Compounding these challenges are meeting EG 6013 AR shorter lead times and reducing overall production costs. To resolve these issues, Robotic Bending Cell Amada continues to develop new machines and technologies which have resulted in Theater automated processes such as: • Fiber laser systems that automatically produce optimal beam configuration for a wide range of material thick- nesses • Seamless integration of punch/fiber laser combination technology — tap, form, punch and cut on the same machine • Automated material handling/storage systems to match the expanded productivity of fiber laser technology • Precise, rapid and highly-efficient automated tool changes • Advanced robotic bending systems for unmatched speed, accuracy and repeatability

Robotic Bending SystemThe HG 1003 ARs’ robot is designed to handle sheets up to 39\" x 31\" HG 1003 ARs and support loads up to 44 lbs.

Even the smallest of discrepancies can be detected and accurately com- pensated for, as early as sheet pick-up. Additional automated features available for the HG 1003 ARs include an Automatic Gripper Changer (AGC) and an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). As soon as a program requiring a different gripper is loaded, the robot automatically positions itself at the appropriate gripper station and completes the change. Similarly, an Automatic Tool Changer swaps tools and ensures that they are precisely positioned, thereby eliminating the need for position checks.

Press Brake with Automatic Tool Changer HG 1003 ATC Press Brake with Automatic Tool Changer Triple or quadruple the amount of bending setups performed each day and introduce rush jobs seamlessly. Increasingly, fabricators are con- fronted with the demand for a wide variety of parts and the associated short runs. Amada provides the ideal solution to meet this challenge with the HG 1003 press brake equipped with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). The HG 1003 press brake is an ultra-precise, high-speed bending solution. An innovative hybrid drive system achieves extremely fast approach, bending and return speeds — resulting in faster cycle times and more parts per hour. The ATC combines outstanding versatility with enormous capacity by providing 18 magazines for dies and 15 for punches. Each magazine can accommodate tool lengths up to 31.5 inches (800 mm). Tool changes are performed quickly and precisely eliminating costly delays associated with manual tool changes. Equipped with a newly-developed AMNC 3i (intelligent, interactive, integrated) control, the HG series achieves high-speed and high- accuracy with unprecedented ease of use. An 18.5\" multi-touch LCD panel ensures sim- plified operation. Enhanced database network features ensure better communication be- tween the CAM program and the AMNC 3i — resulting in less manual interaction and faster processing. • Advanced Servo Drive System – the HG’s hybrid drive system is engineered for low en- ergy consumption and requires less hydraulic fluid than conventional machines • Rigid Frame Design – a new, highly-rigid frame design features a larger open height than other machines in its class • High-Speed Backgauge – a 6-axis back- gauge system provides L-Shift functionality for gauging of complex part geometries

The laser head is isolated from punching vibration to help maintain beam integrity and cut quality. A cartridge-type lens provides for simple and fast lens changes. In addition, the use of non-contact sensor technology ensures that the laser beam remains focused on the sheet, thereby guaranteeing maximum quality and consistent cutting operations. An ASR 3015N TK, extends unattended operation to multiple shifts. Its compact tower design produces floor space savings while providing reliable and extremely efficient material storage and handling. Flexibility to produce smaller lot sizes in a variety of material types and thicknesses is provided by the additional shelves of the automated tower. In addition, an integrated TK (Take Out) system provides automated single-part sepa- ration and sorting. The highly-reliable TK system removes the part from the skeleton the instant it is cut free. Then, the part is precisely stacked.

The MPL is an economicalsystem that provides fast and efficient loading/unloading in a small foot-print. Designed and built at Amada’s Brea, CA facility, the MPL is ideal forfabricators who need a basic load/unload system. This high-speed systemutilizes a single raw material pallet and a single offload pallet. The unit ispositioned directly above the shuttle tables, minimizing the amount offloor space required. Since the system uses a single raw material pallet,there is no tower — making the MPL the ideal solution for environmentswith low ceilings.
