Strengths

Plåt & Mekano has produced this part for the electrical industry for more than 10 years. From the beginning it was bent on a manually operated press brake. The batch setup time was about 8 hours due to tool change and adjustments required. With the EG AR the bending setup was reduced to only 5 minutes. The total bending time is about the same as with a manual press brake, but the big gain, in addition to the setup time, is that the machine operates alone, no operator is needed. Furthermore, the accuracy is much greater/more consistent as there are less risk of human errors. As you can see from this information and the part, tolerances are tight and there are many folds with a very small part, using the EG AR secures the consistent accuracy across thousands of parts, this reduces costs of rework/scrap and ensures our/our customers quality.
