stanzbiegezentrum

A stanzbiegezentrum, or stamping and bending center, is a type of manufacturing machinery used in metal fabrication. It combines two distinct operations, stamping and bending, into a single, often automated, system. Stamping involves using a die and punch to cut or shape sheet metal, while bending, also known as folding or pressing, involves deforming the metal along a straight axis to create an angle or curve.

These centers are designed for high-volume production and precision. They typically consist of a press, a tooling system (dies and punches), and a material handling system. The material handling system feeds sheet metal into the machine, positions it accurately for the stamping and bending operations, and then removes the finished part. Automation is a key feature, with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) managing the sequence of operations, die changes, and adjustments.

Stanzbiegezentren are versatile and can produce a wide range of parts, from simple brackets to complex housings. They are commonly used in industries such as automotive, electronics, appliance manufacturing, and construction. The advantages of using a stanzbiegezentrum include increased production speed, improved accuracy and repeatability, reduced labor costs, and the ability to handle intricate designs. The specific capabilities of a stanzbiegezentrum depend on its size, press tonnage, and the complexity of its tooling and control systems.
