manual bending processes are prone to a variety of problems, including quality defects, slow production times, downtimes, high levels of waste and a shortage of skilled la­bour. Added to this are more difficult frame­work conditions due to increased raw material and energy prices. These factors not only affect pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, but also the compet­i­tive­ness and market se­cu­ri­ty of com­pa­nies.
HAEUSLER has once again honoured its reputation as an innova­tion leader by being the first and only manufacturer in the world to introduce autonomous bending for the EVO ma­chine series. With this technically innovative solu­tion, HAEUSLER offers sig­nif­i­cant added value in terms of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and pre­dic­ta­bil­i­ty in order to successfully meet the chal­lenges of the industry.

The solution
from HAEUSLER.

Plate metal bending for shipbuilding with round bending machines

Autonomous bending
The solution can be quite simple.

The EVO machine series offers manufacturing companies a wide range of benefits that not only increase productivity, but also ensure market security and long-term profitability. With the integration of a self-learning and self-correcting system and the option of 24/7 operation, autonomous bending is a future-orientated investment. It helps companies to compete and succeed in an increasingly demanding market environment.

INNOVATION

Plate bending Detached from specific expertise &
material fluctuations

With Autonomous Bending, HAEUSLER AG sets new standards in the plate bending industry. Without the need for specific expertise or concerns about material variations, HAEUSLER plate bending machines can now bend autonomously. This is made possible by the intelligent BENDtronic control system! Our 4-roll plate bending machines are now also capable of bending very large diameters with side and top support. The deformation caused by the plate’s own weight is no longer an issue, thanks to the side and top support. This enables fully automated and autonomous production of large containers, silos, and wind towers. With our 4-roll machines, it is now also possible to bend very large weft knives with lateral and upper supports. Deformation due to the plate’s own weight is no longer possible with the supports and guarantees perfect bending results.

FAQ
Important questions
about autonomous bending

We understand that change and innovation are often met with scepticism. You may ask yourself: Will it really work? Am I taking any risks? That’s why we’ve collected the most frequently asked questions from our customers on this topic and answered them in our FAQ.

Is there a risk that operators will lose their jobs due to autonomous bending machines?
The introduction of autonomous bending machines is not aimed at replacing jobs, but at optimising the work process. Autonomous bending increases productivity and allows more orders to be processed. The operator’s skills can be focussed on other tasks during the autonomous bending process. It also creates space for further training and the development of new skills.
Is autonomous bending safer than the manual bending process?
The bending machines with autonomous bending are equipped with advanced safety mechanisms to prevent accidents (light barriers). The precise control and monitoring reduce human error and help to make the working environment safer.
Is the quality of the bent parts affected by autonomous bending?
On the contrary, workpieces that have been bent autonomously guarantee consistently high quality, as the roll position is continuously measured autonomously during the bending process and adjusted accordingly. This reduces waste and improves the overall quality of production while at the same time increasing independence from your suppliers.
How does the introduction of autonomous bending affect production costs?
The introduction of autonomous bending can significantly reduce production costs by enabling more efficient work processes, optimising the use of materials and reducing downtime. This investment leads to an overall increase in productivity and can therefore clearly be categorised as a cost-cutting measure.
Can I bend in the same way as before with autonomous bending?
Autonomous bending offers the same flexibility as manual bending, if not more. Through precise control and continuous monitoring and adjustment, complex shapes can be developed with extended design freedom. This increases the company’s flexibility.

With best recommendations

‘A MILESTONE IN PRODUCTION’

The decision to switch to HAEUSLER’s autonomous bending machines was a milestone for our company. Thanks to the support and advice of the HAEUSLER team, we were able to optimise our bending processes and significantly increase our productivity. The EVO machine, equipped with autonomous bending, has not only improved the accuracy and reproducibility of our products, but also alleviated our shortage of skilled labour. We are extremely satisfied with the results and can unreservedly recommend HAEUSLER as a reliable partner.
