Integrated bending solution Prima Power debuts at Blechexpo 2019
The new Prima Power’s bending solution eP Genius 1030 will make its world premiere at Blechexpo 2019, in Stuttgart from 5 to 8 November (Hall 3, Booth 3504). The eP Genius 1030 is a servo-electric press brake integrated with an automatic tool change storage, resulting in a more versatile, faster and reliable bending system which eliminates the manual set-up of the machine, allowing the operator to commit skills and time to the preparation of other bending batches.
This solution is specially fitted for minimum batches, where it is possible to reliably estimate the machine set-up, and short cycle times become imperative to gain a higher market competitiveness. The eP Genius press brake has 15 axes and a maximum tool capacity up to 32 meters. The eP-1030 press brake included in the solution is the most versatile machine in the Prima Power’s eP servo-electric range, a perfect combination of tonnage and work capacity (105 tons with a bending length of 3.060 mm), automatic CNC crowning, 5-axis back gauge and IRIS Plus angle control system on CNC-controlled motorized arms.
The tool storage can accommodate a total of 32 meters of tools to be placed on 8 tool holder supports that move on 3 axes. It allows to handle tools (Wila style) with a minimum length of 20 mm up to 515 mm. Furthermore, a rotating turret rotates the tools taken from the storage to grant multiple processing possibilities. The latest-gen user interface allows the programming of the piece in a simple and intuitive way, both on the machine and off-line, as well as the automatic management of the machine set-up.
At Blechexpo, the company will also display the high performance Laser Genius 1530 fiber laser machine with 10 kW laser, featuring best-in-class piercing time of less than 1 sec., and new cutting nozzles granting a reduction of gas consumption. Celebrating the 30 years of integrated laser-punch technology, Prima Power will then showcase at its booth the ultimate result in this category, the Combi Genius 1530 with the new eye safety protection mounted around the cutting head. This avoids the use of protective walls around the machine, resulting in greater accessibility and visibility of the system and simplified installation.
Prima Power will also exhibit the servo-electric technology of BCe Smart bending cell, a servo-electric semi-automatic machine ideal for single piece production, kit of components, perforated material, sheets with big holes and embosses. Its compact layout and combined loading and unloading sequence guarantee high productivity.
In the area dedicated to the software, finally, visitors will be able to watch demonstrations of the new parametric functions of MasterBend, the new UI for Tulus Performance Reporting and the new cloud-based application Tulus Analytics, which offers customers a variety of analyses derived from machine data.
