Smart Series

State of the Art Automated Panel Bending

Features of the Automatic Panel Bender

More than just equipment, our Smart Panel Bender is a revolutionary solution. Built on a safety integrated concept, freeing the operator to focus only on what matters. Visual and sound signals guide the way, making every movement a value-added operation.

With a compact layout and a combined loading and unloading sequence, it guarantees high productivity. This isn’t just an investment; it’s a strategic move for anyone who needs a flexible, semi-automatic panel bender. The Accurl Smart Panel Bender doesn’t just bend metal; it bends the rules.

Industries that Benefit from a Panel Bender

Speed and Productivity Graph

Unlimited Capability

With its universal tool concept and the ability to use customized shaped tools, it becomes the ultimate all in one solution for any bending application. The universal tooling allows for both UP and DOWN bending without ever having to flip the sheet. This isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about adding value to the final part with automatic HEM and ARC bending, which is the kind of detail that separates a job from a masterpiece.

The Smart Series panel bender is more than just equipment; it’s the next generation of automation, a new benchmark for the sheet metal industry. It’s a machine that understands value, cutting labor costs while delivering an astonishing 300% higher efficiency compared to a traditional press brake—as fast as 0.3 seconds per bend. And with a full electro-servo transmission and closed-loop BUS control, its accuracy isn’t just better; it’s impeccable.

  • Fully automatic bending—high efficiency and energy efficient.
  • BUS control directly connects to the IOT for remote control and monitoring. 
  • Special high-load screw and guide rail structure gives high load-bearing capacity.
  • These screws give pinpoint positioning accuracy, and extended life.
  • Fully automatic lubrication system that’s completely maintenance-free.
  • Feeding structure with double servo rotation and automatic downward press.

Accurl Panel Bender: Simple, Swift, and Superior Bending

The Accurl Panel Bender is a revolution in bending, built for simplicity and speed. It eliminates the time-consuming setups and adjustments of the past. The Smart Bender achieves precise bends on every side of your sheet metal with controlled, intelligent movements of the blades. This isn’t just about bending; it’s about a dramatically streamlined workflow, reducing cycle times and increasing overall productivity.

Universal Tooling

The Panel Bender bends sheet metal with a single, universal tool, a master of a thousand shapes. It handles 90-degree angles, non-90-degree angles, circular ARCs, positive and negative bends, and every complex shape in between. This is why the panel bender is becoming indispensable in metal fabrication.

 

Auto Correction of Rotation Angle

Even the slightest deviation in the rotation angle can compound, turning a perfect arc into a useless cone. The automatic correction function is an intelligent feature that solves this problem. It constantly monitors for sheet rotation errors and automatically adjusts the C/C11 axis. This ensures that every single bend contributes to a true, consistent arc, guaranteeing the highest quality results.

Automatic Tooling Change System

Manual retooling and constant operator intervention have long been a source of costly inefficiency in sheet metal fabrication. Our system was designed to solve this with an Automatic Tooling Change Section. Instead of wasting time on retooling, our universal bending tools adapt automatically to any panel geometry in-cycle. This gives you the flexibility to produce a single part or an entire series without any downtime, fundamentally changing your production capabilities.

To further eliminate manual labor, our Flexible Automation system takes over the entire bending process. It quickly and automatically moves, grips, and rotates the sheet metal from start to finish, requiring no operator intervention during the cycle. The operator’s role is simplified to a single, efficient task: loading the sheet metal at the start and collecting the finished product at the end. This is a new way of working, providing unmatched speed, flexibility, and efficiency.

The Future of the Connected Factory

The future of manufacturing isn’t some distant concept; it’s already being integrated into the present. Its foundation rests upon precision and seamless connectivity. At Moore Machine Tools, we believe efficiency isn’t about minor adjustments; it’s about fundamentally redefining the bending process.

Consider our automated bend cell panel bender solutions an intelligent partner in your production. This isn’t just an automated machine; it’s the beginning of a new manufacturing standard. With its advanced robotics, we’re not simply reducing manual labor; we’re eliminating inconsistencies. Every bend, from the simplest to the most complex shape, is executed with unparalleled accuracy and speed. This is the true promise of automation: not just doing things faster, but doing them perfectly, every single time.
