E-FLEX is BLM’s completely electric
single-head wire-bending machine.
The scope of wire is expanding
globally. The BLM wire line includes
both single-head and double-head
solutions to meet all production needs.
E-FLEX, in particular, is BLM’s
completely electric numerically
controlled single-head wire-bending
machine that is designed to process
diameters up to 8mm. It has two
bending turrets with clockwise/
anticlockwise rotation and is suitable
for 3D bending. It also enables several
bending technologies to be used
simultaneously (flexure, blows, variable
radius).
Supplying the wire from a coil ensures
automatic operation. The workpiece is
straightened in a single forward
movement, at constant speed, without
intermediate stops, ensuring precise
straightening and bending repeatability.
The 3D (VGP3D) visual graphic
programming and the continuous visual
support of the processing zone make the
machine extremely easy, comfortable
and safe to use. The machine can, in
fact, correct the program automatically
and safely by searching its database for
previous bending experiences that
ensure that the first product to be
processed is correct.
