Solutions for forming sections SCHWARZE-Robitec will be showing its latest solutions for the forming of plates and sections at EuroBLECH. The focus will be on two new bending machine series, Platebender PB for plates, and Sectionbender SB for sections. The company will also be presenting the new control for its tube bending machines, and the TorqueFormer, which forms sections with complex isometrics torsion superimposed and three-dimensional. Depending on the required version, the new PB series plate bending machines process plates with a material thickness from only a few millimetres up to 125mm. They are optionally equipped with three or four rollers. The number of rollers on the new SB series section bending machine is also variable. In their standard equipment the machines have eleven axes to create a larger bandwidth of bending contours. As the SB machines process both flat or angle irons as well as T-, I-, C- and

special sections in various formats and dimensions, the technology is suitable for use in a diverse range of industry sectors. Thanks to the large bending moment, the SB series also forms particularly difficult sections with ease. The patented TorqueFormer offers the advantages of the optimised bending kinematics of cold bending, enabling flexible manufacture of complex topologies with high dimensional and contouring accuracy.
