Schroeder MAK4 Evolution Bending Machine
A massive yet elegant solution to maximizing efficiency in your forming department. Not only can you bend a far greater range of parts—from small to enormous—you can do it with maximum efficiency, eliminating wasted time and manpower. The auto tool change system handles tools up to 25″ tall and eliminates costly down time during setup. Bidirectional up and down bending means you never have to flip the part, eliminating the need for a second worker. And the dual zone vacuum gauging system doubles your output by bending two parts simultaneously. The technologically advanced design lets you run processes in parallel, eliminating wasted time and motion, all while achieving new levels of productivity and capability.
Benefits
- Up-and-down technology reduces processing times
- Minimal set-up time
- Great flexibility and variability due to extensive equipment options
- Optional automatic tool changeout
- High productivity due to easy handling of workpieces
- Offline-programming and innovative CAD/CAM concept thanks to Schroeder Unfold
The MAK4 also features interesting details and extra options such as particularly rigid frames and main modules, extended opening heights (850 mm), clamping beam, strong drives, speed optimizer, float-free planetary drive motors, options for back and front stops, or a safety PLC with light barriers to make the work area safer. Thanks to the Advanced Handling Systems (AHS) – further development of Schroeder’s well known suction gauge, you can achieve the highest level of automation without any additional us of handling robots.
