BLM Group consolidates its presence in the metal wire processing sector with the DH4010VGP wire bending system, an all-electric system with two independent heads capable of bending wires up to 10 mm in diameter and bars, flat rods, wire-wound resistors and tubes.
The twin head makes the system well suited for bending medium to long parts with many bends, particularly when high planarity is required. The two bending heads can work independently to make asymmetric parts. They have been entirely redesigned, capitalizing on the positive experience of the E-Flex bending systems. Each head is provided with a twin bending turret which increases system flexibility with regards to the achievable bend types.
The DH4010VGP can apply flexion bending on each of the two turrets, pressure die bending for minimum radii, edge bending, variable radius bending and strike bending on the same part. Various technical solutions provide answers to an ever-increasing number of needs. The extra flexibility is demonstrated by the possibility of making parts which were once thought to be geometrically impossible. The reworking potentials, previously experimented on the E-Flex, are used to manage bending sequences very dynamically and avoid impossible geometries.
Some parts deemed infeasible because of the collisions generated during machining can be made by DH4010VGP by modifying the order of various steps in the bending sequence. This capability facilitates the operator’s work making it possible to process an increasingly higher number of complicated parts.
The handler that turns the wire length being processed can retract and clear the working field, allowing the bending heads to move very near each other and make very close bends, minimizing the length of straight parts. Higher system productivity is also guaranteed by optimized dynamics and cycles.
